Interview: Sarah Bentley — Founder of Made In Hackney & Author of We Cook Plants
Over the past decade, Sarah Bentley has transformed Made In Hackney from a small local food project into a movement with global reach. What began as a community cookery school in East London has become an international model for food justice, plant-based cooking, and community care — all rooted in joy, inclusion, and the belief that good food should be a basic human right.
Beast spoke to Sarah about her journey from journalist to food activist, the power of community kitchens, and her new book, We Cook Plants
