🎙 Plant & Grow 🌱
🍁🌱 A Thanksgiving Seed
Thanksgiving isn’t just about full plates 🦃🍽️
it’s about roots the kind we grow on purpose 🌾
The soil remembers every hand that turned it 🤲
every hope tucked beneath chilly November ground 🍂
Some seasons feed us 🥕
Some seasons stretch us 🌿
And hunger?
It’s not always a rumble in the stomach
sometimes it’s the deep ache to become
who we’re meant to be 🌱✨
In backyards and borrowed plots 🏙️🪴
growth insists on showing up
even where concrete thought it had the last word.
One seed can feed a home 🌰🏡
One tree can shade generations 🌳👨👩👧👦
And one hungry heart
can shift a broken system,
starting right where it stands 💪🌍
So this Thanksgiving 🍁
as we pass the mashed potatoes and gratitude 🥔❤️
may we plant new stories too
for the selves we’re becoming
and the gardens waiting to rise 🌷🙌

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.
