People of Note - Rosemarie Saunders

Loading player...
A ‘Sprig of Rosemarie’ is an unusual cookery book as each recipe connects with a memorable story of my cooking career.

Savour the likes of the classic Coq au Vin or titillate your guests with Florentine Nutty Tart or whip up a batch of Jonah’s Gingers for a teatime treat, whatever recipe you try it will be a winner. Elegant or homespun, within these covers are a lifetime of magical meals that are in themselves a memoir. With their beautiful photographs and the accompanying stories that make you laugh out loud, you will turn the pages in anticipation of the next adventure.

From prepping in hangars, restoring power or ducking under garden sprinklers – I’ve seen it all. Making a plan is my mantra, even if it does means sending legs of lamb to friends in the French countryside to be cooked in their home ovens when the power tripped: there is a solution for everything. As with all good parties the guests sometimes overindulge – whether it be the vodka trip while playing bridge or a g-string floating in the pool after a wedding – slightly saucy but for ever discreet.
