Sara Marino

Sara Marino (born 1987 in Naples) – Author, Chef, and Master of Natural Sourdough Baking

Raised among the dough and aromas of her grandmother Lina’s kitchen, Sara Marino has transformed a family passion into deep, living knowledge. With over 25,000 students trained and tens of thousands of copies sold, she is a beacon for those seeking to rediscover homemade bread — authentic, alive, and a gesture of care and freedom.

An accomplished chef and author, Sara promotes a simple and genuine approach: no chemicals, no expensive equipment, only natural ingredients and respect for the slow rhythms of fermentation. For her, kneading is an act of love, a healing ritual, and a return to one’s roots.

She is the author of Cucina Sana Per Pigri – 150 Recipes, L’Arte del Pane e del Lievito Madre, Pane per Tutti, Estate in Gelato – A Practical Guide to Homemade Gelato Without an Ice Cream Maker, and other practical manuals.

With her debut novel L’altra Riva – Rinascere dove il cuore ha smesso di battere, she tells a journey through the heart of Tuscany, where pain and hope intertwine with the same strength as water and flour.

Sara passionately leads a vibrant community of sourdough enthusiasts, spreading the value of baking as a daily act of beauty and freedom.

Through courses, workshops, and authentic content, she offers concrete tools to learn how to feel the dough, trust yourself, and create bread that tells stories of home, patience, and slow time. She doesn’t sell illusions but true presence: her voice, her method, her experience.

She teaches more than bread.

She sows freedom.

And she accompanies anyone willing to come home.
