RICK STEIN IN LA RIOJA





Rick Stein's Spain


Driving his camper van, which he describes as his Rocinante, Rick Stein embarks on a culinary journey laced with history, literature and stunning photography through Spain. In the next video, Rick Stein visits La Rioja, where he samples lamb chops cooked over vine trimmimgs and accompanied by superb red wine.







"I've wanted to make a series in Spain for a long time.  I love Spanish food, I've been going there since I was a young boy - but until quite recently I don't think people really took the food seriously.  French and Italian cooking was felt to have more finesse.  Thanks to a handful of really dedicated Spanish chefs and a growing enthusiasm for its rugged flavours, that has all begun to change.  No one cooks fish with more respect or grills meat better.

To me the underlying point of journeying to Spain would be to discover the ‘duende' in the cooking.  By that I mean a sense of soul, of authenticity.  The word is normally used for the soul of flamenco but I think it could be equally applied to the art of Spanish cooking because to my mind, in really good food, there is a communication between the cook and diner that amounts to art." Rick Stein

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

There is a very strong tradition to make New Year Resolutions on January 1st. This is done to give away old bad habits and adopt better ones.
Some of the most popular New Year resolutions include weight reduction, giving up smoking, junk food and being punctual.
Although many people fail to keep their resolutions a week after New Year's Day, the importance of making a fresh New Year's Day resolution every year is still the same.
