Her focus celebrates and helps protect Crete’s cultural and culinary heritage. The concepts of the Mediterranean Diet originated in Crete.

In this concise book, Rose shares strategies for applying the celebrated concepts of Cretan cuisine wherever you live. The book includes recipes with gorgeous photos of culinary treasures amid the magnificent landscape of the isle of Crete.
Rose has received numerous awards from National Geographic, the United Nations and many other organizations for her success in creating sustainable travel/community-based tourism and culinary projects that bring focus to the expanding inquiry into sustainability.
