There's Something About Sara
Food Network's Sara Moulton Dishes on Life as a Celebrity Chef and Author
By Suzy Feine
. This stint quickly led to an on-air role as the morning show's food correspondent.
Also during this time, the producers of Food Network approached Moulton with a proposal. "They asked me to do a pilot for the show How to Boil Water," she says. "I was awful! I was convinced they'd never call me back, but they did." Moulton hosted Food Network's Chef Du Jour, which later led to her own show, Cooking Live.
Live audiences, impromptu phone calls and off-the-cuff responses from Moulton led to the success of Cooking Live. Six years and 1,200 shows later, Cooking Live ended production, only to be replaced the very next day with Moulton's current show, Sara's Secrets.
"My cookbook turned into a sort of autobiography, but it wasn't originally intended that way," says Moulton. "As I gathered my recipes and family recipes, I began thinking of the family times spent preparing each recipe. I felt I needed to include photos of the family members that contributed to those memories." Moulton's cookbook metwith such success that she wrote a second, Sara's Secrets for Weeknight Meals (Broadway Books, 2005).
