from the kitchen to the pulpit

“Cooking is an observation-based process — you can’t do it if you’re so focused on the recipe you forget to taste, smell, and feel your way through it.”

Chef and Pastor Dave Wetherbee has spent a lifetime serving others — first in the kitchen, then in ministry. Now retired, he continues to share his greatest passions: faith, family, and food.

From Sunday dinners to special celebrations, Dave’s recipes have been enjoyed by family, friends, and church communities for decades. His cookbook is his way of passing down not just recipes, but a legacy of love, hospitality, and gratitude.
