An ideal recipe for light rough puff pastry that’s super easy to create.
Our Traditional English Pork Pie is hand made using hot water pastry, the best quality pork and a secret blend of spices.
The English Pork Pie was once the lunch of choice for miners. Today it is perfect on platters or packed in a picnic.
It is delicious served as part of a ploughman’s platter. Serve cold with traditional accompaniments – Dill pickle, hot English mustard and cheddar cheese. Or simply quarter and serve with your favourite relish, chutney or pickles.

If I had to some up my philosophy on food in a couple of sentences I would really struggle. Anyone who knows me or has been to one of my cooking classes knows that once I start talking about food and cooking I find it very difficult to stop because it touches on every aspect of my life – my childhood, my work, my passion, my relaxation, my holidays, my family, my gardening, my beliefs etc etc.
So Ive decided to start writing about how food makes me feel and how it can teach us a lot about ourselves and finding connections and a sense of value.
My posts are genuine and based on my own experience and cover everything from cooking with my kids to gardening and travel but mostly about enjoying the simple things in life and taking the time ….
These galettes are delicious on their own or served with Vanilla Bean ice cream and salted caramel.
