Sarah Becan has been drawing comics since she was very small. Her
food-based autobiographical webcomic "I Think You're Sauceome"
sparked a love of food and culinary illustration, and her work has
since appeared in various publications, including Saveur, Eater,
Chicago magazine, and Chicago's Reader newspaper. Her first graphic
novel, The Complete Ouija Interviews, was a recipient of a Xeric
award, and she illustrated Let's Make Ramen! and The Adventures of
Fat Rice. Currently residing in Chicago, she would be very happy to
do nothing but draw food all day.
