A queen in the making! 8-year-old Gwen writes her first cookbook & donates proceeds to Puttinu Cares
A great idea!

This girl is a star in the making! Meet Gwen Gravina, the eight-year-old who launched her first cookbook last month with parts of the proceeds being donated to the local organisation, Puttinu Cares that helps cancer patients.

Last month, Puttinu Cares also shared Gwen’s story, noting that buyers will be making a difference when buying her cookbook. Gwen had been “preparing a daily recipe on her page since school lockdown,” Puttinu Cares said. Fast forward a little while later, and Gwen released her very own cookbook!

“This star was a student in my class this year and I managed to get my hands on her first cooking book, Gwen’s Kitchen,” her teacher, Ms Gianella shares on Facebook. 

“I highly suggest that you all check it out for some super yummy recipes and some of the proceeds go to Puttinu Cares too. So proud of her.”

To order your recipe book, all you need to do is message Gwen's Cooking Club on Facebook. Easy as ABC!

A queen in the making! Well done, Gwen!
