Gerd Conte of Uniondale was a food lover's dream, a masterful chef whose dishes left an impression long after the last bite settled in the belly.
A Norway native who immigrated to the United States in 1962, she taught adult cooking classes in local venues such as the Herricks Adult Education Program and was adored as much for her stovetop skill as her personal warmth.
