Paul Hollywood's Pies and Puds

Pleased enough upon receipt, but absolutely thrilled to find the series of shows(episodes) available on Roku in the USA that features these recipes & hosted by Paul Hollywood. Instructions are clear, great photographs

The recipes are very well presented and accompanied by photo illustrations of key techniques. As an American who occasionally resides in Britain each year, I have come to appreciate truly authentic British dishes. Paul’s book has enabled me to easily recreate many of these classic sweet and savory favorites through easy step-by-step instructions. He has some videos on YouTube that you might also want to check out too.

A lovely book

I like it

We saw the program in TV and some of the recipes he made were awesome. The book arrived and it contains most of what he baked in the program. I can’t wait to bake some of the delicious pies and puds from his book.

It just arrived yesterday, so I can only speak on looks as I haven't tried any of the recipes. Looks great - I can't wait to dig into some of these recipes. I caught a couple of episodes, on youtube, of the series that is companion to this book and they put the hook in me to buy this. So far, I've baked quite a few of Paul's recipes from his "How to Bake" and the GBBO tie in book "Great British Bake Off: Everyday" and have been very happy with the results. I expect the recipes in this book to be no different. The extra tips and diagrams are always appreciated. I see many reviews mention that its not user friendly with regards to the weights/measurements. It is really quite simple. If you want to make European recipes, you simply must buy a scale. Odds are your liquid measuring cup has metric already and your measuring spoons are fine. Don't do a conversion of guessing how many cups of flour equal 175 grams. If you are serious about baking, be exact. Write down (in the book if you like) a simple C to F degree chart for the standard cooking temps and you are set. I now cringe when recipes have volume measurements for dry ingredients. So nice to sift my flour into a bowl on the scale and have it exactly what I need. Some ingredient names may throw off American bakers, but google is very helpful at pointing you in the direction of an item's "American" name or a usable substitute if not available.

This book is in great condition so looking forward to trying the recipes...thank you

Paul Hollywood is now famous from the Great British bake off as a judge in the UK. I thought I would try his baking books as have seen him on the TV and this book is very good. Excellent dishes, savoury,sweet, classics. The kindle version has all the recipes with detailed pictures step by step for a lot of the recipes. Very easy to follow. If you fancy something to cook/bake you can just look through this book and find something for the time you have and type of dish you wanted. Obviously with the kindle you can bookmark the recipes you want or have already tried. As this kindle version was very good I have got another kindle version of his British baking books, The kindle price is good and worth trying to see what inspiration you will have to start baking. I have also bought the book as a gift and the hard backed version is very nice, good size and well illustrated.
