Meet Sarah Kate Benjamin
As an herbalist, holistic chef and cookbook author, Sarah Kate knows the importance cooking has on our daily lives. She sees the kitchen as a sanctuary. A respite from the long day, where creativity, comfort and calm coincide. For her, there’s no deeper nourishment than the nourishment we feel connecting to ourselves, or with the ones we love, over a delicious meal.
Cooking became second nature after learning to garden in her early twenties. With so many herbs, greens and vegetables growing in her community garden, she focused on putting them to good use in the kitchen. During this time, she also struggled with chronic fatigue syndrome and found that creating a practice of cooking wholesome foods infused with restorative herbs brought back a sense of vitality she once lost.
From there, she was hooked and dove deep into studying the healing powers of herbs and honed her cooking skills. She’s studied herbalism at the Florida School of Holistic Living and Herb Pharm, clinical Ayurvedic foundations at the dhyana Center, and apprenticed in the buddhist kitchens of Tassjara Zen Mountain Center.
Her work in co-creating The Kosmic Kitchen has deepened her passion for helping people all over the world feel empowered through everyday herbal kitchen practices that support their healing, creativity and connection to the earth.
WHAT Past clients ARE SAYING…
“My favorite part was having Sarah as a teacher! She’s a wonderful teacher and a wealth of knowledge, information and experience. She made everything feel accessible and fun. She took the time to answer all of my questions so thoughtfully. It felt very personalized and I appreciated that she would always send me links and resources to things we talked about in class. I also really enjoyed learning how to use herbs in food in an accessible way. I am not the most technology-inclined person, and yet I was amazed at how much I could learn and feel connected through a screen! I honestly don’t have a least favorite part, other than that I wish the classes didn’t have to end :)”
“Working with Sarah Kate was one of the best things I have done for my family. With an infant, a toddler (who is a very picky eater), and a husband who works all the time, my days quickly become very hectic and I often find myself scrambling to put together a meal at the very last minute.
Sarah helped me organize and prioritize so that I was able to provide my family with delicious, nutritious meals that incorporated traditional practices like soaking and sprouting, without all the usual stress and commotion.
Each recipe was beautifully simple and easily adaptable to suit anyone’s taste, be it kids or vegetarians like myself. We enjoyed every one of the recipes! ”
“I adored my virtual cooking classes with Sarah. Sarah is incredibly knowledgable and she gave me a wonderful introduction to Ayurveda. I loved discussing medicinal herbs, their benefits and ways to incorporate them into our family’s daily meals. From teas to delicious dips, reinventing pestos, creative salads, Sarah has been an incredible source of inspiration. I have loved being introduced to new ingredients. Sarah’s Kosmic Cooking Classes are incredibly organized, beautifully presented, creative and professional. I have throughly enjoyed incorporating medicinal herbs into our everyday recipes. Sarah is absolutely brilliant!”
“I’ve been feeling so much better since our session. I so appreciate your care and attention to connecting me with so many other resources as well. I’m looking forward to incorporating them into my day to day. Also, that Tulsi Rose tea is the best thing I’ve ever had + makes me so happy - such a good suggestion.

FAQ’s
Why do you work with clients for 3 months?
I’ve found that most people really need more than just one session to help make nourishing rituals a daily practice. Being able to spend more time diving into your constitution, walking through how to make herbal foods step-by-step, and having accountability and support each month can make all the difference. Especially, when you’re wanting to work with these practices long-term. Being a kitchen herbalist is a lifestyle and something that takes time to develop and create your own relationship with. I look forward to helping you on your journey to feeling empowered to become your own best healer.

We’ll meet bi-weekly (twice a month) for an hour or more in our own kitchens via Zoom, Skype, or Facetime—depending on what platform works best for you.
