What a wonderful tribute to Sarah. I’m still a bit in disbelief as I thought, hoped she had more time. I try to honor her with every knead. Thank you so much for sharing Sarah’s story with so many. I am blessed to have learned from her and to become good friends. I know she’ll continue to inspire bakers for years to come.

Thank you for this lovely tribute, Amy. Sarah and I connected through Instagram. We had hoped to collaborate on an event at some point (pasta + bread) but it was not to be. I miss her gentle presence and generous spirit. I love her book and will continue to think of her whenever I bake from it.

Thank you for this, Amy. I had a zillion things on my plate this morning but paused to read your beautiful tribute to Sarah. Deep inhale, slow exhale... Meeting Sarah at ABF was like that-- I had a million things to do and was needed in a million directions, but that moment-- when the three of us were talking in the mill room (and at FBC) there was this immediate connection... like flour and water.. She was so calming and all heart. Big loss.

I never met Sarah, but—like everyone else—my interactions with her online were always lovely, and it was clear she was a special person and baker. Thank you, Amy, for sharing her spirit with everyone here.

What a beautiful tribute to a remarkable individual. Thank you for introducing me to Sarah. Although I never met her, and in fact I did not know of her until reading this tribute, I am left in awe.... and sadness. What a remarkable individual. What an inspiration she was -- and will continue to be! -- to so many people. Her spirit lives on. Thank you for sharing.

My friend Roger Gural, the celebrated baker, tells me how few resources there were for learning about bread just thirty years ago. Over the past few days I've been reading all the old posts by Debra Wink on TFL, prompted by several articles here. There's a lot of information now, and it is challenging, but we wouldn't want it any other way, would we? I'm thankful for all the generous teachers, then and now.

What a wonderful tribute. Only Sarah could bring so many people together in such a unifying way. I, too, wrote a tribute to her which was just published, along with an illustration of Sarah baking, in the hard copy April issue of Columbus Monthly. The online version should be out this week. —Kathleen Day @katalinaday
