Rick Stein is one of the first chefs whose shows I started watching; and although I'm not really a seafood lover, he made me a fan of his delicious, simple and yet elegant dishes.
Rick owns a total of 7 successful restaurants (almost all of them specialize in seafood), wrote a total of 11 books and recorded so many cookery series: my absolute favorite is "Taste of the Sea".
His efforts and commitment to developing the local community in Padstow (Cornwall, England) where he opened his first business in 1974, has earned him an OBE (Order of the British Empire), and the even greater honor of the town being affectionately nicknamed "Padstein". :)
Since Rick Stein would emphatically state "Nothing is more exhilarating than fresh fish simply cooked", I would encourage you to check out his simple, delicious and nutritious Mussels recipe here.
And how could I forget the cutest dog I've ever seen?! I'm sure Mr Stein wouldn't mind me redirecting you to his website to see his adorable Jack Russell terrier "Chalky", who delighted in eating fish and chips! (You can also read about him on Wikipedia.)
Chalky sadly passed away in 2007.
Love,
The Sugar & Spice Girl
