Not Your Average Pop Star Spouse

Trudie and family chef Joseph Sponzo co-authored Lake House Cookbook, which is filled with text written by Trudie, recipes developed by Sponzo, and lots of mouth-watering photographs.

"I feel very angry that consumers just aren't informed of the poisonous pesticides that are put into our soil," Trudie told the Associated Press. "[They] have a negative effect on the animals and environment but also on our children." The organic community is taking notice of her. The new magazine Organic Style featured Trudie in a Q&A in their premiere edition (on newsstands now). She told the magazine that she feels most organic "in bed, of course."

In addition to writing cookbooks, producing films (such as the dark comedy "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels"), as well as acting and directing, Trudie also co-founded The Rainforest Foundation (see my previous article entitled "Saving the Rainforest") and coordinates the foundation's annual mammoth Carnegie Hall fund-raiser. Yet at the end of a busy day, she says her favorite way to unwind is to hang out with her kids.

Sting says Trudie is the only person he'll seriously listen to when it comes to his work, so her opinion carries a lot of weight with him. At least one report states that it was Trudie who convinced him to take on the rain forest cause. Inspired by Trudie's work on a documentary about male transvestite prostitution in Brazil ("Boys from Brazil"), Sting wrote the tongue-in-cheek "Tomorrow We'll See." And although Sting admitted on the Rosie O'Donnell show (a week after Trudie made an appearance to publicize Lake House Cookbook) that Trudie almost never cooks, he said that when she does foray into the kitchen, he likes her meals best, "because she cooks them with love."
