River Café – Alle Rezepte

Ruth Rogers was born in 1948 in the United States. She studied design before opening the River Café on the banks of the Thames in London in 1987, together with Rose Gray. Since then, she has exclusively cooked Italian dishes for her guests, using high-quality, market-fresh ingredients. In their restaurant, the two head chefs trained a number of successful chefs, including Jamie Oliver, April Bloomfield, and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. In 1995, the River Café Cookbook was published, the first of six cookbooks authored by her. Since 1998, the River Café has held a Michelin star. Ruth Rogers has been running the restaurant alone since the death of Rose Gray in 2010. She has been married to architect Richard Rogers since 1973.
