He’s been described as the baking woman’s crumpet and apparently gets one marriage proposal a week!

Great British Bake Off judge, Paul Hollywood, joins Sean Moncrieff today at 2.20pm

Paul Hollywood puts his signature twist on the traditional classic pies and puddings with easy-to-follow, foolproof and tantalising recipes for meat and potato pie, pork, apple and cider pie, lamb kidney and rosemary suet pudding, sausage plait and luxury fish pie. He will show you how to create inventive dishes such as chicken and chorizo empanadas, chilli beef cornbread pies and savoury choux buns. If that isn’t enough, here you will find his recipe for the Queen of puddings, as well as spiced plum pizza, chocolate volcanoes and apple and Wensleydale pie. There are also regional recipes like Yorkshire curd tart and the Bedfordshire clanger, and a step-by-step guide to all the classic doughs from rich shortcrust to choux pastry.

Pies and Puds by Paul Hollywood is in the shops now.
