Tamara Landre
Napa Valley, California

I'm originally from Modesto, CA, which is in the middle of the Great Central Valley. It was a nice, normal place to grow up back in the 70s and 80s. Growing up, I thought there were only two seasons: Hot and Fog. I now live in a smaller, prettier California valley, on a beautiful winery estate.

I believe that real food, prepared with love and shared, has the power to make life better.

Welcome to my blog. Make yourself at home.

About the blog



Each and every thing on this blog is copyright 2006-2012 (and infinity) by Tamara Landre, all rights reserved. I take all of the pictures myself, unless otherwise credited, and for better or worse, I write everything, too. I apologize in advance for using my iPhone instead of my good camera to take some of the pictures. Really, though, if you'd like to use something on your own blog, just let me know in a comment or email. Thanks!

(In case you're wondering how it's pronounced: Tamara rhymes with camera, and Landre is just like Landry, more like pantry than laundry or laundray. All very Americanized, and not like the Hebrew, Russian and French from whence they came.)

If there is anyone out there who found me because they were searching for Tamara Landry, with a y, please move on, these are not the droids you are looking for. Tamara Landry is/was a porn star of dubious achievements. I am an entirely different Tamara Landre, with an e. I am also not Tamara Nadin-Landré, the Scandinavian martial-artist. Nor am I the Tamara Landry who was missing during hurricane Katrina. I do hope she turned up.
