This book has come to be more than just a compilation of recipes – it is a compilation of love and support from our family and dear friends. There are not enough words to express our gratitude to those who contributed to this project, and how much it means to our family.



Baby Owen was diagnosed with craniosynostosis, which happens when the sutures in a baby’s skull fuse together earlier than they should. Surgery will be required to correct the problem, and this cookbook was created for assistance with medical expenses. We asked those close to us if they would contribute some of their favorite recipes to this project, and we were overwhelmed with the response.



From appetizers to sides, main dishes to desserts, this book contains a wonderful array of favorites from our friends and family. We hope you enjoy these featured dishes and thank you for joining us in “Cooking for Owen.”
