Format:Hardcover
The River Cafe is a chic place to eat delicious and earthy food on the wharfs of London. The modernist design of the restaurant is in contrast with the simplicity and heartiness of the food. The recipes in this book are terrific, simple and unusual. The appetizers and pastas are particularly excellent. Try the grilled calamari served on arugula with a hot pepper vinaigrette. It's a signature dish of the restuarant and has become a favorite in our own kitchen. I hear that some of the cake recipes are hard to execute in US kitchens, but who cares about cakes when the other offerings are so delectable? By the way, the restaurant is always booked weeks in advance, but you can get a table if you're willing to arrive at 7:00 p.m. and release the table by 9:00 p.m.

i'm a total fan
9 Jan 2001
Format:Hardcover
My boyfriend and I are good cooks and food mavens who nonetheless don't cook a lot. We know from great food and the recipes in this book are superb. In no other book have I ever found recipes which consistently yielded such high--i.e., restaurant-quality--results. Another great thing is the fact that many of these recipes don't require a lot of expensive/hard-to-find ingredients. We cooked out of this cookbook and its sequel, these two books alone, for a year and a half. Then we visited the restaurant in London, which is sublime--but that is another story.

Same as R&G Italian Country
10 May 2004
Format:Hardcover
Be aware that this book is exactly the same as Rogers and Gray Italian Country, also published Random House.
The cover is different and the name is different, but the books (including the formatting) are exactly the same.
