Rosemary Shrager's new crime novel set in Yorkshire
The words ‘cosy crime novel’ have been used to describe Rosemary Shrager’s new book, The Proof in the Pudding.'I hate the term and I’ll tell you why,' she states with characteristic candour.
Following the publication of The Last Supper last year, The Proof in the Pudding is her second work of fiction. Not only did her mother’s family hail 'from Scarborough way,' but she ran a cookery school at Swinton Park, Masham, until a few years ago. Shrager then moved back to the capital and worked under Pierre Koffmann at the Michelin star restaurant, La Tante Clare, in Chelsea.'Being a chef isn’t for the fainthearted, especially a female chef. You have to stand up to these rather chauvinistic young men. It’s changed now and there are a lot more women, but the hours are still ridiculous, there is very little social life, but it is also very rewarding- and it is fun. If you love it, you have got to do it,' says Shrager.
'I was desperate to be on television. Maybe I’m a show-off, but I don’t think so. It’s not to do with ego, I just love performing. It’s why I love travelling about and doing cooking demonstrations. I just come alive when I’ve got a camera in front of me.' Shrager is now focusing on her third crime novel, which will be based in Cornwall, the online cooking tutorials that emerged out of lockdown, as well as continued appearances on TV and at festivals. She is also having a hoot on the Lunch and Laughs tour where she and other female celebrities shares stories over a glass of fizz.
