High family, secrets. Family. This is just a note of
thanks as we head into what is, for many of us,
a time of year filled with contradictions. Love, joy, gratitude, grief, rage, confusion.
Some or all of these might pay a visit. If
we're spending time with family, that can be beautiful and
(00:23):
also challenging. If we're not spending time with family, that
can bring up other kinds of complexity. For many of us,
our friends are our chosen family. Others are contending with
ailing parents, illness, divorce. But wherever we find ourselves, here
are a few things I'm pretty sure about. And these
(00:44):
are lessons I've learned from a lifetime of grappling with secrets,
of being the secret, of writing about secrets, and creating
a podcast about secrets. One there is nothing quite so
powerful as being true to ourselves. Two. If we're true
(01:05):
to ourselves, eventually we find ourselves surrounded by people who
treat us with kindness. Three. Kindness winds every single time. Four.
As a wise woman recently told me, go where it's warm,
(01:26):
she wasn't talking about the weather. Go where it's warm. Five.
Locate your gut and trust it. I have never been
led astray when I have followed my instincts. Six, you
have to get quiet in order to feel and know
what's right. Seven. There are many different kinds of secrets,
(01:51):
but perhaps the most insidious are the secrets we keep
from ourselves. As I head off for the holiday myself,
I just want to say that one of the great
gifts in my life is having created this podcast and
formed this extraordinary community. When I say family, secrets, family,
I mean it. While I was on book tour for
(02:12):
Signal Fires, I met many of you on the road.
You came up to me and told me your stories.
We laughed and we cried. We connected. And that connection,
that feeling that we are none of us alone, if
only we allow ourselves to be seen. That is everything
I love you. Stay safe and be well, and remember
(02:36):
go where it's warm.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
