Sarah C. Deigl

Orange, VA
AOS Culinary Arts 1997

Currently the Chef/Owner of Real Food, specializing in catering, custom baking and take-out in Orange, Virginia. Previously worked in Catering at HotCakes in Charlottesville, VA; was the Sous Chef at the Clifton Inn in Charlottesville, VA and the Pastry Chef at the Inn at Meander in Orange, VA.
 
Remembering NECI: Attending NECI was a tremendously satisfying experience. It was a joy to be surrounded by people as obsessed with food as I was. The schedule was demanding but I never felt like I was wasting time. There was no busy work. Every chef and instructor knew who I was and pushed me to do my best.
 
I still use recipes from classes at NECI 13 years later. Vermont is a beautiful place to live and so strong in terms of commitment to local, sustainable and artisanal food.  If I had to do it all over I would certainly choose NECI again. 

I'm happy to answer your questions.
