About

I’m Sabrina Modelle AKA The Tomato Tart. My husband, Joshua, and I recently made the big move from San Francisco to Sonoma County- or as we like to call it, Paradise. We’re lucky to be surrounded by miles of vineyards, redwood trees, and beaches as well as local farms and ranches.

I work from home as a web designer for an amazing company called Care2.com. Our clients are both multinational and local nonprofit organizations and I love what I do.

I love to cook, eat, and talk about food. Farmers markets, specialty food stores, and ethnic markets are my happy places. The ingredients you find on this site are wholesome, sustainable, and humanely raised. I’m madly in love with the world around me and the people I am surrounded by.

The majority of the recipes you will find here are vegan or vegetarian and since October 2012, all of the recipes are gluten-free.

I love working with brands I believe in. If your company is all natural, local to California, or doing something new and different, please email me at sabrina (at) thetomatotart (dot) com.  I would really enjoy hearing from you.

The Tomato Tart Online Bake Sale For Japan +  Charitable Works

The Tomato Tart is also the home of the Online Bake Sale for Japan. In March of 2011, in response to the devastating earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent nuclear disaster, I (like so many) felt the need to act. My first response was to have an online bake sale, and the results were amazing. More than 90 food bloggers from across the world responded. We raised over $8,500 for Second Harvest Japan, that country’s first food bank.
