Lisa Vanderpump, businesswoman, producer, philanthropist, and arguably the most successful housewife to come out of the Bravo franchise, invites readers into her world with a cookbook showing how to cook and live like a Vanderpump with both glamour and style.
Millions of Lisa Vanderpump's fans know her from the enviable life she leads on her eponymous shows Vanderpump Rules and Vanderpump Villa and formerly the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Now, in her first cookbook, Lisa invites them into her home to share how she cooks family meals, entertains, hosts holiday dinners, mixes cocktails for guests, and more. Lisa's approach is low effort and high reward. She shows how to whip up a four-course meal from scratch and dress up a store-bought cake for dessert. She bakes cookies with her grandsons and treats for her dogs. She makes life a little bit easier (and more welcoming) by keeping some easy make-ahead appetizers and drinks on hand for when guests stop by.
Home at Villa Rosa is an inside look into Lisa's world, including her British heritage and the influence of her grandmothers, which informs how she cooks even today. Cleverly organized into thematic sections, readers will access 70 of Lisa's favorite recipes, including the tea cakes she learned from her sister-in-law, a chef in the royal household; the riding sandwich she makes for her husband Ken; the cocktails made famous on Vanderpump Rules; and the desserts she serves at Christmastime. It's a unique and revealing look into what makes Lisa the most glamorous, successful, and relatable Bravo-lebrity yet and shows how anyone can cook like a Vanderpump.
Businesswoman, TV personality, and philanthropist Lisa Vanderpump hails from London, England. Along with her husband Ken Todd, Lisa has been a major force in the restaurant and nightclub industry for more than 30 years, owning several successful restaurants, including SUR, TomTom, WOLF by Vanderpump in Lake Tahoe and Arizona, Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace, Vanderpump à Paris at the Paris Hotel, and Pinky's By Vanderpump in the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, and many others worldwide. Lisa will open The Vanderpump Hotel with Caesars Entertainment on the Las Vegas Strip in 2026.
Lisa rose to fame on the hit Bravo series The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and executive produces the popular spin-offs Vanderpump Rules, Vanderpump Dogs, and more recently, The Valley. Lisa's most recent hit show, Vanderpump Villa, airs on Hulu. Lisa's unique blend of glamour and down-to-earth style has captivated audiences. Beyond television, her brand extends to Vanderpump Wines & Spirits, her design company Vanderpump Alain, a line of flowers with Kroger called Vanderpump Blooms, and her pet accessory line Vanderpump Pets.
Lisa's most passionate endeavor is her philanthropic work.

A steadfast advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, she has been a spokesperson for The Trevor Project and worked with organizations like GLAAD, as well as being awarded Ally of the Year by Equality California.
