Pastry is one of our favourite things to indulge in - the golden crust of a pie, the flaky pastry of the immortal Cornish pasty, or the soft encasing of a suet pudding: all provide comforting, homely dishes that we know and love. However, often it feels out of reach for everyday cooks, surrounded by rumours of impossibility, stories of failure and unachievable recipes. In River Cottage Great Pies Gelf Alderson will dispel all fear, giving every home cook the tools they need to achieve pastry greatness with achievable, delicious recipes for every pastry-laden occasion, from the buffet to the centrepiece of any meal. Starting with a chapter dedicated to the core recipes for the most-used pastry - including shortcrust, puff and rough puff, hot water, filo, suet, choux and sweet pastry and a range of wholemeal pastries - these become the basis for the pastry masterpieces in the book. (And if you don't have time to make pastry from scratch, don't despair - the recipes in the book are doable with shop-brought for when time and inclination are against you.) In chapters such as veggie pies, open pies and tarts, saucy pies, raised pies, pasties and sweet stuff, you'll find recipes for kitchen classics (from the ultimate quiche to a beef and ale pie, and from the classic River Cottage pork pie to custard tarts), as well as unexpected sweet and savoury treats (think spanakopita, chicken balti pie or peach, redcurrant, hazelnut and cardamom meringue pie), rounded out with a chapter of sauces, gravies and custards - everything you'll need to accompany your pies, pastries and pasties.With an introduction from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, this book provides an essential kit list and information on different flours and fats, with 100 comforting recipes of grounded pastry cooking, achievable for everyone and on your table in no time.

"This book explores the interaction between the EU and international investment law, both at the internal level, namely within the EU internal market, and at the external level, i.e. in the context of its relations with third States. The joint treatment of these dimensions reveals that the EU has assumed an ostensibly ambivalent attitude towards international investment law. At the internal level, it has consistently asserted that intra-EU international investment agreements (IIAs) are not compatible with EU law and advocated their termination. At the external level, by contrast, it has eagerly deployed IIAs to develop its post-Lisbon international investment policy. The book finds that beneath this apparent ambivalence towards international investment law ultimately lies the EU's attempt to impose, both internally and externally, its own original model of regulation of cross-border investment. It then argues that the EU adopted this approach with a view to supporting its internal market, enhancing its external influence, and, ultimately, pursuing long-term 'federal aspirations'. Finally, the book identifies the legal and political obstacles that have curtailed the EU's efforts at both the internal and the external level"--
