Now that\u2019s a doorway!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We went to see Rick Stein give a talk, on his current publicity junket tour, at Ely Cathedral. He\u2019s promoting his latest book, Simple Suppers<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We got a signed and dedicated copy, as you can see, above. Everyone was required to jot down what they wanted Rick to write. I went for \u2018To Seb & Teresa, with love, fish, and poetry.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018C\u2019mon, Teresa!\u2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Teresa had popped to the loo. I had to drop back a few places in the queue, to give her time to return. And when she did she did her customary shy bit. Took a fair deal of coaxing to get her up alongside Rick and me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Here she comes\u2026 at last.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As a result of Teresa\u2019s absence\/reticence, all I got to say to Rick was \u2018thanks\u2019, as we left!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now she\u2019s arrived, I spot something\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The book looks good. And I like the basic idea: food that\u2019s quick and easy, but delicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 on Rick\u2019s noggin, by the looks of these pics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Book talks of this sort are a little odd. Especially so, to me, the greater the celebrity factor. A Nigella event we went to some years previously was, to my mind, really not my bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was better. But it still wasn\u2019t what I\u2019d call a \u2018great event\u2019. Merely just fun. But just look at Teresa\u2019s face\u2026 priceless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The book.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The cover, the photos inside, and the little mini essays, all look terrific. The cover visually equates to the idea of the book itself; simple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
