Editorial Review of The River Cafe Cook Book
Customer Reviews of The River Cafe Cook Book
Customer Rating:
Review Summary: Great food, poor writing.
Review: My first impression, having bought this book, was enthusiasm. All these great recipes, great ideas. But as I read through the recipes I found the lack of advice and explanation disapointing. I re-read the instructions for jointing a chicken about four times, and I still don't understand them. Why not illustrate the steps for something like this?

Review Summary: This is the most outstanding cook book ever!
Review: I agree with the other reviewer - the Winter Minestrone is fabulous - but so are all the other soups - the Sardinian fennel in Book 2 - and the stocks are so simple to make, yet taste SO GOOD! The vegetable recipes are a yum, the meat and poultry superb and the desserts, delicious! Absolutely brilliant. Try their Estate Olive Oils too!

Review Summary: absolutely fabulous darlings!
Review: Despite the embarassing associations of this book - polenta eating, virgin olive oil drizzling Southern yuppies - when you get past these understandable feeling and pick one up, you will have bought one of the best cookbooks you will ever own. The chicken stuffed with mascarpone and rosemary is a favourite, but most of the recipes are incredible. Use the ingredients you can get hold of and don't use the amounts suggested if they seem ridiculous - and you are confident.This book improved our cooking 100%. Buy it, you won't regret it.

Review Summary: Do try it if you are not a skilled cook!!!
Review: This a is a lovely cookbook to read with colourful photos. It can give you an idea about what you can find in River Cafe. A lot of the recipes are just for those who have mastered the cooking technique to try. You need to adject the recipe with you experience, even the cooking time.

Review Summary: Italian food like you've never tasted before
Review: Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray's The River Cafe Cook Book and the follow-up River Cafe Cook Book Two changed my life. The recipes are easy to follow and yield consistently sensational results. After the first bite of their Panzanella--Tuscan summer salad--you'll think you're in heaven. And the Winter Minestrone--sublime. It's better (and a whole lot cheaper) than a holiday in Tuscany!

Anyway, I came away wondering if I should have got Jamie Oliver instead.
