Hi, I’m Rosemary.

You’ll find me in the kitchen, a lot!

My Kindergarten teacher once said, “Rosemary, today you need to play somewhere other than the kitchen”. That was a sad day…..now my kitchen and clients’ kitchens are my playgrounds!

As a test kitchen professional, I create recipes for CPG brands, develop flavor profiles and new concepts for product innovation, and test and write product preparation directions. Trained in recipe development for the home cook, my clients include Sun-Maid, Kikkoman, Idaho Potato Commission, Basic American Foods, Safeway, and many more.

My approach is “really good recipes for regular cooks”: easily achievable recipes and products, designed to encourage trial and repeat purchase. My recipes are crafted with attention to current trends and consumer appeal, to be intriguing but not intimidating, and healthful when appropriate to the product.

My professional affiliations include:

IACP-International Association of Culinary professionals

San Francisco Professional Food Society. President (2015-16),
2018 Lifetime Achievement Recipient.

Rosemary

For wanna-be-bakers and my regular bread bakers! You know that ‘holey’ grail of just right dough for the perfect crumb?
As @kenforkish says in his book Flour Water Salt Yeast, ‘Baking is a craft that makes you want to do it again and again, trying various flours..techniques…or simply following the same procedure but trying to do it better. …Repetition is part of the pleasure….a warming satisfaction ...’ 
That says it for me, how about you?

Quick and simple, three steps to Apple Crisp:

Dice apples or stone fruit into small pieces, enough to fill the number of individual serving dishes you want to make.
Top fruit with 3-4 tablespoons granola.
Microwave on high power for 3 minutes. (Microwave cook times vary). 
Turn the dishes around after 2 minutes if you’d like to give it extra attention.
Tips:

Add a sprinkling of raisins or other small diced dried fruit
Dust with cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger if you please
Add additional minutes in the microwave as needed until fruit is soft when checked with tip of a sharp knife. More dishes baked together may need longer bake time.
Serve with sweetened whipped cream and/or vanilla ice cream.

The cake is probably the most perfectly written cake recipe I’ve ever read — thanks to dear Flo Braker who is greatly missed in our baking world, though her cookbooks live on. Her Buttermilk Cake and Classic White Cakes are in her book The Art of Perfect Baking which you can find on-line or in libraries. I think Flo wouldn’t mind me sharing her recipe. She was a most generous baking friend.
