Sara Moulton’s Home Cooking 101: How to Make Everything Taste Better

Not just a collection of wonderful recipes, HOME COOKING 101 is a teaching manual aimed at the home cook. The recipes will indeed make it easier to put dinner on the table on a weeknight, but, as Sara notes in her introduction, “more important is that each recipe specifically demonstrates a tip or method that can make you a better and more confident cook while also teaching you to make your dishes taste better.”

Sara Moulton Cooks at Home

Sara Moulton Cooks at Home, published by Broadway Books in October 2002, embodies Sara’s mission as both author and television host: to counter America’s disastrous love affair with fast food by encouraging everyone to cook delicious and healthy food at home and to dine with family and friends.

Sara’s Secrets for Weeknight Meals

In her second book, Sara’s Secrets for Weeknight Meals, published by Broadway Books in October 2005, 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.

Sara Moulton’s Everyday Family Dinners

In her third cookbook, Sara Moulton’s Everyday Family Dinners (Simon & Schuster; $35.00; April 6, 2010), Sara presents 200 exciting new recipes for overscheduled home cooks who want to treat the family to something new without breaking the bank or spending hours in the kitchen. Chapters include such innovative entrée ideas as “Egg-stra Specials” (breakfast for dinner), “Soup Suppers,” “Appetizers for Dinner,” and “Two for One” (where the first recipe includes enough ingredients to recycle into a second entrée on the next night).
