Scoffing Pies on Telly! How unglamorous. Perfect Pies, UKTV Good Food Channel

I had such a fun day with the Good Food Channel lot filming Perfect Pies.  I was one of 3 judges lucky enough to enjoy a morning of tucking into 6 delish pies (3 rounds).  The first round was the classic pie, the second round was the easy pie, and the final round was the ultimate pie cooked for us by the chefs Matt Tebbutt and Valentine Warner.

I have since baked Matt's ultimate hand raised luxury pie (his was my personal favorite) and boy it turned out fantastic, thanks Matt I will be making your Pie again at Christmas!

Gossip!

Following the discovery that a couple of my cookery students became smitten with each other, getting their Moussaka's
in a twist during my Mediterranean class, I've been inspired to organise a SPEED DATING COOKERY CLASS.  Details are still in the mixing bowl and will soon be emerging fully baked from my mental oven, but basically it looks like the class will involve 3 easy dishes, with each dish cooked by revolving partners, allowing students to socialise and eat what they have cooked! Ideally each class would need at least 10 people to work, I just have to find the right venue first! More details to follow...
Please do let me know if you are interested in this class, I will then add you to the list for a special discount for the first class only.

The British Pie Awards
Pies, Pies Pies.... whilst filming the Perfect Pie show I was asked by the Melton Mowbray (king of British Pork Pies) to be one of the Judges at the yearly British Pie awards in June, its quite an event the likes of Charles Champion, Rosemary Shrager, Clarissa Dickson Wright and Phil Vickery are also some of the named judges!  So will pop up for the day and mingle and munch away with all these delightlful people!
