This is one of the best cookery books I have seen in a long time. The book is a celebration of pies for all those who like to indulge, and should encourage those who think pies are one of the more difficult culinary adventures. The recipes are varied - from the staple pie to the more exotic, and are well set out and easy to follow. From its imaginative front cover, to witty back cover image, the photos are excellent. Food porn at its best!

I bought this book for my 12yr old son for Christmas (OK, I admit, I wanted it really), along with some cooking supplies (baking tin, pastry brush, blackbird pie vent, ceramic weights, flour shaker). I wasn't sure from his bemused reaction if he was going to ever try the book out but, the following week he announced he was going to make a pie, so, when a friend came round I had two 12 year olds make a fantastic pie (chicken, leek and tarragon, but we left out the tarragon). Total success and a real confidence booster for them! They were delighted with the results and I learnt how to make really good rich short crust pastry in the process. This is a fabulous book for man, woman and child. Kids and the very hopeless will need a bit of supervision but everyone will enjoy the results.

I was round at my brothers house yesterday and saw he got this book for xmas - i sat down with it for about an hour - read all about the history of pies.
There are also very usefeul guides to making all the different types of pastry you would ever need (i didnt realise there were so many!) plus loads of tasty recipies - some for the more traditional - beef and ale - and others a little different - chorizo and pepper - fish and cider.
well it was so good it made me buy a copy and want to eat and make lots of pies!!!!

Brilliant book!
If you like pies, you'll love this book! Home made pies can be healthy, nutritious, and much lower in fat than shop bought versions. This book is the 'Pie Bible'.
