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.
