Publisher Description
'If you think that Julie Jones's beautiful creations are beyond you, think again. This is as clear and approachable a cookbook as you could wish for. Jones shares all her tips and tricks as she gently walks you through ten different pastries and gorgeous recipes for sweet and savoury pies and tarts. It's worth buying the book for the chicken and chorizo pie recipe alone. Absolutely inspiring.' Diana Henry

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Those looking for pastry making inspiration will appreciate this comprehensive and visually stunning debut. British baker Jones begins with a primer on "Pastry Recipes & Methods" for 10 pastry doughs, including hot water, puff, and vegan, and each is documented with step-by-step photos. Once mastered, home bakers can move on to elegant fruit recipes such as mango and coconut cream tartlets; a vegan pastry made with coconut oil; a chamomile panna cotta tart, topped with edible flowers and herbs; and a cherry liquor pie, which is made with cherry brandy and packed with dark sweet cherries. Savory options abound, among them a dinner party worthy vegetable Wellington (made with cabbage, asparagus, potatoes, and porcini mushrooms); an ideal-for-brunch onion and Gruy re tart; and a comforting "Suitably Kooky Fish Pie" (filled with white fish, scallops, and broad beans). A humble onion and egg tartlet "a frugal dish" with "inexpensive ingredients" is a simple, homey inclusion. Top-notch photography by Peter Cassidy showcases recipes in full-page color shots. This outing will inspire and instill confidence in hesitant bakers.
