CELEBRITY chef, writer and TV presenter Rick Stein is set to make an appearance near Oswestry later this autumn.

Rick Stein CBE will talk about his latest cookbook, ‘Rick Stein’s Simple Suppers’, at an event organised by Oswestry’s Booka Bookshop.

The event on Wednesday, November 1, from 1.30pm, will hear from the famous chef at the Holroyd Community Theatre, based at Moreton Hall in Weston Rhyn, as he explains the background to his new collection of 100 "easy and delicious" recipes.

Rick said: “These are my simple suppers. Recipes that are straightforward and informal - yet effortlessly delicious. The idea of supper appealed to me because it suggests an ordinary meal.
