Hello, I'm Sanaë. Thank you for stopping by.
I'm a novelist and cookbook author, collaborator, ghostwriter, recipe tester, and editor. My first novel, The Margot Affair, was published in 2020. In 2022, I was a National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellow. My second novel, Morning Child, will be published by Riverhead in July 2027.
I received an MFA in fiction from Columbia University, where I taught essay writing and was a writing consultant at the Writing Center. I've worked as a recipe writer and editor, and as a cookbook editor at Phaidon and Martha Stewart. In 2024, I published my debut cookbook, Hot Sheet, that I wrote with Olga Massov. Most recently, I was Maxine Sharf's collaborator for her cookbook, Maxi's Kitchen, a New York Times bestseller.
I was born in Paris to a Japanese mother and French father. I was raised in France and Australia, and now live in Brooklyn, New York.
