potato pie cooking in the oven. There perhaps isn't anything better
than the first taste of a caramel and coffee eclair. From Britain's
favourite expert baker comes a mouth-watering new book about two of
our nation's obsessions: pies and puddings. Paul Hollywood puts his
signature twist on the traditional classics, with easy-to-follow,
foolproof and tantalising recipes for steak and ale pie, pork,
apple and cider pie, lamb kidney and rosemary suet pudding, sausage
plait and luxury fish pie. He will show you how to create inventive
dishes such as chicken and chorizo empanadas, chilli beef cornbread
pies and savoury choux buns. If that isn't enough, here you will
find his recipe for the Queen of puddings, as well as spiced plum
pizza, chocolate volcanoes and apple and Wensleydale pie. There are
also regional recipes like Yorkshire curd tart and the Bedfordshire
clanger, and a step-by-step guide to all the classic doughs from
rich shortcrust to choux pastry. Paul Hollywood's Pies and Puds is
simply a must-have. 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.

'This book is a much-needed, unique and very practical guide to how
you can use the new knowledge of the gut microbes to improve your
health as well as developing and expanding your skills in the
kitchen.' Tim Spector 'It is impossible to read this book without
wanting to scuttle off into the kitchen.' Nigella Lawson Foreword
by Tim Spector The benefits of sourdough are well known - the slow
fermentation process creates a healthier and lighter dough that is
easier to digest - but until now they have been mainly linked to
bread. If it rises, however, it can be made with sourdough, and in
this ground-breaking new book, Vanessa Kimbell focuses on sweet
sourdough bakes that not only nourish the gut but also improve your
mood. Using a variety of flours, including chestnut, spelt and
einkorn, as well as blends you can make up yourself, the classic
recipes and new ideas for flavour combinations cover everything
from cakes, tarts and biscuits, to doughnuts, brioche and pretzels,
and rely on natural sweetness wherever possible. Recipes include
Morello Cherry Shortbread, Chocolate, Tangerine & Pistachio
Cakes, Carrot & Walnut Cake, Doughnuts and Mille-feuille as
well as vinegars, compotes, cultured creams, butters and ghee.
There is even Chocolate, Almond & Hazelnut Spread and Sourdough
Vanilla Ice Cream. Vanessa also explains how sourdough helps to
maintain the health and diversity of your gut microbiome. From
understanding the benefits of having diversity in your diet to the
amazing work of enzymes, this book is about understanding the
connection between our food, gut microbiome and the potential
impact on our mental health. New studies are unveiling links
between the microorganisms in our gut and our mood and behaviour,
and Vanessa is at the forefront of this research. 'Britain's queen
of sourdough.' - Telegraph 'Vanessa Kimbell wants to change the
bread we eat, one loaf at a time. She's the real deal: a total
inspiration.' - Diana Henry 'Just five years ago if someone said to
you that they were writing a book about sourdough bread and mental
health you would have thought they needed psychiatric help. Today
nobody is laughing as the latest science tells us that microbes are
the key link between food and the health of our mind and bodies.' -
Tim Spector, author of The Diet Myth
