Summary

Today’s guest is Rosie Kellett, author of “In for Dinner: 101 Delicious, Affordable Recipes to Share.” Rosie stopped by the studio while she was in New York to celebrate the launch of her debut cookbook, which was inspired by her unique communal living setup in London. She and her housemates share the costs of groceries, divvy up chores, and cook for one another, creating a household where food and responsibility are equally shared. Rosie joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the rules and rewards of communal life, the inspiration behind her book, and the recipes that her housemates return to again and again. She also reflects on her early career as a playwright, her time working as a PA for actor Samantha Morton, and getting past the cringe to establish herself in the food world.
