SARAH MARTIN

HOST & EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

Sarah has lived, worked and eaten in Hanoi, Prague, Paris and Mumbai. Whether pho
for breakfast from the woman in the alley in Vietnam, masala dosa from street stands on Nariman Point, or the radio assignment that got her a complete dinner at a renowned
3-star Michelin restaurant in Paris, local food is Sarah’s perfect appetizer for an interview. Reporting for the CBC, NPR, New York Times and the Voice of Vietnam, she has always worked to pair personal stories with a larger audience. Sarah started Home Cooked because she is curious about how different people’s backgrounds, family and cultural, come to the table.

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

CJ has been writing and reporting specifically about food for more years than she cares to admit. Her passion for food journalism began with her column, Beyond Burgers on CBC Radio’s Metro Morning. She’s interviewed some of food’s biggest celebrities including Nigella Lawson, Gordon Ramsay and the late, great Anthony Bourdain. Her most recent food-related project was hosting and producing The Fork on CBC Radio, an hour-long current affairs/news special about food which had two encore presentations.

ILLUSTRATIONS & GRAPHIC DESIGN

She currently works as a graphic designer and illustrator in Toronto. Charlotte did all the illustrations and design elements for Home Cooked, including the recipe cards and title typeface.

Margaret has worked as a magazine writer, newspaper reporter and editor, radio producer and documentary maker, journalism professor, and radio news editor. After 50 years of this she retired, mostly, but she made an exception for Home Cooked because the subject matter is so dear to her heart.
