Sweet Pies and Pastries

Pastries may come in many guises but they all share the same wonderful characteristics —they are at once tender and flaky, light and creamy, mouthwatering and delicate. The success to good pastry lies in the perfect combination of a meltingly crisp crust and the sublime filling it encases. We use pastry for tarts, pies, with their golden domed lids, hiding a mass of delicious soft fruits, and for little feathery light pastries, rolled or layered with nuts or fragrant spices, providing the perfect snack or appetiser.
