About Dana Zia

I would have to define myself as a birthing empty nester seeking creativity as the vehicle to self discovery. So I’m doing a lot of experimenting right now. I am writing a food column for our local newspaper and quite frankly, loving it. It gives me an excuse to play with food!

    I love nettles! A nettle tart is a great idea. Have to play with that one. Thanks for the idea.

    Stir up Valentine's day with a tactile feast

    Food is such a decadent way to celebrate this love holiday. I recommend trying something very Roman and throw out the silverware. Have a provocative, tactile feast with your love. Stir up the senses with a chocolate Chambord Fondue that I have posted to my blog, “the Go-Lightly Gourmet.” Oh and please do not forget the grapes.
