Cooking on an Esse | A Walk Before the Pie

I am cooking on the Esse Ironheart, a wood burning stove. I think it very English to bake your own pie. But first I need to work up an appetite!
My videos are about searching for what England means to me. It is a personal journey.

I think you have a ghost, Richard. ;) When you were talking at 15:44 a hand appears and moves a mug in the top left of the screen!

That’s exactly what the original homeowner did just before he went and stood on the doorstep, where he died. He goes through the daily ritual of putting his mug down and goes to the door step where he collapses and dies. Richard spoke about him a few videos back - maybe he doesn’t like pie and went outside for some air.

Bake the bottom half of pastry first then add filling and top off with the other half of pastry the bake for another half hour until browned. Easy peasy. 😄

One does generally add at least a little water to pastry. And this obsession with not touching it can be taken a little too far, but I would tend to avoid breathing on it, while not suffocating myself in the process. Loved watching; scenery; seeing the device in action and then being made to feel like a chef to boot!

I’m not going to give you any advice Richard, I am no cook. I haven’t made a pie for years and I tend to use shop bought pastry. So I applaud you for having a go and actually sharing the evidence with us. Some beautiful scenery on the downs especially as you were coming back down the path. Isn’t it amazing what a difference a bit of sunshine makes?

I love these new 'story' videos, where you take us with you through a day. I could almost breathe in that fresh air on the downs. Then pie making. What can I say, hilarious. So funny. Liked when you sat on the chair with bits flying haha. It was all the better for us having a jolly good idea it was all going to go horribly wrong. Well done Richard, class act.

Hello there its just keep it all cool let it rest, in the fridge, shortcrust is half the fat to flour, simple. You are doing well. Any old scraps of bacon 🥓 use up with your leeks mixture. Or even some odd bits of 🧀 cheese

Perfect Chicken & Leek CRUMBLE. Add more Fat or Water & Roll out Thinner Then Cook for longer at about 200. I make Cornish pasties & cook for about 40 mins at 200 or until brown, but not burnt.

Really enjoyed your walk today. It’s like your older ones and it’s just FUN! Thank you Richard for taking me. Loved seeing all the berries for the birds I’m sure it’s chilling down a bit there. It is here (Arkansas) and you are further north than we are. Are your winters harsh? Ours aren’t to bad. A few really cold days but we are in the south so it’s not to bad. For your pie, they have a product out called Better Than Bullion and it adds a deeper flavour to your meal. They have vegetable, chicken and beef flavours. I think you’d like it, I don’t know why but I thought a leek was an onion. Maybe not as strong a flavour

Loved this Richard 👍🏻 If you make a pie again just use shop bought pastry and add cream and chopped or dried tarragon to the filling. What did you and Julia eat in the end?? 🙂 🥧

@drewski363 2 жыл бұрын

You can't beat a good pie. Like Bonny says you have to blind bake the shortcrust pastry case first and white sauce in the filling would be good. A brave attempt. The three best pies I have ever eaten are 1. Minced beef and onion pie with mash and parsley liquor from BJ's in Canning Town, London (a bargain) 2. Steak and Fuller's London Pride steak pie at The Sanctuary pub in Westminster (pricey, but superb as you could taste the white pepper. None of that black pepper nonsense) 3. My Mum's Scouse pie. She cooked a vat of Liverpool scouse on a Friday. What we didn't eat was put into a pie on Saturday and the flavour really came out. Took me 30 years to get Mum to write the recipe down. Added Worcestershire and tomato sauce and pickled red cabbage on the side: fantastic. The question is with pies is: should it be shortcrust or flaky pastry? Loved seeing the old cast iron pan on the back of the Esse. My gran used to have one. So heavy that you get a work-out whilst you cook !!!!

Oh chicken and leak pie. How lovely. I'm more of a half pie girl. Stick the filling in the dish and just add a pastry top. Saves all the blind baking of the pie base. I'm lazy 🤣

@@RichardVobes Still got one...and a black lead range; we usually cook on...a conventional gas cooker...(our Rayburn is gas fired, costs a fortune to run so only provides extra heating in winter, the black lead Chichester Belle is now only coked up occasionally in winter...seems a waste really as it slow-cooked christmas dinner beautifully...)

Just a point you may find interesting. In the Algarve we have a major shop that just sells Rayburn cookers. They seem to sell well.
