River Cafe Cookbook #2 River Cafe Cookbook #2, ISBN 9780091864194 and books by Rose Gray, Ruth Rogers on sale at thebookshelf.co.nz The first River Cafe Cook Book was a publishing phenomenon, winning both the Glenfiddich Food Book of the Year and the BCA Illustrated Book of the Year Awards. As wellas the innovative, striking design of the book, the appeal also lies in the exquisite simplicity of its food. A sophisticated re–interpretation of the cucina rustica or farmhouse cooking of northern Italy, the food of the River Cafe relies on good quality, fresh, seasonal produce. Ruth and Roses direct, uncomplecated approach means that many of the dishes are strikingly simple–fish, meat and vegetables are chargrilled, pan–fried and baked–but all of them are vibrant with flavour. This new book retains the essential style of The River Cafe while reflecting the new directions Ruth and Roses cooking has taken since their first book, meat is less prominent, for example, while vegetables and vegatarian cooking have become more important, new techniquies, such as wood–roasting are featured, always with advice on how the results can be achieved in a domestic oven. With over 200 completely new recipies, illustrated and presented in the first book, River Cafe Cook Book 2 will be a must both for the many people who loved the first volume and for those who have yet to discover the delights of cooking. About the AuthorRuth Rogers is the American–born wife of architect Richard Rogers. Rose Gray ran the kitchen at Nells Club in New York before joining Ruth Rogers to launch the River Cafe. Together they have made the River Cafe one of the most respected restaurants in the world and have trained many of the new generation of star chefs, from Samuel and Samantha Clark to Jamie Oliver.
