Cook with Sonoma Spice Queen — Culinary Spice Summer Cooking Classes in Petaluma

"Since it was all Geography, History, and Sociology I was able to infuse my lifelong love of learning about different cultures, cooking and spices to develop Sonoma Spice Queen," says Petaluma's Wind McAlister, aka Sonoma Spice Queen, who is offering a series of small group cooking classes this summer.

"I like how different societies celebrate life and family through their own food traditions," says Wind. "It is interesting how these traditions influence our cooking here in America."
