Hey, I'm Rose, Food Blogger, Content Creator, Entrepreneur, & I'm So Glad You're Here

Me, In a Nutshell

Let me introduce myself so you can get to know the girl behind the recipes a little better!

I make healthy cooking at home easy for you, so that your confidence in the kitchen translates to all aspects of your life. My mission is to inspire a healthy lifestyle by promoting balance, food freedom, and intuitive cooking and eating.

I’m a self-taught home cook, but my professional ‘chef journey’ began in 2018 when I spontaneously applied for a chef’s position on sailing yachts in Split, Croatia. That became my summer job for 4 years, giving me hands-on catering experience cooking for 10-12 charter guests per week on the water. Learn more about me here 👇.

The Good Eats By Rose Mission

My mission is not only to provide healthy food inspiration but also to encourage a lifestyle that values balance, authenticity, and conscious choices. I aim to help you embrace a happy, healthy way of living while making food fun, easy, and approachable to everyone.

I strongly believe that health and nutrition are naturally intuitive – that we all have the ability to intuitively choose foods that make us feel our best without the need to obsessively track, calorie count, or follow restrictive diets.

I believe in a holistic approach to cooking and wellness – one that focuses on creating meals that nourish the body, mind, and soul. Cooking with intention and using whole, natural ingredients wherever possible ensures the food you prepare contributes to your overall well-being.

Holistic cooking emphasizes balance, mindfulness, and the connection between what we eat and how we feel. In this way, food becomes a tool for healing, enjoyment, and vitality. I want to help you cultivate a deeper relationship with food that supports a healthier, more harmonious lifestyle.

My Story...

I’m a food-loving gal (duh💁🏼‍♀️) born and raised in North Vancouver, Canada. I’ve always taken an interest in cooking from a young age, though I never imagined it would become my career until much later in life. In 2016, as a second year university student looking for a creative outlet, Good Eats By Rose was born! Of course, Instagram looked a lot different back then, and the food you see on my page today is much different than the food I used to post😆 – but hey, we all start somewhere! Speaking of…

In 2018, I spontaneously applied for a chefs position on sailing yachts in Croatia with The Yacht Week – despite having ✨absolutely zero✨ professional chef experience. The delusion was real, let me tell you. I practiced cooking in my university house to prepare for the week-long academy I had to attend to interview for the job, and somehow, I got hired! That role ended up being a pivotal time in my life, as I spent 4 summers gaining hands-on experience cooking for 10-12 guests onboard small sailing yachts (think tiny boat kitchens and no dishwasher). It was a wild ride, and I am so grateful I experienced it at a young age.

Fast forward to 2022 – I retired from my sailing chef career and moved to South Africa with the love of my life! And don’t worry, I didn’t just up and move with someone I had just met – we’ve been together since 2019 (yes, we met on the yachts). Knowing my passion was in food and then living in a whole new country – I wondered what I could do for work at the time. That’s when I started posting video content on my Instagram page, Good Eats By Rose – and truly, the rest is history!
