I love Rick Stein's shows until his smarmy son turns up.

It's a decent show to be fair.

Rick’s shows are informative in that he shows each step of a recipe allowing people to re- relate it at home unlike many food shows.

Ironic how a non chef (Keith Floyd) visited another non chef’s restaurant and interviewed a young Rick Stein and how years later Rick copied Keith’s TV success of travel and food cooked by non chef (you only have to watch his chopping “skills” to see he isn’t a chef.

Nearly sliced his finger off in one episode.

Remember it well. Slicing garlic on a mandolin. I have to look away when any chef uses one of them things.

Keith Floyd is one of my big hero's. If you haven't read it his autobiography is brilliant. Although self taught he was a very good cook and many big, decorated "chefs" confirmed he was actually very good at refined haut cuisine. It was just his favoured style of cooking was rustic, one pot stuff. 

As a business man he was absolutely terrible but his shows were wonderful and his drinking tales absolutely legendary.

I'm not a fan generally of cooking shows and his fish and chips from Padstow are turd but his tours of Cornwall and France on tv recently have been as close as I've got to holiday escapism. Driving around some of the most beautiful areas of France, eating fantastic food and chuffing top quality wines......what a way to earn a living.

+1

Very underrated cook. Brilliant showman. Some decent books as well!

Stein born and grew up not a million miles from where I did. In Chiping Norton (Chippy).
Always liked his TV shows.

Spot on. The shows are a decent watch
