Rick Stein’s latest culinary adventure - Long Weekends


BBC Books - $65.00 - Hardback

In Rick Stein’s latest culinary adventure he embarks on a series of weekends in search of good food, lovely wine and brilliant recipes.

In his new book, Rick Stein’s Long Weekends, Rick inspires in two ways: as a travel guide, to go out and discover these wonderful places yourself, but equally to make time to have a long weekend at home to cook for family and friends. The recipes are divided by day of the weekend — quick and easy for a Friday night supper — Mussels with Bayonne ham to Danish Fish Frikadeller with remoulade; substantial Saturday brunches and lunches — Huevos a la Flamenca to Constantinople artichoke stew; some substantial Saturday evening entertaining including — Halibut Soup with cream, apple and dill to Cote de Boeuf and Meringue with zabaglione semi fredo, followed by Sunday lunch and dinners — Squid Souvlaki and Navarin of lamb. And no weekend would be complete without some coffee and teatime treats – Pateis de nata to Berliner Doughnuts.
Rick Stein’s Long Weekends will accompany the second half of the BBC TV series on Prime, screening dates yet to be announced in NZ.

The book includes stunning location photography from around Europe, following in Rick’s footsteps.

Rick Stein’s passion for using good-quality local produce and his talent for creating delicious flavour combinations in his books and restaurants have won him a host of awards, accolades and fans. As well as presenting a number of television series, he has published many best-selling cookery books, including French Odyssey, Coast to Coast, Far Eastern Odyssey, Rick Stein’s Spain and Rick Stein’s India.
