Rick Stein

Rick Stein is one of the most respected chefs in the world, has presented numerous TV cookery series and documentaries, written best-selling cookery books and owns restaurants of world renown in Cornwall (UK) as well as in Australia. 

Rick’s passion for fresh food has taken him from continent to continent, across magnificent shorelines in search of the very best produce the world has to offer.  Now his love of food and travel brings him to New Zealand with a special, limited season tour: Rick Stein’s Food Odyssey.

The show reflects Rick’s enthusiasm, giving audiences the unique opportunity to see a master in action as he and guest chefs prepare an array of dishes, from fishy favourites in Cornwall to vibrant and colourful Mediterranean cuisine, onwards to the light spicy flavours of South-East Asia and culminating in a unique New Zealand dish.  All the while Rick will bring his travels to life captivating the audience with stories and footage from his TV series.

Rick Stein will be joined on stage by co-presenter Mark Sainsbury. “I’ve got a few passions in life, one of which is food, and if you get the opportunity to hang out with one of the world’s greatest chefs you want it to be Rick Stein,” enthused Mr Sainsbury. “I met Rick last year, interviewed him, saw him in action in the kitchen and now I get to join him on the theatre stage… it doesn’t get any better.”

“You’ve got to love Rick Stein. Unlike every other TV chef, he’s got no gimmicks, he doesn’t swear and he doesn’t slag off other telly cooks.”
Scottish Daily Record
