Welcome to GretchenMckay.com!
I'm not a professional cook, but I love exploring Pittsburgh's many culinary treasures and testing recipes from the countless cookbooks that cross my desk as a food writer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. After years of raising children (count 'em - five!) I also have developed a passion for getting the heck out of Dodge whenever I get a chance. I've included some of those stories here.
You also can find links to “Cooking with Gretchen”, a series of award-winning cooking videos Post-Gazette photographer/videographer Steve Mellon and I have created in the “PG Test Kitchen” (my kitchen at home, if you want to know the truth).
It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it! Enjoy!
