Description

From the iconic Pork Pie to the little-known Buckinghamshire Bacon Badger, in this delicious new book, Calum Franklin gives British pies the appreciation they deserve.

Focusing on pastries across the British Isles, The Modern Pie Maker includes 80 recipes showcasing Chef Calum's contemporary takes on classic, deep-rooted traditional pies. The humble pie is one of the oldest forms of British cooking, and every region, or even town, has their specialties. Chef Calum takes us through the history of each of these beloved pies, their origins and nuances, and gives updated, elevated recipes for modern home cooking.

Expect to see:
- Stargazy Pie
- Homity Pie
- Macaroni Pie
- Balti Pie
- Norfolk Plough Pudding
- Forfar Bridies
- Welsh Oggie

and many more

As well as a full range of sauces and sides, and not forgetting sweet pies, plus the secrets to show-stopping decoration and making the perfect pastry, these are pies you'll come back to time and again.
