Beginner's Pluck: Rosanne Hewitt-Cromwell

Rosanne inherited a love of baking from her mother. After college, she worked in the fashion industry, in fashion retail management, until 2011, when she accepted redundancy. Meanwhile, her husband Jay was out at college three nights a week, leaving Rosanne alone and bored.

“My mother died before I was 21. Baking helped me to remember her. Then two years ago, after reading a lot of blogs, I decided blogging would be a good way to keep track of my baking and to reference things. I write as if I was talking to friends and telling them stories. I had a call from a literary agent; I put a proposal together, and we got a deal.”
