A fabulous celebratory cookbook of Rick and Jill Stein's legendary Cornish seafood restaurant.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Featuring 50 signature recipes covering five decades, with evocative photography and tales of life at the quayside's edge of seafood cookery, this is a glorious celebration of a world-famous Cornish restaurant from the legendary chef and television icon, Rick Stein, and his ex-wife and business partner, Jill Stein.

Rick and Jill Stein's legendary seafood restaurant first opened its doors in Padstow in Cornwall in 1975 and has been setting the standards for cooking delicious fish dishes ever since.

A glorious celebration of half a century of excellence through signature recipes, evocative images, and charming tales of a family restaurant, this book is a worthy testament to a remarkable Cornish hospitality legend.

Fifty signature seafood recipes - with a few classic desserts - sit proudly at the heart of the book, covering the very best from over five decades of hospitality excellence.

Ten signature recipes from each decade show how a classic dish never dates when the star of the show is always the freshly caught fish, simply cooked and delicious to eat.

Evocative photography and fond memories, spanning the half-century of the restaurant's existence at the quayside in Padstow, contribute to a must-have cookbook for all lovers of Rick Stein and The Seafood Restaurant Cookbook.
