    In this week's episode of Ruthie's Table 4, we're delving into the archives again, ahead of our return for series 4 in October.

    Adwoa's parents have been part of the River Cafe family since we opened 37 years ago. Five years later Adwoa was born, and was soon sat in the River Cafe as a child, eating pasta, butter and cheese. Now we're here, talking about her life as one of the most successful models in the world, mental health, and of course, food.
