The River Cafe Look Book: Recipes for Kids of all Ages
Fifty-plus recipes from London's River Cafe, adapted for cooks who've never held a paring knife with any real confidence — the same Michelin-starred kitchen that trained a generation of chefs, scaled down to teach the next one how to make pesto without a recipe card in sight. Smashed broad bean bruschetta, fusilli with zucchini, a simple lemon tart.
The photography does something wonderfully strange: it pairs each dish against an object from the world around it — a bowl of pasta set beside a vase of drooping tulips, petals starting to fall the same way flour dusts a counter. It's part cookbook, part visual essay. Written by Ruth Rogers with Sian Wyn Owen and Joseph Trivelli, River Cafe's co-head chefs for over two decades.
Dimensions: 246mm x 189mm; 240 pages

About the Brand
Phaidon has spent over a hundred years making the kind of books people actually keep on the coffee table instead of the shelf — the ones you flip through with a drink in hand and end up reading cover to cover anyway. They work directly with the chefs, architects, and artists making the thing, not just people writing about it from the sidelines, which is probably why their cookbooks make you hungry and their design books make you want to redo your whole house.
