Why did Rose start doing what she does?

You know the old saying, “Necessity is the mother of invention”?
Rose had a mother who loved to bake—but not cook.
So Rose and her 5 siblings took up the slack.
And they became pretty darn good at it.
Fast forward to her college years:
Rose earned her BA in Theatre at Southern Illinois University/Carbondale. And her MFA in Theatre Design/Costume at the U. of Michigan.
Hey. We know what you’re thinking:
What does theatre have to do with food?
Well, look at it this way:
Creativity. Art. Design. Showmanship. Presentation.
Production. Communication. Coordination. Collaboration.
All talents and skills that transfer to food styling.
Which is why Rose is comfortable wherever she cooks.
A photographer’s studio.
A TV set.
Or in live cooking demonstrations.
It’s Food as Art as Food as Art.
And it’s Rose as Impresario—all the way.
