Gwen's Home Cookin Cookbook
"Seasoned With Grace and Served With Love!"
That has always been Gwen's life...full of grace and overflowing with love...just ask anyone who's ever eaten at her famous "Gwen's Diner" or sat down to simply visit. Her cooking is a reflection of her life!
Gwen started in the restaurant business in 1983 and turned a passion into a purpose by opening the first Gwen's Diner in the small western Kansas town of Edmond, pop 50. (Others were to follow in the area communities of Bogue, Hill City and Alton) The small cafe soon became an area favorite as folks would drive for miles to eat fresh made cinnamon rolls, taste her delicious home-made pies or eat her legendary "chicken-fried steaks" that she became known for!
With glowing articles in local, area and regional newspapers, it wasn't long before her reputation caught the eye (and stomachs) of national attention. A travel magazine entitled "Cooking Across The Country" made the deliberate stop at Gwen's to see what all the "fuss" was about!?
When all was said and done and the editor cleaned up the last crumb from his pie plate, he headed back to New York and proceeded to write a glowing article about Gwen's Diner naming her place one of the top 50 small town cafe's to dine at in the US. Quote: "Wherever there's a Gwen Diner, there will ALWAYS be GREAT food and a warm welcome!
Through the years, Gwen compiled those "favorites" and put them into a cookbook. It was her dream!
Her desire is that Gwen's Home Cookin' will not be just another cook book that clutters up a shelf...but that it will be a treasured culinary friend...easy to read...easy to follow...and simple to use! (After all...it is seasoned with grace and served with love!).
