Interview with Ruth Rogers of London’s legendary River Cafe

Prince Street editor-in-chief and James Beard Award-winning writer Howie Kahn meets Ruth Rogers of London’s legendary River Cafe.
When Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray opened London's River Cafe almost 30 years ago they had more children between them than they had years of experience running a restaurant. There were additional obstacles, too: their location, in Hammersmith, was out of the way; their ingredients, all authentically Italian, were hard to get; and they didn't even have the proper permit to serve the general public. In the decades since, the River Cafe has become one of London's defining restaurants: cherished for its fresh Italian flavors, its bright design and its always-energized room. Over the years, Rogers has become a master of her trade, training other star chefs like Jamie Oliver and April Bloomfield.

Beautiful look into the RC. Extraordinary women. Fortunate to have been a regular in the early days and still my favourite food to cook. xo
