'River Cafe Cook Book Easy' is a fun book to flick through and get ideas from. Written by Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers, it is full of deliciously simple dishes to cook and be inspired by. After the success of their first book, they did well to continue with the same vibe and remain so cool and timeless. If you have never eaten at The River Cafe, I urge you to book a table. Yes, it is expensive, but the quality of food, wine, and service will stay with you forever. It may even change you as a person. It did me.

There are far too many great dishes here to mention, but a few I will. The pea and spring onion pasta is just bloody brilliant and so easy, as are roasted sardines with cherry tomatoes and olives. Another I must mention is the guinea fowl with fennel, I adore the combination. This is fabulous, no-fuss cooking, well laid out, easy, few ingredients. Go and buy this book, and do use it. You will thank me.
