Meet the Chef: Rose Ludwig
Chef Rose has been with Royal Oaks since January 2017. Previously, she was an instructor at Le Cordon Bleu in Los Angeles and she earned her culinary degree at Johnson and Wales University.
Q: What do you enjoy most about working at Royal Oaks?
A: The thing I enjoy the most is interacting with the residents and hearing their comments about the food. It’s an experience you rarely get at restaurants.

Q: How would you describe your cooking style?
A: My cooking style leans toward classic French cuisine and American comfort foods, but I also love cooking Mexican, Italian and Mediterranean cuisine.

Q: What’s your favorite item on the menu?
A: My favorite item on the menu is the meatloaf. It’s American comfort food at its best, especially when we serve it with mashed potatoes and gravy.

Q: What do you like to cook at home?
A: Honestly, I don’t cook at home all that much, but when I do it’s usually something like vegetable soup with veggies from the farmer’s market. I buy so many when I shop there!

Q: What’s a tip or technique you use in the kitchen that people may not know about?
A: Mise en place. It’s a French kitchen term that means everything in its place—have everything ready to go before you begin cooking and it makes the process so much easier and more organized.
