Rick Stein's Long Weekends
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Hardcover
Overview:
To accompany the major BBC Two series, Rick Stein's Long Weekends presents a mouthwatering collection of over 100 recipes drawn from ten European cities. This hardcover cookbook is built for home cooks who love the idea of turning weekend moments into memorable meals, whether you’re feeding a crowd or indulging in a solo foodie feast. The book offers a vibrant tour of flavors, from Friday night quick wins to weekend brunch delights, with dishes that capture the essence of each city’s culinary voice. Expect approachable methods, comforting textures, and bright, travel-inspired profiles that make you feel as if you’ve wandered through markets and seaside towns across Europe—without leaving your kitchen. From Icelandic breaded lamb chops that spark a weekend supper to Huevos a la Flamenca that brightens a Saturday brunch, and Viennese Tafelspitz that shines at Sunday lunch, this collection invites both everyday cooking and entertaining with confidence. Classic Portuguese custard tarts and Berliner Doughnuts appear as celebratory treats, completing a weekend’s delicious arc and offering a curated experience that’s as satisfying to cook as it is to eat. This is more than a cookbook; it’s a passport to a weekend of flavor.

With ten European cities represented, the book offers a cohesive journey through regional ingredients, techniques, and traditions, all presented with the meticulous balance of accessibility and kitchen-tested reliability that Rick Stein fans expect. The result is a collection that feels intimate and aspirational at once—every page encouraging you to try something new while delivering the comfort of a well-loved weekend.
