Rick
Stein's Guide to the Food Heroes of Britain
In
this companion volume to the second Food Heroes television series,
Rick Stein has compiled a directory of the best food producers,
suppliers and retailers in Great Britain and Ireland. The criteria
for entry are based on the quality of the produce, assessed by personal
testing and experience. The book sets out to encourage readers to
explore the small-scale side of food production.
With
over 1000 entries divided into nine chapters by food type, the suppliers
are arranged alphabetically within each chapter by location. Entries
show whether suppliers offer direct sales, mail order or internet
service and those using local ingredients or traditional methods
are highlighted along with any special awards or accreditations.
In each chapter Rick has also included a selection of 'super heroes',
producers who he feels are truly outstanding in terms of the quality
of the goods they supply.
Complete
with a comprehensive map section so that you can locate all of the
suppliers listed, Rick Stein's Guide to the Food Heroes of Britain
is an extremely personal selection from one of Britain's most trusted
authorities on food and will appeal to anyone who is interested
in sourcing the very best ingredients.
Inspired by the new series of Food Heroes, Rick Stein's Fine Food,
containing over 100 new recipes, will also be published by Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Books
in February 2004.
Rick
Stein and his wife Jill own The Seafood Restaurant in Padstow, which,
every year, attracts thousands of fish lovers from Britain and abroad.
They also run the highly acclaimed Padstow Seafood School. Rick
has written many bestselling cookery books - his most recent fish
cookbook, Rick Stein's Seafood, has quickly become the acknowledged
reference book on the subject. Food Heroes, which accompanied the
first series of the same name, was a major bestseller in autumn
2002.
