The book explores how the pasty has been taken all around the world (mostly by emigrating mining families) and inspired versions from Argentina to Australia, and looks at the pasty's importance for Cornwall's economy today. Finally, the second half of the book teaches you how to make the perfect pasty, sharing my own award winning recipes along with tips and tricks for getting them just right! Whether you're looking for recipes, tips to improve your pastry baking, or a trip into history, I hope you enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed writing it.- Billy Deakin

While this was an enjoyable read with lots of history, and the author has a friendly and humorous style, I was a bit disappointed when it came to the actual recipe instructions. First, I would have liked to have been told more clearly up front that the book was written somewhere in the British Isles and so the references to some of the ingredients he used were to brands from over there. For instance, he is very particular about what kind of flour he uses and what kind to definitely avoid, but since there is no brand reference for the U.S. it would take a bit of research and maybe some trial and error to find the right stuff here. The author makes a point that the flour used is extremely important and that even when one uses the right kind of flour, it can behave or taste different between various brands. Alas, no help on which ones he found to be satisfactory. Same for the brand of shortening recommended. I don't recognize the brand. Also, it would have been nice to have both American and British measurements listed for the ingredients instead of just British--after all, it is being promoted in the U.S. too. One needs to convert grams to cups or ounces, and I have no idea how to translate "a knob of butter." I wanted the exact recipe he used to win the championship, not to have to guess ingredient amounts and wonder if my knob of butter is the same as the one he measures out.After sharing the recipe for the pasty that won him the Amateur Cornish Pasty World Championship two times, he gives quite a few recipes for pasty variations including some that pay tribute to cuisines from around the world, dessert pasties, and also vegetarian and gluten free versions. Many of them look quite delicious.
