Pieminister

Join us to celebrate delicious, conscientious pie-making with Tristan and Jon, the founders of the famous and beautifully local and award-winning Pieminister. We now have our very own place here in Bath. This evening there will be an interactive cookery demo, lots of chat and lots of tastings!

Pieminister are renowned for their intriguing flavour combinations, with recipes including Pumpkin & Pistachio Patties, Chili Con Carnage Pie, Mushroom & Stout Steamed Pud, Pie Na Colada Tarte Tatin and the Mooless and Blueless, a vegan steak and blue cheese pie.

Their easy-to-follow recipes range from plant-based to gluten-free to others requiring regeneratively farmed meat. Creations ranging from indulgent pies for one, to perfect party ‘cana-pies’, tasty traybakes and dinner party showstoppers. Their pastry recipes cover everything from the super simple to more technical, such as a filo + strudel hybrid called the Foodle. Though, with step-by-step instructions along with the authors’ relaxed give-it-a-go approach, even the most inexperienced bakers will be delighted at what they can achieve.

Live & Eat Pie! demystifies 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 wisdom gained over the last 20 years at Pieminister.

“Twenty years of pie making has been one giant learning curve for us. A journey that’s far from complete, we’ve met some amazing producers, activists, farmers and chefs along the way! We hope that by sharing some of the knowledge we’ve gained so far, we can inspire experienced and novice cooks to try something a little different, while helping them navigate some of the complexities of sustainable eating. After all, the pie’s the limit.”

Founders, Tristan Hogg & Jon Simon
