Tania Bearsley has recently returned to Aotearoa New Zealand after living in the UK for 15 years. A connector of people who enjoys helping individuals and businesses to achieve their goals through introductions, Tania was, until recently, KEA New Zealand’s Regional Director for UK and Europe. Following a career in hotels, catering and events, Tania volunteered her time as President of The New Zealand Society (UK) 2013-2015, produced colouring books for adults, and has recently been involved as research lead for Dream Catchers, a broadcast interview series which tells the stories of inspiring Kiwis in the UK. In February this year she was named the Air New Zealand UK New Zealander of the Year 2020, in recognition at her leadership of the Trafalgar Square peace vigil in the UK following the Christchurch mosque shootings.

"What I love about connecting people is that there is nothing quite like the power of putting two great minds together. Sometimes a year or two on from that initial nucleus of a connection, ends up this amazing story of a business transaction that was enabled, or a friendship that was born, or a new idea or collaboration that came together. It's all about engineering serendipity."

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.
