Rick Stein says: “Touring the country with a show sounds really grown up, like being in a band on tour – ‘Oh it’s Liverpool, it must be Saturday’, sort of thing. I’ve discovered of late that I love talking about my life to a live audience. I’ve got lots of stories which people seem to really enjoy: like why my nightclub got closed down in the 70’s, what was Keith Floyd really like, what the Dalai Lama knew about cooking and why a pint at 5.29pm is so important.”
As a self-taught chef his story is one of perseverance and passion. From humble beginnings to the pinnacle of culinary success – with over 25 cookery books, 30 TV programmes including 12 cookery series, 10 restaurants and several hotels – Rick Stein is one of the country’s most well-known and best-loved chefs. An Evening with Rick Stein will explore his career, how he established his thriving restaurant business with no prior experience and his journey to becoming a national institution.
