Have you ever been in a situation where you may have talked too much and wish you had kept silent? Yeah, me too...
“Silence isn’t empty. It’s full of answers.”
In a world that rewards noise - talking, posting, performing - silence feels awkward, even threatening. But silence isn’t absence; it’s presence. It’s the space between the notes that makes the music. It’s where ideas are born, peace is restored, and clarity fin...
Have you ever been on a roll, in the zone, and things are just clickin' for you? Yeah, me too...

Do you ever get tired of all the loud, negative, depressing news and attitudes that hit you constantly? Yeah, me too...

Have you ever had FAITH in something and when it was tested, you found out the truth? Yeah, me too...
Faith is one of those words we use easily - faith in people, faith in God, faith in leaders, faith in ourselves. But let’s ask the uncomfortable question: is untested faith really faith at all?

Do you remember in the old westerns when the good guys wore WHITE HATS and the bad guys wore BLACK HATS? Yeah, me too...

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.
