COOK OF THE WEEK - NADINE PAGE

Submitted by admin on Wed, 07/23/2014 - 8:28am

Wandering through the Humboldt Farmers Market last Saturday, I met someone who was anxious to be a Cook of the Week for our paper. It appears that Nadine Page from Pocahontas loves to bake because she takes baked goods to three different Farmers Markets – Humboldt, Pocahontas and Rolfe. She lists some knitting as her other hobby, baking being her favorite hobby! Nadine has been married to her husband, Gordon, for 21 years. He now resides at the Care Center in Pocahontas. Nadine has two children and Gordon has four children. Nadine and Gordon met when their kids were dating and went to school together. Nadine grew up and graduated from Pomeroy and Gordon grew up in Dakota City and graduated from Humboldt. Nadine’s two children are Sheryl Trenary who lives in Vinton, and Brian Petersen from Pocahontas. Gordon’s four children are Brenda Rosendahl of Osawatomie, KS; Mary Tilley of Eagle Grove; Doug Page of Des Moines; and Kevin Page of Eagle Grove.
