The Frugal Foodie Cookbook Tour

Cookbook author, cake decorating teacher, radio producer, marketeer, card-carrying cheapskate, wife and mom. Whew! My first cookbook The Party Girl Cookbook was written 1998. Back then I was newly married and kid-less, the streets were paved with dot-com gold, and a young Ben Stiller taught us how to laugh. I had plenty of time and money for parties that included elaborate themes, silly costumes and the inevitable next-day hangovers. Lara Starr never lets a limited budget get in the way of a good meal.
