President Abraham Lincoln, when meeting Harriet Beecher Stowe for the first time was reported to have said to her, with a twinkle in his eyes: “So you’re the little lady who started this great war.”
And she did, writing the first million-plus selling American novel—UNCLE TOM'S CABIN—about a kind and Christ-like slave named “Tom,” the novel showing graphically the brutalities of slavery during the harsh days of the Fugitive Slave Act, the years running up the American Civil War, a period that nearly saw the destruction of our country.
Our hero, Harriet Beecher Stowe and her novel had a powerful influence upon the conscience of America. The novel’s historical impact grabbed a sleeping nation and shook it awake, helping start a war that would not only unite America and make it stronger, but more so, end the institution of slavery once and for all.

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.
