ⓘ About Rick Stein
Rick Stein is an English chef and television personality that has written over a dozen books about food. Stein owns multiple restaurants. Stein’s father was a very charismatic man. His intelligence and charm always stood out. However, Stein doesn’t believe he ever saw those sides of his father, though he doesn’t necessarily blame the man. Stein believes that his father expended so much energy out in the world trying to charm the people he met that by the time he came back home, he had nothing left to give to his children. The author believes that their strained relationship nurtured his depressive attitude, not to mention the low self-esteem that plagued him for so long. Because Stein never felt wanted as a child, he believes he was driven to try and overcompensate as an adult.
