After many months of speculations, we can finally announce
that changes are about to happen to the STARA team. At the end of this year, Stacey and her
family will relocate to Sydney, Australia. I am very happy for them, of course, and wish
them all the luck, but am devastated since I will not only loose my business
partner but also my best friend.
So, what does this mean for STARAfood?
Well, most important, we will not quit – that is of course not
an option. Unfortunately the cooking classes cannot continue as before since we
will loose the kitchen (I don’t think the new tenant at Yosemite C2194 will
enjoy having me around) and my own kitchen is not appropriate for teaching. We
are currently discussing where (let us know if you have any connections!) and
at what capacity we can continue to teach but, until we have found a new spot,
I will be available for private classes at your home and I will also hold them regularly
at Clicias.
We will also continue to work with Liduska, baker
extraordinaire from Lidu’s Sweets, and also with Cheryl, Style Maven, so
together we are for sure moving STARAfood into 2016 and beyond.
We are also working on a book to tell our story of this
amazing journey we have been on. A book of recipes, for sure, but also about
our philosophy and approach to food, wine and entertaining.
Stacey might move to Sydney, but she will only be an email,
text or plane ride away. Understandably she will be very busy with her
relocation preparations in the upcoming months but never fear, our classes will
go on as planned.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact
either of us via email, facebook or wechat.
