ROSE GRAY RUTH ROGERS — River Cafe Cookbook Two

UK, Ebury Press. 1997. Hardcover with dust jacket, 25cm. Book, 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 well as 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 Rose's 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 Rose's cooking has taken since their first book. Over 200 completely new recipies illustrated and presented - a must both for those who enjoy the delights of cooking. 352 clean well bound pp profusely illustrated. Pkd weight about 1500g , Excellent/Very Good.
