Privilege to be in Pies and Puds

As Britons, it is not news to hear that two of our favourite foods as a nation are Pies and Puddings. 

Both of which are perfectly encapsulated in Paul Hollywood’s new book, “Pies and Puds”.

Hollywood said: "Man cannot live by bread alone—not even if the man is me. With this book, I want to rekindle our affection for straightforward, honest food.

Pies and puddings really sum up the strengths of our culinary culture—there's something about a home-baked deep golden pie or simple steamed pud that warms the cockles of your heart like nothing else."

The new book has countless recipes on sweet and savoury pies, as well as many delicious pudding recipes.

You will find “meat and potato pie, pork, apple and cider pie, lamb kidney and rosemary suet pudding, sausage plait and luxury fish pie” amongst the pie roster.

As well as these, the ‘Queen of puddings’, spiced plum pizza (yes, pizza), chocolate volcanoes and apple and Wensleydale pie will all be gracing the pages under the “Puddings” heading.

Turn to p.197 and you will find the Crannachan Cheesecake recipe that our oatcakes are used in!

Whether you're a sweet or a savoury person, a keen novice or an expert baker: it's time to get baking pies and puds.

The book will be released on Thursday 24th October on Bloomsbury publishing.

It will be available in all supermarkets, WHSmith and online.

The “Pies and Puds” tv series will air in November also, so keep an eye out for Mitchells and Judy!

How do you like yours ?

Next time you are in Inverurie pop into “The Dairy” for some Mitchells oatcakes, hand baked on the premises to a family recipe passed down the generations.

We’ve got a great range of cheese, chutney and Aberdeenshire honey to compliment them. We think locally produced cheese from The Devenick Dairy and Cambus O’May taste great with our oatcakes.

We would love to hear how you like yours, so feel free to post your comments below, or on our Facebook Page.
