Chef Sara DeLaronde

I was born in the San Fernando Valley in Southern California, but at age 15, my family packed up and moved to Bellingham. What a culture shock! Still, I’m incredibly grateful for that move—it brought me to the beautiful Pacific Northwest, where I met my husband. Now, more than 25 years later, we’re still going strong and raising our amazing 10-year-old son along with our three beloved fur babies.

I’ve worked in the food and restaurant industry for over 20 years—and honestly, there’s not much I haven’t done! Serving others and creating memorable experiences has always brought me joy, and the service industry gave me a solid foundation of invaluable skills I still use every day.

In 2010, I broke my leg, and that unexpected pause gave me the time to reflect on my future. What was next? I realized it was time to learn a new craft—cooking. I’d always loved experimenting with new flavors and cuisines, so culinary school felt like the natural next step. I attended Le Cordon Bleu, graduated at the top of my class, and proudly declared:
“I want to make the world happy through food.”

I always knew I wanted to become a caterer. I love the hustle and bustle of big events and the small details that can make a party truly unforgettable. My journey began with a private catering company that prepared high-end food for private aircraft. From there, I moved on to one of Washington’s most exclusive catering companies, Lisa Dupar Catering, and eventually stepped into corporate catering, working with major clients like Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, and REI.

Today, I feel truly at home with Honest to Goodness. I absolutely LOVE what I do and the amazing clients I get to serve every day. It’s a joy to bring my creativity, experience, and heart into every meal I prepare.
