The Pie and Pastry Bible is your magic wand for baking the pies, tarts, and pastries of your dreams -- the definitive work by the country's top baker.
'Fast to make, slow to ferment - how to fit baking nourishing, delicious and wholesome sourdough into everyday life' - Dr Michael Mosley 'Britain's queen of sourdough.' - Telegraph 'She's the real deal: a total inspiration.' - Diana Henry 'Vanessa's work on sourdough and the gut microbiome is changing the way we think of food, health and baking.' - Tim Spector, author of The Diet Myth Sourdough is one of the tastiest and most nutritious breads you can make, but it has a reputation for being both tricky and time-consuming. 10-Minute Sourdough is Vanessa Kimbell's foolproof guide to slow bread for those with busy lives. None of the fuss-free, no-knead recipes - which include everything from a basic sourdough boule to tomato focaccia and apple spelt sourdough with cinnamon butter - require more than 10 minutes' active work in total (not including fermentation time or time in the oven) and mean that anyone can turn their hand to sourdough baking, no matter how little time they have.
Erin Jeanne McDowell, New York Times contributing baker extraordinaire and top food stylist, wrote the book on pie, a comprehensive handbook that distills all you'll ever need to know for making perfect pies.

Find everything from classics like Apple Pie and Pumpkin Pie, to more inspired recipes like Birthday-Cake Pie and Caramel Pork Pie with Chile and Scallions. Erin also suggests recommended pie doughs and toppings with each recipe for infinitely customizable pies: Mix and match Pumpkin Spice Pie Dough and Dark Chocolate Drippy Glaze with the Pumpkin Pie, or sub in the Chive Compound-Butter Crust for the Croque Madame Pielets . . . the possibilities are endless. With helpful tips, photographic guides, and inspirations-pie-deas-it's almost like having Erin in the kitchen baking pies with you.
