I enjoy cooking and somehow got inspired to have a go at making pies. I followed a few online recipes, but spotted this book in Waterstones and had to have it. The photography, while not amazing, is inspiring enough and there is a great selection of traditional and more unusual regional UK pies.
It isn't just a recipe book, there is plenty of discussion about the history of pies, and about different types of pie, throughout. As well as some good recipes. I have tried a few of the pastry dough recipes at the beginning (because everyone has a different recipe for the perfect shortcrust, or the definitive hot water crust) and to be fair these do work pretty well. I am not going to give it five stars though, because I have since found a book called Pie Minister, which on reflection is better than this one.

Butr to my surprise the detailed recipies, ingredients and history have made this literary work a prize to behold for life.. I am a fan of pies any way and this book just serves to encourage me to continue to convert my chinese wife into the pie way of life.. Great book great value and well written.

A fab book for all those in search of the perfect pie. Loads of regional variations and little anecdotes .
I'm a accomplished amateur pie maker but this book has given me some great new ideas.
The only problem I have is how I'm going to keep below 13 stone with all theses delicious recipes to try.
Feed your pie obsession with this book.
