About Gwen
Hi, my name is Gwen!
What is your cooking style?
I am an amateur home cook at heart. CanGwenCook is my way of sharing some fun recipes using everyday ingredients which you can pick up at your local grocery store.
Who are you cooking for?
I can honestly say that I am better at cooking for a smaller group of 4-6 people. The size of my kitchen and cookware are made for a couple + a few friends, thus, making massive amounts of food just isn’t going to happen.
Typically, my cooking is focused on a protein and veggie diet with minimal carbs.
When I do cook carbs, I would cook a rice substitute like quinoa or chickpea rice or whole wheat pasta.
What are some of your favorite recipes?
I love making Keto-friendly macadamia bread which I can use as a vehicle for millennial toast like Smoked Salmon & Avocado macbread toast.
One of my go-to is an open face shrimp fiesta bowl with lentil rice and parmesan cheese.
My husband loves the chichiron-breaded chicken parmesan baked with your choice of yummy cheese.
We both enjoy our cheddar bay almond flour biscuits for snacks and as a substitute for carbs.
What are you passionate about when you are not cooking?
Urban hiking with my two dogs, Booki & Sparky.
Traveling the world for food and mental relaxation. I miss you JAPAN!
Hosting music listening sessions for my love of trance music.
Watching short documentaries and content to educate myself on the world.
