Sara Kaluzshner
Food Stylist
From toy kitchens to real ones, Sara’s love of food was piqued at an early age and she has been baking and creating fantastic foods with fervor ever since. She received her BS in Nutrition and Food Science from New York University, and her culinary degree from the Institute of Culinary Education. She has big-city experience assisting food stylists in New York on editorial and commercial shoots and big-name experience as the lead stylist for James Beard award-winning cookbook author James Peterson. Sara was honored with the roles of food stylist and recipe development for several James Peterson cookbooks including, “Beef,” “Kitchen Simple” and “Vegetables.”

While New York’s bright lights and incredible experiences honed her skills, Sara was ready for more sunshine and adventure. She moved to Colorado and started a highly popular granola business. Her original flavors such as Blueberry Lemonade and Indian Fusion have more than once been described as the best granola ever.
Food styling remains her true passion and her patience, keen eye, and love of beautiful shots make her an asset to any shoot and a pleasure to work with. She is always up for new challenges on set, is a detail queen, can expertly pull nutritionals and is cool under pressure - no matter how hot the kitchen (or job) gets.
Outside the kitchen: Sara loves to travel, ski, swim, treasure hunt at vintage stores, tackle puzzles, and bake. She is a history buff and is happy to regale you with historical facts, should you ask.
“Beth's team is absolutely INCREDIBLE, and invaluable to our photoshoots. We've worked together for years and whether's it's preparing edible works of art, developing unique recipes or hanging out with us on-set to style, her team is talented, professional and SO much damn fun to be around!! I cannot recommend Hawkins and Co more highly. ◡̈”
