Rick Stein
Rick Stein was born in the Cotswolds in Oxfordshire in 1947, Rick’s family moved to Padstow in 1965 so introducing him to the splendours of the local seafood. In the meantime he read English Literature at Oxford University.
Besides having written 9 popular cookbooks, Rick Stein has made six BBC TV cooking series, which have gone down very well internationally, particularly in Australia and New Zealand.
His passion is still for seafood; as he says, “nothing is more exhilarating than fresh fish simply cooked”. It is the daily bounty of local fishermen of perfectly fresh fish which is the reason for the success of Rick’s Seafood Restaurant in Padstow, Cornwall.
Since opening 28 years ago, it has grown from a small harbour-side bistro to one of the best-known restaurants in the UK with 32 airy guest bedrooms. In addition Rick and his wife Jill have two smaller restaurants, St Petroc’s Bistro and Rick Stein’s Café both featuring plenty of fresh seafood. There’s a seafood deli, patisserie, gift shop, and perhaps, most excitingly, the Padstow Seafood School overlooking the Camel Estuary on which Padstow stands.
Rick was awarded an OBE in the 2003 New Year Honours list for services to West Country Tourism, testament to the rising popularity of Padstow and Cornwall as a holiday destination. Rick is currently filming the second series of Rick Stein’s Food Heroes, a journey around Britain celebrating artisan food producers who value flavour and quality above profits.
