River Cafe Pocket Books: Pasta and Ravioli

Ruth and Rose’s love and understanding of traditional Italian food has made the River Café a much-loved restaurant, and nowhere is their passion more evident than in their pasta dishes — and here are 100 recipes to try!

Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray created the Michelin-starred River Cafe in 1987 and wrote their first book, The River Cafe Cookbook, in 1995. It was a game-changing Italian cookery manual and a global bestseller, which they followed with several more bestselling cookbooks. In 2010, shortly before Rose's death, they were appointed MBE. Many of the new generation of renowned chefs, such as April Bloomfield, Samuel and Samantha Clark and Jamie Oliver, began their careers in the kitchens of the River Cafe.
