River Cafe Easy Kochbuch

by Rose Gray, Ruth Rogers

A major new event in cookbook publishing from London’s famed River Café restaurant duo.

Any new River Café book is a major event — but River Café Cook Book Easy will take the cooking world by storm. Recognizing that people lead busy and demanding lives, Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers have made their innovative recipes even more accessible to time-challenged lovers of great food.

The key to quick cooking is often in the availability of the ingredients. These recipes put fresh produce at the top of the shopping list, and highlight the ingredients that are pantry essentials. Ruth and Rose then take us through the simple steps for preparing great dishes bursting with flavour and style. To complement this new concept, the book has a fresh, dynamic design and over 100 colour photographs to delight fans, new and old.

Like River Café’s most famous graduate, Jamie Oliver, we can learn the secrets of cooking fabulous food — only now this book makes it even easier. River Café Cook Book Easy looks set to be the most successful title yet.

About the author

Rose Gray was a celebrated British chef and cookery writer, best known for co-founding The River Café in 1987 with Ruth Rogers. The restaurant, which earned a Michelin star in 1998, became a launchpad for a generation of chefs, including Jamie Oliver, Theo Randall, and April Bloomfield. Rose’s influence on the culinary world was immense, with many of her protégés citing her as a key mentor.
Along with Ruth, she authored several cookbooks, including The River Café Cookbook and River Café Green, which have become classics in Italian cuisine. Gray also shared her love for Italian food with a broader audience through the 1998 Channel 4 series The Italian Kitchen.
Her career was not just defined by her cooking, but by her charitable work as well. Gray became a Breast Cancer Ambassador after her own diagnosis and co-founded the Cooks in Schools charity. She spent part of her life in Tuscany, where her passion for authentic Italian food truly flourished.
Rose’s legacy lives on through her cookbooks, the many chefs she mentored, and the River Café, which continues to be a symbol of culinary excellence.
