Two Knives and a Pan

Two Knives and a Pan is a Malden-based personal chef and catering business run by Sarah Hartzell, an Ohio native who now lives near Boston with her family. One offering is a weekly Meal Membership, in which members receive a variety of meals delivered to their door each week, with pickup also available. For clients who want meals cooked in their own kitchen, Sarah handles in-home custom meal prep, including the meal planning and grocery shopping.

Sarah also works as a recipe developer and culinary instructor, creating recipes for brands such as Curio Spice Co. in Cambridge, and she previously taught at Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street Cooking School in Boston. Her love of cooking began with her grandmothers, helping them pit cherries for pie as a toddler. The business name reflects her belief that great food needs only simple techniques, two knives and a pan.
