A sophisticated re-interpretation of the cucina rustica or farmhouse cooking of northern Italy, the food of THE RIVER CAFE' relies on good quality, fresh, seasonal produce - plus authentic Italian ingredients such as polenta, buffalo mozzarella and extra virgin olive oil. The emphasis is very much on the type of cooking found in Italian homes rather than restaurants. Ruth and Rose's direct, uncomplicated approach means that many of the dishes are strikingly simple - fish, meat and vegetables are chargrilled, pan-fried and baked - but all of them, from the Tuscan bread soup Ribollita to main dishes such as Manzo in Tegame( Braised Beef Fillet) and Maiale al Latte(Pork Cooked in Milk) are vibrant with flavour, In addition, there are numerous recipes for Italian-inspired desserts, such as Zabaglione Ice Cream, Almond and Lemon Cake, and Grilled Peaches with Amaretto.

The River Cafe Classic Italian Cookbook, 5 Oct 2009

E. Richardson (London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The River Cafe Classic Italian Cookbook (Hardcover)

When I first looked through this cookbook I immediately got that Italian feeling - the photographs are stunning and just reading a few of the anecdotes put me in the mood to cook. I had a dinner party on the weekend and chose all the dishes from this book - and it was a huge hit - everything tasted delicious and all my guests raved about it! I served Swiss chard malfatti, sea bass baked in salt and grape foccaccia which was still warm from the oven - yum! Can't wait to try out all the other recipes.

Delicious and authentic, 5 Oct 2009

B. Stewart - See all my reviews

This review is from: The River Cafe Classic Italian Cookbook (Hardcover)

This is the real Italy, from an eating point of view. The photos bring you as close to the food and people as possible without being there, not to mention being very helpful in knowing how a dish ought to look. Each recipe is situated in its local context, often connected to friends and real individuals the authors have come to know during their frequent trips. It also contains tons of useful tips on what ingredients to buy to get authentic flavour. So far I have made the pork chops with cannellini beans and the pasta with anchovies - both were simple and as delicious as my memories of Italy. If you have to buy one of the River Cafe cookery books, or one Italian cookery book, for that matter, this is definitely the one!

The Best from The River Cafe!, 5 Oct 2009

kobe8 (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The River Cafe Classic Italian Cookbook (Hardcover)

First of all, this is an incredibly beautiful book. The photographs of the food, Italy, the people and the two
authors Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers that accompany the recipes are great. I've already cooked a few of the dishes and
what you see is what you get.
I've got all the River Cafe books and this is the best because it puts you in Italy side by side with the cooks, the vintners, the
restaurant owners, the farmers and cheese-makers.
It's amazingly easy to use - the recipes are clear and uncomplicated. If you stay true to Rose and Ruthie's ingredients you can't
go wrong.
