In this solo episodes Nicoleta explores the relationship between bereavement and happiness.

Sharing her own experience of a very close family member sudden death, Nicoleta takes you through a number of very important questions:

How do you  move through the shock of a dear person's death?

What it means to lose someone fairly young?

How it feels to find someone you just met died unexpectedly?

What kills us young these post-modern times?

How is bereavement experienced these days and what is its impact on our lives?

Why does grief close us to happiness?  And how do we open up to joy and aliveness again?

Nicoleta asks also a number of existential questions:

Why did that person live?

What was that scope and purpose of that life?

Was it to create something at a physical level and leave behind in the world?

Was it to allow another person to come to life?

Was it to save another person from a hard life?

Was it to take care of others?

Was it to experience something and learn some lessons themselves?

Or perhaps to help others experience something and learn some lessons from them?

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
