Rick’s Mediterranean Escapes out on DVD
'mouth-watering to watch' DAILY MIRROR
'What comes through very clearly is his passion for really traditional peasant-style food - dishes made from the freshest of ingredients cooked without any fuss or flash.' The INDEPENDENT
In this stunning series Rick explores the Mediterranean coastline and islands, savouring the flavours and simplicity of the region's wonderful cuisine.
Rick continues on his culinary journey, leaving Marseille, where his French Odyssey ended and heading for the Mediterranean coastline. Travelling by ferry and road, Rick seeks out the elements that make Mediterranean cooking so special - the local ingredients bursting with sunshine; a respect for frugality and tradition and a sophistication derived from generations of growing and cooking a few key ingredients.
From Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily and Puglia to Corfu, Mallorca and Catalonia and on to Morocco and Turkey, Rick samples traditional recipes and local delicacies, revelling in an enormous culinary mosaic full of colour, taste and smell created by Arabs, Greeks, Italians, Spanish and Turks.
Inspired by the culture, the cuisine and the landscape, Rick recreated his own delicious recipes that can be recreate at home, such as sautéed squid and chorizo salad, inspired by a visit to the Boqueria market in Barcelona; Mallorcan-style chicken with sobrasada; Sicilian fennel sausage; the traditional Moroccan dish of Kefta Mkaouara and Turkish Style flatbread, lahmacun.
