Hot pork pie from THE PIE ROOM by Calum Franklin. I finally got to use my pie dolly, and I’m really chuffed at how these turned out. Minced pork, chopped pork, bacon, spices and plenty of sage are baked in a hand raised, rosemary infused, hot water pastry crust. These are some work, but when the Big J’s reaction is “My God, these are good!” you know you’ve struck pie gold. It’s even better when one of the juniors, who I was fairly certain wasn’t going to like it, also gave me a Wow! This is good! Well, I had pretty high hopes, as the author runs The Pie Room at London’s Rosewood Hotel. Looks like there will be plenty more to come from this book.
