About the Book

Life of Pies: A light hearted travelogue - one man's search for the perfect pie. "Absolutely brilliant book! This is one of the funniest books I've laid my eyes on in a long long while." People often do strange things upon approaching middle age. They try to solve unanswered questions or come over all obsessive about the most innocuous of activities. Some decide to run a marathon or climb Mount Kilimanjaro or learn to play the guitar. Me? I just wanted to find the perfect pie. We all love pies but who is going to be brave enough to take THAT challenge on. Perhaps the only way to find out is to get some lunatic to spend the best part of two years travelling the country to find out. From Inverurie to St Ives. Cornish Pasties to Steak and Gravy. I am that lunatic and this is my story. There have been books on pies written before but they've always been written by experts. The difference with this one is that it's written by a COMPLETE IDIOT. Part culinary review, part travelogue Life of Pies is written with humour, attention to detail and often downright desperation, the story documents exactly what happens when someone takes their hobby just a little bit too seriously. With 400 pies sampled and exactly 314 reviewed, it also serves as a useful reference point as to where to find the best pastry products throughout the heartlands of the UK and gives a whistle stop tour of Britain's finest pie purveyors. Warning: Life of Pies should not be read on an empty stomach.
About the Author: Life of Pies is Martin Tarbuck's third book after Let's Hang On (Mainstream Publishing, 2003) and Pies & Prejudice (Mudhuts Media, 2005, co-written with Andrew Vaughan). Martin is Editor of long standing Wigan (home of pies) based football magazine The Mudhutter and likes playing and watching football, drinking ale, eating pies and exploring the United Kingdom. Hobbies that are all encapsulated in abundance in this humorous travelogue.
