We’re back with another episode, discussing the joys and curiosities of life after leaving ultra-orthodox Judaism. In this episode we catch up with each other (and with you!) about where we’ve been since our last episode aired. We take you through hospital delivery rooms, Sukahs attached to walls, jellyfish in the Guinness beer plant, and the cuddliest, sweetest step Sol took in his After Life journey.

They may not serve beer in hell, but the After Life is full of new foods with complicated names to confuse even for the most avid shopper at Pomegranate. In this episode we reflect on the experiences we had with food since we made our last blessing, all the money we saved with the dollar menu, and why convenience is a dish best served cold and often.

    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.
