WELCOME HOME!

I’m Susan Uehara Rakstang and thank you for visiting COOKING FOR HER EYES – I created this site to augment my memoir with stories behind the story and scenes not included in the book. This journey will grow organically as time goes by, so let’s keep in touch!

A CYCLE OF LIFE can refer to an infinite number of subjects, from biology, nature, animals, and humans–to business, art, communities, and more. In my book, COOKING FOR HER EYES, its “Cycle of Life” is captured in the arc of MUSIC, FOOD, LOVE and DEATH. Without music, I wouldn’t have been able to write my story as I did. And without food and love, I couldn’t have accepted death. 

Menu pages cover interests and essays that align with MUSIC, FOOD, LOVE, and DEATH including related photos and notes compiled during the writing process. MEDIA contains book reviews and relevant notices “in the news,” and BEHIND THE SCENES have stories behind the Cooking For Her Eyes story.

ENJOY THE JOURNEY!
