MEET THE CHEF:
Starla Turner I am a home chef. A self-taught cook with lots of practice. I began collecting recipes about 50 years ago. I knew someday I would cook for a family. I just never dreamed it would grow to 16 immediate family members and there will positively be more. My home economics class introduced me to hands-on kitchen experience. I would try out my new skills at home. I was so excited to learn how to make radish roses and carrot curls. My mother loved it when I cooked. She always cleaned up the mess. I guess it is her fault that I am a messy cook today. I worked for a local caterer 30 years ago and learned so much about food presentation. I was intrigued by it and even catered many small events with the help and encouragement of my husband, David. In 2014, I opened Starla`s Kitchen, a home cooking business and prepared freezer meals. My small business grew fast by word of mouth. I never dreamed I could prepare so much food in my home kitchen. It was my business, but also a ministry for me. I fed elderly couples, sick people, hurting people and busy families. I met so many lovely people along the way. I retired and closed my business in 2021. Since then, I self-published a cookbook, Starla`s Kitchen, a collection of cherished recipes. I am currently taking a baking class at Brightwater Culinary Institute and learning new techniques to prepare for my family and friends.
