Live & Eat Pie! Ethical and sustainable pie making

If you like our pies, you’ll love our new cookbook! It will be available on shelves on the 2 March 2023. Written by Jon and Tristan, Pieminister’s founders, this is pie-making at its most delicious, conscientious and fun.

Whether you want party cana-pies, tasty traybakes or a quick pie for tea, this new book contains easy-to-follow recipes and intriguing flavour combinations.

You’ll find recipes such as Pumpkin & Pistachio Patties, Chilli Con Carnage Pie and the Mooless and Blueless, a vegan steak and blue cheese pie. You’ll also find a few pies from our archives, if there’s something you still crave from menus past.

 

You can order this book straight from our online shop, Amazon, Waterstones, or bookshop.org

The easy-to-follow recipes range from plant-based to gluten-free, with others requiring regeneratively farmed meat. Our pastry recipes cover everything from the super simple to more technical (check out the filo x strudel hybrid, the Foodle!). To help you out with your creations, we have created how-to pastry-making videos you can follow through a QR code. We think even the most inexperienced bakers will be delighted at what they can create. 

And among the delicious pie recipes in Live & Eat Pie! we’ve tried to demystify sustainable food in an inspiring and attainable way. From fighting waste and finding deforestation-free fats, to getting to grips with truly sustainable packaging, this book reveals much of the stuff we’ve learned over the last 20 years, running our family business, Pieminister.

Happy reading!
