An amazing new cookbook from Britain's favourite TV chef, exploring the many and varied cuisines of the Med.
Rick Stein's passion for using good quality local produce and his talent for creating delicious flavour combinations 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 best-selling cookery books, including French Odyssey, Coast to Coast, Far Eastern Odyssey and Spain. Rick is a firm supporter of sustainable farming and fishing techniques, which he strives to maintain in Padstow, Cornwall, where he runs four acclaimed restaurants and a seafood cookery school, as well as a delicatessen and patisserie. In 2003 Rick was awarded an OBE for services to West Country tourism. He divides his time between Padstow and Australia, where he opened a restaurant, Rick Stein at Bannister's, in 2009.
His repertoire of recipe books, restaurants and television
programmes - not to mention an inexhaustible knowledge and
infectious passion on the subject - have all helped him bring fish
to the culinary forefront in the UK.

For me he is the nonpareil telly chef because he always makes me
drool like a slobberhound...Stein is like a plateful of smoked
haddock, poached egg and mashed potatoes, a combination that is
both unbeatably satisfying and fun.

An antipasti antidote to the greasy chips and soggy anorak of an
excuse for summer that we've had to put with, every page of this
book is a ray of sunshine. Beautiful photographs of bell towers in
Corfu and Corsican coastlines will make you wish you were born the
child of a peasant fisherman, while the food will make make you
rejoice for your KitchenAid mixer and that Global knife collection.
Packed full of mouth-watering delights like Sicilian rice balls
with ham, peas, saffron and provolone cheese, grilled stuffed
mussels from Catalonia and a decent pudding section, featuring
Moroccan orange salad and a fabulous chocolate and ricotta tart,
this book will transport you to where the living is easy and the
cooking is simple and hearty. The summer you wished you'd had - in
hardback.
