When Richard Whiteley died in 2005, he was mourned by a nation. He had been the face of teatime television for many years. But the wordplay & wit shown on Countdown hid a tenacious political journalist who had interviewed every Prime Minister from Macmillan to Blair.

Kathryn Apanowicz went on her first date with Richard when she was seventeen. They had an on-off relationship over the years, finally living together for the last eight years before his death.

In this intimate retelling of his life & their years together, we get to see the man behind the laughter for the first time.

Rick Stein, one of the UKs most popular & respected chefs, opens your eyes to the wealth of produce available on your doorstep with his book, Rick Stein's Food Heroes.

Now available for the first time in paperback as well as hardback, this book is both an inspirational collection of recipes & a delightful celebration of British ingredients & those who create them.

Rick has always encouraged us to think carefully about the food we eat, to seek out the best-quality ingredients & to cook them simply. In his accompanying TV series he travelled around Britain, searching out the best of all British produce, from bread to beer & lamb to cheese.

The book contains over 100 recipes, including all those broadcast on BBC2.

In addition to a host of brand new recipes (including Smoked Duck Breast Salad with New Potatoes & Fresh Raspberry Tart with Hazelnut & Coconut Pastry), Rick adds his own variations on traditional dishes, such as The Definitive Welsh Rarebit.
