Hi

I’m Rose Wilde — chef, writer, and author of Bread and Roses (Norton/Countryman Press, 2023), with a new cookbook on the way from Chronicle. I grew up in Ecuador in a big, loud, beautiful family and have traveled, lived and cooked my way across the world — from Tibet to Morocco to LA. Formerly a human rights lawyer, now a Master Food Preserver, Master Gardener, and devoted chicken wrangler.

I bake with whole grains and botanicals, and cook produce-forward, herb-rich, acid-heavy comfort food with a global soul that blends inspirations, honors cultures and tells stories. Here, I share recipes and musings from my kitchen to yours. Expect a global perspective, seasonal obsessions, and plenty of joy.

This is a bimonthly-ish newsletter 💌🌍 with tons of free and paid content — so everyone has a seat at the table. Food pros: you can expense it.

Subscribers get:

• Recipes & Garden Tips: From my Michelin-level kitchen experience to your home — seasonal, wholesome, and delicious, with easy steps, photos, and dispatches from my LA garden (plus Bear my son, Blue, and the chickens).

• Roundups: The best things living rent-free in my brain — cookbooks, music, podcasts, travel, and places to eat.

• Extras: Ingredient guides, kitchen discounts, and updates on what I’m working on, reading, and dreaming up next.

Order Bread and Roses wherever books are sold.

Come hungry — there’s a lot to eat.
