Q&A with Chef Herve

Q: What do you enjoy most about working at Rosewood?

A: I enjoy the happiness, surprises, satisfaction and kind words I hear from our residents.

Q: How would you describe your cooking style?

A: I love to combine many cultures from the south of France and therefore create a diverse culinary environment which is a reflection of my food from the rich Mediterranean earth.

Q: What’s your favorite item on the menu?

A: My favorite menu items are the most recent additions of the Kansas-style pork shanks, paella Espana and veal in white sauce. However, I love the made-to-order action station items such as the steak salad, pasta and stir fry as well as the bananas foster.

Q: What do you like to cook at home?

A: I like to barbecue a lot which is fast, easy and tasty. I also enjoy making homemade soups, garlic bread and pasta.

Q: What’s a tip or technique you use in the kitchen that people may not know about?

A: If you are looking to cut a lot of cherry tomatoes in half at one time, put them between two inverted plastic lids or plates and run the knife through the center. Voila!
