TV chef to lead cooking classes in Reno
By Johnathan L. Wright, Reno Gazette-Journal
It would be hard to imagine Sara Moulton, the celebrated television chef and cookbook author, garnishing her culinary instruction with staccato exclamations, cutesy nicknames or frat boy gestures familiar from Facebook.
Sara — Bam! — Moulton? No. Definitely not.
But Moulton’s style — approachable, knowledgeable, cheery without being cheesy — has served her (and her readers and viewers) well through three Food Network shows and “Sara’s Weeknight Meals” — now on public television — 20 years as executive chef of Gourmet, her current gig as food editor of “Good Morning America” and through the creation of three cookbooks.
On May 20 and 21, Moulton will appear at Nothing to It! Culinary Center to promote her latest book, “Sara Moulton’s Everyday Family Dinners” (2010, Simon & Schuster), a finalist for best family cookbook in the International Association of Culinary Professionals 2010 awards competition.
She’ll lead a hands-on cooking class on May 20 in which students will prepare dinner with her.
