The heart behind Saffron & Savoir
Saffron & Savoir was founded by Sarita Bhagwat. Sarita is a trained chef, natural teacher, gracious host, and above all, a lifelong food enthusiast.
After two dynamic decades in Consulting and Financial Services, Sarita followed her first love: cooking, teaching, and sharing beautiful meals with others.
A Culinary Journey Rooted in Heritage
Sarita grew up in India, learning to cook by observing her grandmother (Aji) and nanny (Bai), two exceptional home chefs who passed down their wisdom without recipes, but with plenty of love.
After coming to the U.S. for graduate school at the University of Florida (Go Gators - 2025 NCAA Champions!), she eventually made her home in the Boston area in 1996.
Global Experience, Local Heart
As a globe-trotting culinary student, Sarita honed her craft with cooking classes across the world: Pasta making in Assisi, Italy, Tapas on an eco-farm in Majorca, French techniques at Le Cordon Bleu, London.
Through it all, she remained driven by one simple joy — sharing deliciousness with others.
