By day, Eileen Francisco is a mum of two boys and marketing officer. At night she is an artist, songwriter and occasionally performs under Midnight â a musical alter ego formed after a year of lockdowns, heartache, and grief. As a way to process complex emotions, Eileen spent many nights in front of the piano and Midnight was born in 2021.

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 customersâwho have become friendsâto talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. âFoods 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,â 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 CuarĂłn, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafeâs 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.
