Resident Spotlight - The "Tastes of Malhar" group | Rosemary Dean

Rosemary Dean, a resident of Malhar Resonance comes from a heritage of good cooking. Her family as well as that of her husband’s are amazing in the kitchen. She probably channels all that expertise into every serving that she makes. Her foray into food started many years ago when Malhar did not have restaurants and delivery services. They started with potlucks which evolved into people who had tasted her food telling her to get onto Foody Buddy. Since there were not many who were doing meat dishes, she did so, and there was no looking back. She was then called upon to do birthday parties and other get-togethers. During the time when a new family would move in to Malhar, they would want to know where they could get food from for the next few days, and Rose’s name would come up amongst the other 3 or 4 popular cooks in the community. To her, this is an element of bonding, and welcoming a new family into the fold. Once she was actually called upon by a friend to cook for her family that were internationally multicultural, spanning almost five different nations - each with different tastes and spice levels. She did so with gusto, and the best reward was the family eagerly asking her what would be next on the menu. There have been days when people ordered for a single dish and instead of them just walking away, Rose has invited them in (total strangers at times) to dine with her family. Today, despite restaurants, delivery services and multiple other options opening up, Rose’s menu is still in demand with people consistently asking her when is she going to put up a dish. What touches Rose the most is the love and appreciation that she receives from the Malhar community. The genuine outpourings are what keeps her spirits high. Her kitchen has opened up doors into people’s hearts and souls.
