RIVER COTTAGE GREAT PIES: PASTIES PUDS AND MORE (HB)

Pastry is a mealtime favourite with a reputation of being difficult to make. This book gives home cooks the tools they need to achieve pastry greatness. Following an introductory chapter on core pastries including shortcrust, puff, filo, suet, choux and sweet pastry, there are 80 achievable, delicious recipes for kitchen classics (quiche, beef and ale pie, River Cottage pork pie and custard tarts) and surprising sweet and savoury treats (spanakopita, chicken balti pie, and plum, raspberry and hazelnut meringue pie). A concluding chapter on sauces, gravies and custards makes this the complete pastry package.
