In her new cookbook and memoir, “Gaynell’s Kitchen: Down Home Cooking from a Wayward Southern Belle,” Gaynell Rogers writes about a dinner she once hosted at her hillside Novato home for Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal and Charlie Musselwhite.
Everyone gathered in the dining room — painted in warm Tuscan colors inspired by her trips to cooking schools in Italy — for a meal of seafood gumbo, buttermilk cornbread, orange almond salad and cheesecake.

High Achiever Gaynell Rogers Shares Her Cannabis, Cancer, and Cooking Journeys
The cannabis-industry veteran collects her stories and recipes in her new book, Gaynell’s Kitchen.
Gaynell Rogers’s personal cannabis journey closely follows the plant’s circuitous path to prominence in the United States, including the sharp turns and the fits and starts. She discovered cannabis during the prohibition-era, as a teenager in the 1960s. Rogers later relocated to the Bay Area, where she worked as a publicist in the music business, the film industry, and the cannabis space. Rogers helped shape the narrative during the early days of medical cannabis, and now the four-time cancer survivor is sharing her story with a new book, Gaynell’s Kitchen: Down Home Cooking From A Wayward Southern Belle.
