Rick Stein's Food Stories

A lunchtime talk and signing with one of our favourite food heroes.

Rick Stein is back with a major new BBC TV series and book, Rick Stein’s Food Stories, a celebration of the

best of British food and the way we eat now.

‘Over my 55-year career, I’ve seen British cuisine transform. What we have now is an amalgam of our own rich

repertoire of dishes, and the food and flavours of so many different cultures from the people who have made

Britain their home – from meat and two veg to Pad Thai noodles. We have today what I believe is one of the most

exciting cuisines in the world’ Rick Stein

Rick Stein’s Food Stories is a glorious collection of new classic recipes that celebrate the flavours, ingredients,
and stories of modern Britain. Rick travels every region of the British Isles to include not only traditional favourites such as Bangers and champ with red wine gravy, a classic fish pie or Tattie scones with smoked salmon but also his twist on new dishes that have become part of our national cuisine like Kubo pork belly adobo, Arroz roja, Paneer jalfrezi and Chicken Katsu Curry.

With stunning food and location photography throughout, Rick Stein’s Food Stories is also a delicious and inspiring journey through Britain’s joyous and ever-changing food scene, shining a spotlight on talented food heroes from all over the country, from food growers and producers to immigrant home cooks and iconoclastic young chefs.

Rick Stein's passion for using good-quality local produce and his talent for creating delicious recipes in his books and restaurants have won him a host of awards, accolades and fans. As well as presenting a number of television series, he has published many bestselling cookery books, including French Odyssey, Coast to Coast, Far Eastern Odyssey, Rick Stein's Long Weekends, Rick Stein’s India and most recently Rick Stein’s Simple Suppers.
