Rick Stein

Last night I was privileged to be a guest at the Rick Stein's Food Odyssey tour. He was relaxed, informative and informal. The show was a great mix of cooking technique demonstrations, clips from some of his television shows and general banter.

Rick was ably assisted, prompted and teased by his long time friend and colleague Paul Sellars. Without Paul, none of the dishes would have been complete, as Rick was continually sidetracked with storytelling. Some lucky members of the audience were able to eat the dishes made. I did not volunteer as unfortunately most dishes were not gluten free, but certainly could be modified.

Thankyou to Nathan at Blanco, for the opportunity to attend. I had a great night and recommend the show to anyone who enjoys a yarn over food, and we can all pick up a few tricks :)
