In Good Company: Paris Rosina
The Queen of Suet Mansion
In Good Company features friends of our agency - not clients - who we admire within the world of food, and who we think you should know more about.
It’s been a big month for Paris Rosina. She was the cover star of OFM’s 30 Things We Love in the World of Food, she was featured in American Vogue talking about the women who helped shape her culinary voice, and she created a spectacular dinner for 16Arlington at London Fashion Week.
Paris likes to say her food is like your grandmother’s, but far sexier, and though this is true, the simplicity of this statement does her genius a disservice. Paris cooks with creativity; she adds decadent twists to retro classics and combines flavours and textures in novel ways, like nobody else.
Paris is a born feeder, she hosts dinners in her home under Come to My House I’ll Make You Fat, and has recently launched her Substack with her world-building brand Suet Mansion. Stay updated with all of Paris’ creations through Suet Mansion and on Instagram for daily dispatches from her life in and around the kitchen.
We asked Paris to answer some of our silly and sincere questions. We hope you enjoy reading her responses below.
Tell us, where are you right now?
Lying on my bed, on top of the covers. My laptop’s out, the contents of my make up bag are strewn around me, and I’m just having a brief lie down between errands.
What food item(s) are you loving most at the moment?
Potatoes, frozen peas and bergamot. Also, I make myself a juice every day and save the pulp for sauces or smoothies. It’s very rock and roll.
Where are you planning to travel to next?
I just got back from Paris, and I’m going to New York in April.
What's your favourite food book?
He Died with a Felafel in his Hand by John Birmingham. I struggle with favourites but this I loved.
Where do you most want a booking?
I want to stay at the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel, in a suite ideally, and I want to dine at China Tang at the Dorchester. A date was going to take me once, but they cancelled, so anyone please feel free to step in.
Where's your best hidden gem, anywhere in the world?
This place is pretty hidden so I hope only a few people will visit as I wouldn’t want it to be ruined – but I’ll share it with you…
It’s a butcher in Tuscany (decorated with lots of pig stuffed toys) and a restaurant round the corner called L'Arsenale Agriristoro attached, that runs lunch during the day with very casual, humble Tuscan courses. I had visited the butcher before on a trip to learn how to make Italian sausages when I first started at The Dusty Knuckle, and the last time I went, I befriended some older people at the local bar. None of us could communicate without Google Translate but we spent many lunches, nights out, and even a festival together. I dream of returning soon.
Snog, marry, avoid: bread, rice, pasta?
Marry rice, snog potatoes, BYE BREAD.
More from us soon. Love, GB&C
