I love cooking, eating a variety of foods and drinking wine (in moderation, of course)! There's nothing better than a wonderful meal! In Northern CA there is an abundance of fresh ingredients year round as well as wonderful wines! We have been fortunate enough to travel and experience wonderful cuisine, but I miss all the ethnic foods I grew up with. We live in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern CA. I have been married for 20 years to my wonderful husband, Phil. My name is Star and I am originally from Rhode Island. This page is dedicated to my Dad, who I love & miss each and every day! 3-12-29 to 1-22-10
