Paul Hollywoods Pies and Puds Hardback C&c

There is nothing quite like the smell of a scrumptious steak and ale pie cooking in the oven. There perhaps isn’t anything better than the first taste of a caramel and coffee éclair. From Britain’s favourite expert baker comes a mouth-watering book about two of our nation’s obsessions: pies and puddings.

As seen on the BBC's increasingly popular Great British Bake Off, Paul Hollywood puts his signature twist on the traditional classics, with easy-to-follow, foolproof and tantalising recipes. From meat and potato pie, pork, apple and cider pie, lamb kidney and rosemary suet pudding, sausage plait and luxury fish pie.

He will show you how to create inventive dishes such as chicken and chorizo empanadas, chilli beef cornbread pies and savoury choux buns. And if that isn’t enough, here you will find his recipe for the Queen of puddings, as well as spiced plum pizza, chocolate volcanoes and apple and Wensleydale pie. There are also regional recipes like Yorkshire curd tart and the Bedfordshire clanger, and a step-by-step guide to all the classic doughs from rich shortcrust to choux pastry.

Paul Hollywood’s Pies and Puds is simply a must-have. Whether you’re a sweet or a savoury person, a keen novice or an expert baker, it’s time to get baking pies and puds!
