Talking food

Rosemary is a talented and versatile chef who loves talking about food as much as she loves cooking. 2005 saw her broadcast career span the Atlantic with her first series for US Broadcaster Discovery Home – Rosemary – Queen of the Kitchen. This was coupled with her series for Channel 4 – Mind Your Manners and, of course, ITV1’s prime time show Ladett.

Rosemary’s six part series, Rosemary – Castle Cook for Five led to a second series, Rosemary on the Road. Rosemary has worked on a number of television projects including an eight part contribution to the Carlton TV series Nosh.

Her first cookery book, Rosemary – Castle Cook was described by food writer Michael Raffael as “an object lesson in handling the finest produce”. Her second book Rosemary Shrager’s School for Cooks was published to accompany the series and her latest with another Rosemary Shrager’s Absolutely Foolproof Classic Home Cooking as well as Food for Family and Friends following soon after. Rosemary Shrager’s Yorkshire Breakfasts was published in October 2011. Her latest cookery book – Rosemary Shrager’s Cookery Course is available now as well as her two fabulous cosy crime novels – The Last Supper and The Proof in the Pudding!
