Welcome to Rosie’s Home Kitchen!
Hi… I’m Rosie. Welcome to Rosie’s Home Kitchen.
For a long time now celebrity chefs have shown us how they can create amazing food that we mere mortals can only dream of being able to cook. These chefs have impressed us with there skills so that we say “I’d love to be able to cook that” what I’m trying to do here at Rosies Kitchen is create food that will make you say “I can cook that”, the recipes you see on Rosies Kitchen are made in my kitchen preparing my food for my husband (Paul) and myself to eat. Many of the recipes you see are first attempts no practice sessions just using locally bought ingredients taking advatage of foods on promo and preparing food to suit the seasons. The products that are promoted here are products that I use from knives through to ovens, kitchen kit that I own and use. So enjoy Rosies Kitchen, I hope you find my website usefull, I value your input you can submit recipes to me to be posted in my guest spot. Or just send messages questions or opinions all are welcome.
