Christopher Richard "Rick" Stein OBE
(born 4 January 1947) is an English
chef
, restaurateur and television
presenter. He is currently the head chef and co-owner of "Rick Stein at Bannisters" at Mollymook, New South Wales
, Australia
, owns four restaurants in Padstow, a fish and chip shop in Falmouth, Cornwall and has written 11 cookery books and presented a number of television programmes.
to Eric and Dorothy Stein, and attended Uppingham School
and read English
at New College, Oxford
. When Stein was eighteen his father committed suicide
in Cornwall
after suffering from bipolar disorder
. Stein's brother is Professor John Stein who teaches and researches medicine
, and in particular dyslexia
and neurophysiology
, at Oxford University, where he is a fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford
. He also has a sister Henrietta and a half brother Jeremy who was from his mother's first marriage. Tiring of life in the city, he moved to Padstow
, Cornwall
where he had spent many childhood holidays.
cookery. His business operates four restaurants, a bistro, a cafe, a seafood delicatessen
, patisserie
shop, a gift shop and a cookery school. His impact on the local economy of Padstow is such that it has been nicknamed "Padstein" despite the phrase being openly disputed by Rick himself.
In 2008 Stein's original The Seafood Restaurant was reshaped to almost double seating capacity. Equally his fish and chip shop near the seafood school was by then doing a roaring trade, especially in the summer months.
In 2009 Stein made his first acquisition in the nearby trading village of St Merryn
, which is 3.5 miles from Padstow.
When taking over the Cornish Arms public house, which is located opposite the Church on the outskirts of St Merryn
, Stein's stated aim was to 'keep it a traditional Cornish pub'. He encouraged increased use of the skittle alley in the 'young men's field' opposite. (The 'young men's field' was left as a legacy to St Merryn
for sporting purposes only, by local St Merryn
young men, and for many years has been used for skittles for charity fundraising by locals). It remains to be seen whether visitors may be keener to try the food than the beer, now that Padstow's most famous TV celebrity chef is in the village. A sign in the entrance says "Why not try a bowl of mussels with your pint, instead of a bag of crisps", perhaps an unusual twist on the traditional Cornish pub theme, and one which illustrates that Rick Stein has stamped his brand on St Merryn
as well as Padstow
.
On 1 October 2009, Stein opened with his fiancee publicist Sarah Burns, "Rick Stein at Bannisters" in Mollymook
, on the South Coast of New South Wales
, Australia
. Rick said at the time of opening, “Ever since a memorable weekend eating Pambula
oysters and flathead in Merimbula
in the sixties, I’ve had the image of the clean blue sea and sweet seafood of the South Coast fixed in my head so when I was introduced to Mollymook about six years ago I knew that one day I would open up a restaurant celebrating local fish and shellfish but keeping it really simple. Bannisters was the relaxed seaside hotel that I was looking for, so when they asked me if I’d be interested in cooking there I jumped at the opportunity.”
As well as running his business, Stein has become a popular television presenter on food, and was often accompanied by his Jack Russell terrier
, Chalky
, who died in January 2007. Stein has written and presented a number of cookery series on BBC
television including Rick Stein's Taste of the Sea, Fruits of the Sea, Seafood Odyssey, Fresh Food, Seafood Lovers' Guide, Food Heroes, and in 2005 French Odyssey about a memorable journey down the canals of South Western France to the Mediterranean, Mediterranean Escapes. This starts where French Odyssey left off, and explores the Mediterranean coastline and islands in search of the best in the region's foods. Rick Stein's Far Eastern Odyssey, travelling around Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. His current television programme is about the cooking of Spain off the beaten track.
A book has accompanied each series, and his book English Seafood Cookery won the Glenfiddich Award for Food Book of the Year in 1989. Stein was awarded the OBE
in the 2003 New Year Honours list for services to tourism
in Cornwall.
