A call to arms to celebrate the PIE.

In their culinary homecoming, Si and Dave celebrate a dish close to their hearts. This beautifully illustrated cookbook brings together the Great British classic in 150 brand-new recipes. Featuring an extraordinary range of pies – from the sweet and savoury, deep and small and to the pies that are puddings – The Hairy Bikers will inspire you to cook and share the mighty dish with the ones you love.

With top tips on pastry, the failsafe methods, the secrets and the cheats, the boys will teach you how to choose the right type of pastry and filling for any occasion. Learn the rules of pastry making and how to add the right pickles, relishes and sauces to make your pie an unforgettable dish. And of course, how to make the most of those little left over bits and turn them into delicious cheese straws, jam tarts and turnovers.

About the Authors

His love of food was established at a young age when his father bought exotic ingredients back from his Royal Navy voyages. Hairy Bikers Si and Dave are the nation's favourite food heroes. Stars of BBC2's MUMS KNOW BEST and FOOD TOUR OF BRITAIN, they represent all that is good-hearted, down-to-earth and loved about food.
