Review

They [Hairy Bikers] know their pies... This is a comprehensive book with notes on ingredients and techniques that are great for beginners (METRO )

There are more than 140 drool-inducing recipes bubbling out of this book like steaming filling escaping through a gap in the pastry. Not only are the recipes easy to follow and delicious they also enjoy a garnish of Si and Dave's humour and nostalgic musings for good measure. (BBC COUNTRYFILE 20120101)

There's nothing quite so comforting as a really well-made pie. From classic favourites to new combinations, the BBC's Hairy Bikers have got it covered. (Sally Hughes BBC GOOD FOOD 20120101)

This cheerful collection of recipes includes double crust, open tarts, raised pies and sweet pies. (Vanessa Berridge DAILY EXPRESS 20111216)

Even if you're not a cookery fan, the pair's enthusiasm for unpretentious, tasty, filling foodmakes for feel-good viewing, and that enthusiasm shines through the pages of Perfect Pies. (CARAVAN CLUB MAGAZINE 20120101)

The definitive Pie Bible from the Kings of Pie. (WESTERN MORNING NEWS 20111119)

This beautifully illustrated book brings together the British classic in 150 new recipes... the Hairy Bikers will inspire you to coo and share the mighty dish with the ones you love. (Press & Journal (Highland & Islands) 20111128)

This beautifully illustrated cookbook features an extraordinary range of pies, both sweet and savoury. (LYTHAM ST ANNES EXPRESS 20121129)

A bible of the pie-maker's art, including sweet and savoury fillings, classic flavours and contemporary twists, plus tips for turning out the perfect crust (BBC GOOD FOOD MAGAZINE )

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Pies indeed 22 Nov 2011
By S. Pearson
Format:Hardcover
I have never bought a Hairy Bikers cookbook before, and as I find their television presence most annoying (Dude?! At their age?!) I was more than hesitant when it came to purchasing this book. At under a tenner, I thought it was probably worth a punt, and I am so glad I made my purchase. The book is beautifully presented (I think I'm correct in saying that every recipe is accompanied by an opposing full page photograph), and the recipes are easy to follow and surprisingly diverse. The book does not limit itself to just the standard pie, but gives recipes for various sweet options, flans, tarts, quiches, various types of pastry, large pies and finger foods, suet puddings, side dishes, things to do with your left over scraps of pastry, a satisfying amount of vegetarian options... I could go on, but short of listing every recipe in the book, I couldn't convey its amazing breadth. I have attempted both the 'Deep-filled Chicken and Mushroom Pie' on page 15, and the 'Pear, Walnut and Dolcelatte Tarts' on page 131, and while I consider myself a reasonably confident cook, I was surprised with just how professional and delicious the results were. Finally, I would happily cook and eat each and every recipe in this book; a remarkable statement, and one that I can't make for any other cookbook on my shelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth it! 5 Jan 2012
By korrokakita
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
For the price, I was expecting something a lot more...modest...than this hefty tome! I bought it as a present for my Dutch boyfriend, who was curious about pies (you can't really get them in the Netherlands) and wanted to try making some. The book is very thick, high quality with great illustrations.

The recipes section contains tons of ideas for pies, pasties, tarts, and there are a couple of less pie-y pastry recipes in the mix too (like gyozas and baklava). The recipes are well laid out, although lacking in an overall cooking time, which would be helpful. We've made a bunch of recipes from the book now and they were easy to follow - and tasty!

Particularly useful is the section at the back (though...would have made more sense to be at the front) with basics on making pies and pastry. Even if you think you know what you're doing, it's still worth a read for some of the hints and tips that I am sure most home cooks will learn from.

You certainly can't go wrong with this book for this price. Everyone (who likes pies) should add it to their shelf!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for pie lovers 28 Nov 2011
By Tamaartje
Format:Hardcover
I was a bit hesitant to buy this book, as I own about 12 cookbooks on baking already. Because of the price and my love for the Hairy Bikers :-D decided to buy it anyway (can always gift it to someone else) and am glad I did. There isn't a recipe in there I wouldn't like to try and thankfully they have chosen pie in the broadest sense of the term (although this seems to bother some reviewers)the book is extremely divers.
Actually I have very little to add about the recipe content that hasn't been said in the other reviews already, reading the ones from 'gadget girl "wifi"' and "xxshowponyxx" together about cover it all.

It's a beautiful book to flip through. Great pictures, easy lay-out, clear recipes. Very good index, with both recipe names and ingredients. I've tried 3 recipes so far (all of them savoury) and they all turned out excellent, except there is no salt in their short crust pastry, that might be a matter of personal taste, but I really think it needs it.
There is also a good balance between easy every day recipes and elaborate special occasion recipes and a little surprising coming from the bikers, there are also a fair number of recipes that don't require 3 trips to the gym to recover from :-)
