 From Che to Chef: The Beginning

Rose’s love for cooking stems from growing up in Cameroon with her mother. From a youthful age, she would watch her cook with fresh, organic vegetables straight from the farm that she’d miraculously turn into delectable meals. Since then, her passion and curiosity for cooking has grown daily. Her quest to continuously push the limits on what is possible with food motivated her to enroll in and graduate from the culinary institute, FreshLo, where she was able to get exposure to a wide range of dishes from all around the world. Now, her mission, and joy, are to share that inspiration with each person she serves. She wants to serve her food, create a wonderful environment, and be a great host.
