Paul hollywood's pies and puds, hardcover/paul hollywood

There is nothing quite like the smell of a scrumptious steak and ale pie cooking in the oven.

There perhaps isnt anything better than the first taste of a caramel and coffee eclair.

From Britains favourite expert baker comes a mouth-watering new book about two of our nations obsessions: pies and puddings.

Paul Hollywood puts his signature twist on the traditional classics, with easy-to-follow, foolproof and tantalising recipes for 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.

If that isnt 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 Hollywoods Pies and Puds is simply a must-have.

Whether youre a sweet or a savoury person, a keen novice or an expert baker: its time to get baking pies and puds.
