Rick has written 16 cookery books, recorded several cookery series and five one off documentaries.
His passion is still for seafood; as he says, “nothing is more exhilarating than fresh fish simply cooked".
Rick owns and runs four restaurants in the small Cornish fishing village of Padstow with his ex-wife, Jill.
We have been honoured to host some of the following guest chefs at Ballymaloe Cookery School over the years.
