The Primitive Palate

Welcome to The Primitive Palate! My name is Sarah and I am the 31 year old writer & recipe developer behind this blog. My husband and Partner -in-Crime, Alex, is the talent behind the lens and takes all the great shots you see. Thanks for visiting! As you can tell, I have a love and passion for real food and crazy wanderlust that takes us all over Europe…

In addition to cooking, I love to take pictures and I love to write. Starting a food blog was inevitable for me. This is just a simple way for me to share what I make at home with friends, family and anyone interested in the Paleo lifestyle.

The recipes on The Primitive Palate are mostly all developed by myself. I cook through trial and error, testing recipe after recipe to find the perfect result to share with others. My readers will only get the best of the best.

About Sarah & Alex

We met while Alex was stationed at Fort Eustis in Virginia working as a journalist for the U.S. Army. We actually met through a dating site! I knew the first time that I kissed him, this was the man I was going to marry. I was just finishing up culinary/pastry school and the 3 year apprenticeship I did with the chefs at The Willamsburg Inn & Lodge in historic Colonial Williamsburg. Only after a few months we were engaged, then married and then being stationed in Kaiserslautern, Germany!

Alex is the main reason that I have taken steps to live a healthy and active lifestyle. He has completely transformed himself through diet and exercise and now it’s my turn!

Right now our family includes us and a little guy named Axel. Our two and a half year old Shorty-Bull.

urrently Alex is working as a journalist here in Germany, but working towards going into the Special Forces for the Army. Sarah works as a pastry artist, making custom specialty cakes, wedding cakes and cupcakes.
