About Rick Stein's Cookery Course:

‘I’ve been cooking at home and as a chef for the last 60 years, in the early days just copying my parents’ simple British dishes, then making every type of seafood dish at the restaurant as well as recipes from my travels all round the world. I’ve learned a few things along the way – and made some mistakes. This book is a chance to share what I now know about cooking, from the simplest processes like scrambled eggs to boning a chicken or making a soufflé or a beef Wellington and everything in between.'
