Rick Stein's Far Eastern Odyssey

There is much more to Seafood Odyssey than cooking fish: it is also a fascinating cultural adventure. Setting off from Naples, where a tour of the vibrant fish market is 'pure theatre', the series also sees Rick in Goa; where fresh spices, fresh seafood and minimal cooking are the secrets of delicious meals; oyster-harvesting in Chesapeake Bay in America; plus visits to Australia and Thailand. And underlying all is his beloved Cornwall, where he cooks the recipes he brings back from his travels.

A practical guide to the wisdom of the East that shows how we can apply it to our pragmatic Western view of the world to achieve inner peace.

Rick Stein sets off on a new culinary adventure to search for France’s best-kept gastronomic secrets.
