We're bubbling over with pride at Central Market Fort Worth. We have a brand-new Cooking School Manager, and she brings an amazing resumé to the table.

Sarah Hooton comes to us fresh from the ovens of Le Cordon Bleu in Dallas, where she was an instructor for 2 years. She earned her chops teaching at Le Cordon Bleu in Austin for 3 years, and trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Ottowa, Canada. With a degree in Baking & Pastry from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, Sarah went on to work as a pastry chef in Portland, Oregon for 3 years. Her working experience is a menu of the best, from the Four Seasons hotel in Houston, Texas, to the Savoy in London, and with Chef David Bouley at the Bouley restaurant in New York, a landmark in fine dining and exquisite cuisine.

Sarah is an acclaimed chef, winning an incredible thirteen medals at the American Culinary Federation Pastry Competition in 2007, and was voted the Pastry Chef of the Year for the state of Texas. She was also a finalist in the United States Pastry Competition three years running!
