Rick Stein

From bestselling cook and food writer Rick Stein, comes the iconic Simple Suppers - a joyful collection of over 100 genuinely easy and delicious recipes paired with stories that celebrate the simple things in life.

These are my simple suppers. Recipes that are straightforward and informal - yet effortlessly delicious. The idea of supper appealed to me because it suggests an ordinary meal. When one is not trying too hard; maybe something you're going to cook in your jeans and Polo shirt, a glass of vinho verde on the worktop.
