An excerpt from Rosamund’s first book, Caribbean & African Cookery – Foreword by Maya Angelou, who wrote –
“When Rosamund Grant invites us to join her Caribbean feasts, we can almost hear reggae, sitar and Spanish music in the background. Here at her table are the influences of Africa, India, Spain, France and Portugal. We are offered painless lessons in healthful eating and are asked only to bring open minds and expectant palates. I like this kind of writing and I like this kind of invitation. I accept”. M.A.
In 2001, Rosamund’s oral history was recorded as part of the British Library’s National Life Stories Collection; Food: From Source to Salespoint’. Currently and during Lockdown, she has been volunteering in her local community, producing weekly hot meals for charities and food banks.
