Evelyn Rose

Evelyn Rose MBE (2 December 1925 – 18 May 2003) was an Anglo-Jewish cookery writer. Her magnum opus on Jewish cuisine, the ''Complete International Jewish Cookbook'' was published in 1976, and has been revised three times since, most recently in 2011.

Her obituary in ''The Guardian'' described her singular accomplishment as the melding of "contemporary cooking with Jewish dietary laws, regulations that not only prohibit the use of pig meat and shellfish, but also the mixing of dairy products with meat". Evelyn Rose was also "highly aware of the changes in culinary trends, particularly the move away from the fatty foods so typical of traditional Jewish cooking ... her modern, health-conscious recipes exemplified the changes that had taken place over her long career."
