Laurie Lufkin contacted me last week and asked about getting involved with GMG. She has a cooking show on Cape Ann TV and has won numerous awards for her shows and cooking even though she’s never been formally trained and is very upfront about that fact. I sorta get the impression she takes pride that she has been so recognized for her cooking even though she has never gone to culinary school.
I spoke with her at legnth about what it is she would like to do on GMG. We came to the conclusion that it would be great for her cooking program on Cape Ann Television if folks could come here the day before and get the recipes and ingredients for the dishes that she would be preparing the following day on Cape Ann TV. She could give the GMG readers a heads up on the times when her shows would be airing, go get the ingredients to cook along with her and publish her recipes here. Hopefully we can upload her shows here too so they can be archived for your reference instead of played once or twice on TV and then shelved forever.
So please give Laurie a warm welcome as the newest member of the GMG team.

Thank You Frank! I am very excited about this new collaboration. Hope you will tune in to watch the show on Cape Ann TV.
Thank God you are here, Laurie !
Now maybe this joint will feature more than subs and fried seafood
Ouch!
Thank You Jim. I will do my best to give you some delicious easy to make recipes that you would be proud to make for your family and friends.
Great to have you aboard, Laurie! Gloucester people sure do like to eat!
Thank You Sharon! Gloucester, Essex, Rockport, Manchester–I think all of Cape Ann is a great place for people who like to cook and eat!
Thank You so much everyone! I appreciate the warm welcome and look forward to sharing my recipes with you! You will see a lot of seafood (because I love it) and only a very very small portion of it will be friend (my clam cake recipe from Food Network) and probably no subs–will let the people to actually know how to make a good sub do that!
And I can promise you there will be lots of dessert……..yum……….
Another reason for me to check out GMG! I can assure you all that Laurie is a FABULOUS cook, Ive known her all of my 38 years!
I can’t wait to see your recipes here, because I can’t watch your show in Maine..:(
LOVE YOU!
Thank You my friend! I am excited that you will be able to watch! Didn’t take too long to figure out who was behind that name!
