Our fellow classmate, Kay Seale (Winburn) has just finished writing the second edition of her cookbook. Good Cooking for Family and Friends. Following is her story about the work involved in creating it:

Kay Winburn-Seale with her 320-page cookbook

Kay wrote, “My original cookbook was completed 10 years ago. Richard, in the last few years, had really been after me to write a new one, but I just couldn’t commit myself to such a huge undertaking.

In January, I finally got the bug to write the new edition. I committed myself thoroughly to do the job. I knew that it would be huge. And it was.

You can’t imagine how many hours it took me, Richard and Stephanie to get to the final product.

Making changes and adding new recipes makes this a much better cookbook than the original. After hours of painstaking work, of printing proof copies and editing, I finally got to the point of telling Richard that it was a “go.” We looked at each other, for reinforcement, and agreed that it was time. With 320 pages, we wanted no mistakes.

I have been able to “gift” the cookbook to family and friends–66 copies.

Whew, what a job.”

Although the cookbook isn’t sold commercially, Kay said she would make copies available to classmates for $18.00 each, which covers the cost of printing, punching and binding. The shipping cost is an additional $4.00. If you would like to purchase a copy, please leave a comment below and Kay will contact you with details.

Thank you,
