Pies & Tarts

This stunning cookbook contains 100 mouth-watering recipes for pies and tarts, themed by size: individual tartlets and handheld pies, medium ones for lunch and dinner, and big, celebratory pies for larger gatherings. Pies and tarts can be guilty pleasures, crowd pleasers, seasonal winners and heroes of the picnic or lunchbox. It's impossible to think of an autumnal lunch without apple pie, a summer feast without a glorious berry tart, or a birthday without a showstopping chocolate tart. These classics, given a contemporary spin, sit happily alongside recipes for empanadas, lattice-topped pies, slumps, and galettes. There are sweet and savoury recipes for every season, and ideas for super decorative pastry-work, as popularised on Instagram. The book also includes pastry-making tips and tricks, and building-block recipes for a variety of doughs and crusts, to help get you started.
