And indeed she is helping many to open their imagination by showing her approach to gourmet, yet very simple, cooking methods and recipes. Rose is very pragmatic in the kitchen and demonstrates to audiences how to make one cooking session provide the base for the whole week… Rose also gives many tips about creative freedom in the kitchen, using whatever is available in the fridge and pantry. The demonstration includes an overview about shopping for gluten free ingredients and hidden gluten. Then it's on to the cooking and baking of savory snacks and main meals… Participants will sample the dishes throughout the presentation.
