About Me

Diana Coogle
I have lived in the mountains above the Applegate River, in the Siskiyou Mountains of southern Oregon, for almost 50 years. Among the many things I enjoy is food – cooking, baking, eating, sharing. I also enjoy writing and have been a professional writer most of my life. See my blog dianacoogle.blogpost.com for weekly essays about my life in the mountains. Stay with this blog for essays about food and the accompanying recipes.
