If you loved the previous books, then Perfect Pies is a definite must have for the collection.

This is the definitive Pie Bible from the Kings of Pie, The Hairy Bikers. 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. This is a heart-warming, delicious and nostalgic recipe book that can be enjoyed by families, friends and fans of the nation's favourite dish.

If you want to get hold of a copy just go into any good bookshop or head online to get yourself in pie making mode as the autumn nights draw closer.

  • Fantastic book have been making Cow Pie,Pasty's,Scotch Egg Pie & Potato/Leek & Ham Tart.........who ate all the pies WE DID!

  • I love the book, have made the sausage and bean breakfast pie 4 times, it is the best.

  • Hoping to try and make some of these Pies using gluten free flour, really praying they come out ok,
    I'm such a huge pie fiend and having not been able to eat a pie when im out (only one brand frozen shop bought and they are horrific). On the bright side the fear of eating gluten is making me go back to the kitchen and cook for myself!! :o)

  • spent the last evening sitting in front of the wood burner looking at this lovely book. Can't wait to get baking some of the excellent ideas, thanks lads.

  • On the 21st November you showed a receipe of Delia Smith's Bacon and Egg pie could you let me have the receipe please.

  • .Love the book, can't stop baking pies!! Every one I have tried has been really tasty. Just one question, the cottage pie with cheesy mash on page 190....no mention of when you add the cheese!! I sprinkled it on the top, tasted good
