We’ve previously waxed lyrical about the Rose Bakery book, Breakfast, Lunch, Tea and their perfect quiche recipe (see our post here) so we were super excited to hear about the launch of the latest book, How to Boil an Egg. 84 recipes with eggs, from chocolate orange muffins to spinach and ricotta gnocchi, it is written by Rose Garrarini, co-founder of Rose Bakery, with drawings by the botanical artist Fiona Strickland. The first Rose Bakery, an Anglo-French café/restaurant, opened in Paris in 2002, followed by several other branches and then, oh joy, a branch at Dover Street Market here in London (Rose is sister-in-law to Comme des Garcon founder, Rei Kawakubo who asked her to take over the top floor). Our top tip if you’re planning a visit is to try and avoid peak lunchtimes and don’t miss the delicious carrot cake! Oh and here’s a video interview of Rose too.
