So many guests rave about the cooking at Gilbert Lodge that we needed to publish Chef Paula's secrets. Guests say her cooking, "tastes like home made!" She is also the one to ask about etiquette because she is the "First Lady" of Gilbert Lodge. Favorite saying: "I love to cook with wine....sometimes I even put it in the food." Chef Paula has a huge oven and no less than two microwave ovens. Hard to believe she can keep those cooking appliances busy all at once. Paula does it with ease. |

| Guests often ask for an
all-American favorite, Macaroni Hot Dish. Chef Paula bakes it up in a brightly colored ceramic pot. |
Dessert is often fresh strawberries
with whipped cream. Who could ask for more? |
| Sometimes Chef Paula cooks a Chinese
dinner. After the main course, fortune cookies are served.
Here is the text from some of the cookies served at Gilbert Lodge: "Help, I am being held captive at a Chinese fortune cookie factory!" "You are going to meet a beautiful woman. You will give her money. She is our cashier!" |
| January 3, 2010 e-mail: I have a suggestion for Chef Paula. If she ever finds some free time and needs something new to do, I suggest she create a cook book of her favorite recipes complete with your photographs. I think it would be a hit. Question, how can you eat so well and not weigh 300 pounds? You must be really physically active during the rest of the day. Diane from Lake Benton, MN. |
