A SPRIG OF ROSEMARIE, a journey of culinary memories and recipes

103pp., colour illus., paperback, Cape Town, 2021

"The book is the culmination of three decades in food – working in multiple spheres – restaurants, hotels, catering, events and food tourism. Saunders hails from the UK and received hotel and catering qualifications in Birmingham. In the early 70s, on her way to Australia she did a pit stop in South Africa. Cape Town captivated her and she stayed. She had an illustrious career, working in five star hotels and in the corporate catering sector. When she started a family, she gave cookery lessons from her home kitchen and launched a catering business. This evolved into event management, food and wine tours to France, cookery books, food supplies to farm stalls and contracts to cater and teach in foreign parts of the world. ... Family recipes, a surrogate granny, delicious food and tasty memories make up a book that will hook you and inspire you to new dinner menus that will bring warm accolades and your own memories.  Live. Love. Cook.” Robyn Cohen, TheCapeRobyn
