If it's not on a ranch, range could refer to a "range oven" making it a play-on-words.

What is Romain's occupation? A handy man?
From the term, it seems like he's capable of doing a wide variety of things, at a high standard at that.

大草原が自宅で感じ

It's a reference to an old American folk song, "Home on the Range" which was later that title of several films. The "range" is an expanse where animals roam.

I didn't notice this was an interview about cooking so obviously it's talking about a range oven and means an experienced cook.
