Jack Stein - Accidentally Deleting Rick Stein's Cookbook, Working As A KP At 12 Years Old & Running Britain's Most Famous Seafood Empire
About this episode
Jack Stein shares his experiences growing up in a culinary family and leading a famous seafood empire.
What was it really like growing up as Rick Stein's son? This week we're joined by Jack Stein for one of our favourite conversations yet. From washing pots aged 12 and accidentally deleting his dad's first cookbook, to training in Paris, Sydney and Japan before returning to help lead one of Britain's most iconic restaurant groups, Jack tells the stories you've never heard before. We dive into the reality of family businesses, the pressures of carrying one of the biggest names in British food, why Michelin stars were never his obsession, and the lessons he brought back from some of the world's greatest kitchens. Along the way there are hilarious tales of Wimbledon, Padstow, kitchen disasters, late-night bowling, and the drink he'd choose every single time.
