Baking

Who can resist the shiny golden crust of a pie, both savoury and sweet? Think of meat pies with their tender chunks of meat in an aromatic gravy. Or seafood pies, creamy and rich. Vegetable and cheese pie, egg pies (and tarts), they're all here. In the sweet pies chapter there are fruit pies u apple, berry, peach, plus chocolate tarts, custard-based tarts and nut-filled tarts. There's also information on making simple pastry and how to use it, blindbaking, storing pastry, both homemade and storebought. In short, everything you need to know about pies.
