Be reminded everything is measured in grams rather then cups and conversions do not mean accuracy. I bought a gram weight Scale. Allalso different flours then are used in america. I use gluten free flours, so get a different pastry outcome, however the fillings can be used. I specifically wanted the hot water pastry and fillings. I was still happy with my game pies but wow....super rich using both butter and lard in the pastry. I bought masterclass game pie molds. They came out impressive. I made too thick even tho it didnt seem like it but it totally held up taking out of mold! --Hypnojade

I bought this book because of the photos of how to make the different pastries - invaluable as now I can see where I went wrong before. I have a scale that weighs in grams so it's not a big deal as I don't have to convert to US volume measurements. Getting Lard can be an issue, the cheap stuff is hydrogenated, so I went to Whole Foods and got the real thing. You can also make lard yourself, it's easy to do. Pastry is soooo much better made with lard and butter. --A. Williams

Buy this cookbook, will be one of the best investments ever...appreciate having a gentleman like this showing me in detail the art[s] of baking. God bless him, wish we were fortunate to have his cooking show[s] available to American audiences....more the pity. His text delivery along with how-to photos make his recipe prep simple. This and all of his cookbooks are well worth purchasing. Thank you Paul! --Irish
