Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Rose Gray MBE and Ruth Rogers MBE launched the River Café in 1987 and went on to achieve a worldwide reputation for their cooking. They have written several bestselling River Café cookbooks and presented The Italian Kitchen for Channel 4. Rogers has continued to run the restaurant after Gray sadly passed away in 2010, and it still holds the Michelin star that it was first awarded in 1998.

'Throughout my career, Rose and Ruth have been a complete inspiration to me. Their love of Italy - the ingredients, the dishes, the people - has never faltered and the success of the River Cafe is testament to this. Any book from them is a treat, but to have a collection of their favourite classic Italian recipes in one place is something not to be missed. They have changed the way the British people eat - here's to them both!'

Jamie Oliver


'It's hard to decide which has made the greater contribution to British food culture, Rose and Ruthie's outstanding restaurant, or their wonderful an inspiring cook books. If pushed I would plump for the latter...'

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

Aus dem Klappentext

Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers opened the legendary River Café twenty two years ago and have changed the way we cook, eat and think about Italian food.

In that time, they have travelled extensively through Italy, cooking with friends, chefs and wine makers, who have shared with them their traditional and regional classic family recipes.

The River Café Classic Italian Cook Book is Rose and Ruth's personal interpretation of these recipes, a book rich with their experiences and knowledge. The book is full of evocative photographs taken in Italy - in the homes where they have cooked and the cities, villages, vineyards, markets and shops they know so well.

All of the 200 inspiring new recipes in the book have introductions giving advice and personal suggestions to guide you through the preparation of these delicious dishes. They include memories of the places they have visited, the people they have met, stories of how and where they learned to cook, and insights into the regions, seasons, ingredients, and techniques.

The River Cafe Classic Italian Cookbook is an in-depth celebration of Italian food by two chefs who are informed, passionate and curious, and want you to be too. You will turn to it time and time again, for special occasions or everyday meals, to read as a guidebook, or for the simple pleasure of learning more about Italy and its unique culture of food.
