ROSE GRAY

28th January 1939 - 28 February 2010

In memory of Rose who died this week and with whom we have close family connections (Charles Pullan is married to Rose's daughter Lucy), we will be featuring several dishes from the latest River Cafe Cookbook from Thursday of this week.
Many of you will remember the two hugely popular River Cafe dinners we had at the Griffin some years ago with both Rose, and Ruth Rogers, in the kitchen.
