The number of vegetarians in the UK has grown ever since, from a few hundred thousand, to around 4 million.^[3]

She also supports Compassion In World Farming, and OXFAM for whom she has written three best-selling books to raise funds.

Her grandmother Grace Cooke was the founder of the spiritualist group White Eagle Lodge. As a member of the family, and vegetarian from the age of three, Rose began cooking vegetarian food at the White Eagle Lodge Retreat Centre "New Lands". She enthusiastically rose to the challenge and created new recipes. Her food was so popular that her recipes were much in demand. This led to her producing a small booklet for the White Eagle Lodge charity. A few publicity copies went out, including to The Times. Rave reviews led to orders from bookshops, launching her career as a cookery writer.^[5]

Inspired by her late mother Joan Hodgson, Rose became interested in Astrology as age 13, dedicating her book Life Cycles to her. For 5 years she also wrote "a weekly astrological column for Woman’s Realm, one of Britain's leading women's magazines, and for Here’s Health and She. With her husband, Robert, she developed a computer based service "Rose Elliot Horoscopes."^[6] Rose Elliot was awarded the diploma of the Faculty of Astrological Studies (DFAstrolS) and joined the Astrological Association when she was 19, and in 2005 she became a Fellow of The Association of Professional Astrologers International (APAI).
