British Pie Week: Win a Great New Cookbook

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 15:18:31 GMT

The 1st – 7th March 2010 is British Pie Week and what better way to celebrate than to get down to your favourite pub and tuck into a traditional delight! Plus - you could win a copy of our great new cookbook, Canteen: Great British Food by Cass Titcombe, Patrick Clayton-Malone and Dominic Lake as well as Stuart Maconie’s love letter to the north, Pies and Prejudice. Just tell us which of your favourite pubs does the best pie and you will automatically be entered into our free prize draw.

Canteen took the London restaurant scene by storm in 2005. Here was a restaurant serving proper British food - devilled kidneys on toast, potted duck, pork pies, and treacle tart - with passion and pride. Their no-nonsense, modern-meets-classic menu has brought good British cooking to the high street once more, and prompted the likes of Gordon Ramsay, Terence Conran and gastropubs around the country to follow suit.
