Rick Stein (Presenter)
Born: January 04, 1947 in Oxfordshire
Best Known For: His expertise with fish dishes.
Early-life: Born in Oxfordshire on January 4, 1947. He went to catering college and then travelled the world. He worked on a German cargo ship and an Australian railway before returning to read English at New College, Oxford. He later moved to Padstow, where he had spent many childhood holidays. Stein opened a nightclub in the Cornish town in 1974, but soon transformed it into a cafe, then a restaurant, and went on to specialise in seafood cooking.
Career: In 1984, Stein's The Seafood Restaurant was voted Egon Ronay Restaurant of the Year. As his star continued to rise, close friend Keith Floyd put his name forward as a natural for TV. Stein became a popular presenter with a number of cookery series for the BBC including Rick Stein's Taste of the Sea, Fruits of the Sea, Food Heroes, and French Odyssey. His last culinary tour involved a trip to Spain and was broadcast in 2011. He has also found time to present a documentary on novelist Daphne du Maurier and acted as a contributor on Grumpy Old Men.
Quote: "Chefs are paying far too much attention to novel ideas and not nearly enough to the basic quality of the ingredients."
Trivia: Stein owns four restaurants in Padstow, as well as various other ventures. His impact on the local economy is such that the town has reportedly been nicknamed 'Padstein'.
