Sara Moulton
One of the hardest-working women in the food biz, Sara Moulton has been juggling three jobs for the last several years. She is the host of “Sara’s Secrets,” which runs on the Food Network seven days a week. She is the chef of the executive dining room at Gourmet magazine. And she is the Food Editor for ABC-TV’s “Good Morning America.” In 2002, she added a fourth gig to the list: promoting Sara Moulton Cooks at Home her first cookbook. And October 2005 welcomed the arrival of her second, Sara’s Secrets for Weeknight Meals.
Her TV career began in 1979, when she was hired to work behind the scenes on public television’s “Julia Child & More Company.” Her friendship with Julia led eventually to Sara’s gig at “GMA,” where what started as another behind-the-scenes position ripened by 1997 into on-camera work. By then Sara had begun hosting the Food Network’s “Cooking Live.” Six years and over 1200 hour-long shows later, “Cooking Live” ended its run on March 31, 2002. “Sara’s Secrets” began the next day.
In her newest book, Sara’s Secrets for Weeknight Meals, Sara delivers a collection of 200 easy-to-prepare, delicious dinner recipes that are ideal for our time-crunched lives and that satisfy the tastebuds. The book is filled with her own versions of American classics; easy and popular ethnic dishes to spice up the repertoire; dishes to whip up from pantry staples as well as supermarket salad bar and deli items; and slow-cooking recipes for leisurely weekends.
