River Cottage Great Pies

Find out more about our latest book!

The golden crust of a warming pie… The flaky first bite into a Cornish pasty… The soft, moreish encasing of a suet pudding… Pastry is the key to the comforting, homely dishes that we all know and love.

In River Cottage Great Pies, Gelf Alderson gives every home cook the tools to reach the heights of pastry greatness with 80 achievable, delicious recipes for every occasion.

With a foundational chapter to build your confidence in the kitchen and core recipes for the most popular pastries – including shortcrust, puff and rough puff, hot water, filo, suet, choux and sweet pastries – these will become the basis for your pastry-laden masterpieces. And if you don't have time to make pastry from scratch, don't despair – all the recipes are just as achievable and delicious with shop-bought varieties too.

The chapters that follow give you every kind of pie you could ever hope for, including Veggie Pies, Open Pies and Tarts, Saucy Pies, Raised Pies, Pasties and Sweet Stuff.
