Sarah Withrow has been following in the steps of her grandmother and great-grandmother with a passion for cooking. She loves researching old cookbooks and receipts (recipes) and solving the limited information given to then be able to recreate the recipe for work at Conner Prairie as well as at home. Sarah also has a passion for textiles and domestic skills. She enjoys spinning, weaving, dyeing, bobbin lace, broom making, chair seating and making floor cloths, to name a few of her interests. She is a lifelong-learner always looking for new skills.
