Host/Author
Trolling international department stores for the right kind of platters, napkins, and cutlery. Scouring Facebook marketplace to find the perfect table treasures. These are the spaces and places where you will find me at my happiest as I’m driven (obsessed?!) with wanting to host and honour people in my home in ways they will never, ever forget.
I consider this talent for hospitality a true gift, and for me it’s a calling.
My life-long journey of hosting people in my home, and my passion for setting an amazing atmosphere for making people feel special and comfortable and celebrated, is the driving force behind my book Practicing Hospitality.
It is a go-to manual for how to master the art and science of hosting people in your home with confidence, ease and grace — and is perfect for those who are petrified of entertaining, as well as those who love it. My book is a work of love — the culmination of a lifetime of outstanding experiences snuck between two covers — and I cannot wait to share it with you!

Rosemary as a Host
I realized, looking back, my natural knack for hosting at age 10 when I invited friends over for afternoon tea. My desire to create the most memorable experiences — and to honour others — has led me to host thousands of people in spaces ranging from homes to European villas to corporate offices.
​
This lifelong passion and journey have manifested in my book, Practicing Hospitality,
that shares the art and science of hosting at home — and is a must-have for anyone wishing to master how to invite and celebrate people in their space, with confidence and grace.

"Rosemary is an incredible host. She does not only create delicious meals but always has the objective of breaking bread. She is intentional to learn more about people to create community through hospitality. When you are blessed and invited into her home or farm, be prepared to experience a culinary creation that ensures each guest is satisfied with her yummy and classic recipes. Cheers!"

"From start to finish, being welcomed into Rosemary's home is a perfectly curated experience. If you have plans, drop them. If you have work, leave it. It is worth dropping everything else in favor of her invitation. Her space will immediately make you feel safe and so comfortable while also being dazzlingly beautiful. Every piece of furniture is both bold and feminine. Every delicious food item offered will invoke tears of gratitude. And you will leave feeling as treasured and cared for as the beautiful home she has masterfully put together!"
