Is it just me, or is it like Winnie the Pooh teaching us to cook? It’s legendary 🤩

As an American I really appreciate how he clarifies certain things like chips are fries and that he gives both the metric and imperial measurements

I haven’t baked in years but my neighbor is British and keeps casually mentioning these amazing pies. Her arthritis prevents her from making them so I thought I’d surprise her with some. You have the most incredible way about sharing your amazing talents without sounding arrogant or patronizing your audience. I think I’ll make extra for myself. Thank you, John.

I'm 54 now, my Nanna showed me how to make these at 7yrs old, from the age of 13, she and I were making them together as they went into the mens lunch packs. We'd make the pastry on a Saturday, make the pies on a Sunday, for my dad and 6 brothers, , 45 pies!! I know 7 x 5 is 35, but we all liked them lol. I still make them to this day, exactly the same as she taught me. I'm currently teaching my 7ry old granddaughter the same method. It was so lovely to stumble on your video :) xx

Thank you John for this. You have brought back an amazing memory.

When my (Scottish) Grandma had to go into surgery back when I was in University, she made enough Scots meat pies for my Grandpa to cover her stay in the hospital. He burns water. She left him clear written instructions on how to warm them up. Well one afternoon, he called me and asked me to come over and watch the hockey game (we live in Canada) and said that my Uncle Sandy was coming too. Long story short, Sandy, Poppa and I ate all of the pies in one evening and Sandy and I had to take him out for supper for the next week LOL.

This guy is a great narrater. Love his style. Uses classic cooking methods too. Knows what he is doing. Very methodical and informative

I'm married to a Scott's Lass. All my attempts till now just got a "Nope that's not it".
Presented a pie made to your recipe and it was just like in the film When Harry Met Sally.
"YES YES YES"

clean explanation without unnecessary stuff, thanks

[VivSees]

OMG! I've just made these. I'm in heaven. As a scouser living in the US, these bring back delicious memories of my childhood, especially the pastry. Thank you for your recipes.

[namerican]

I can't help but feel like I'm cooking with Winne-the -Pooh listening to you. Your voice is spot on for instructional cooking... great recipe, thanks for sharing!

Reminds me of the Cornish Pasties my Mom would make! She was from Peterhead Scotland. She passed away in 2019 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. I sure miss her. Thank you for the lovely recipe! I can’t wait to try it!

Mother was from Sunderland though we lived abroad we would always go “Home” every 2-3 years. Your accent reminds of all the wonderful, friendly people there. All the best to you.

I don't know why this channel or video was recommend to me, but I'm glad YT algorithm did its job today! I haven't had a scotch pie since my uni days in Sheffield circa early '00. Scotch pies, buttery mash, mixed steamed veg and a bottle of cheap red 🤤; just to feel a little fancy. Thanks for bringing back some lovely memories, pal! 👍🏾

[Hugh_Mungus]

Thank you for providing the recipe at the very beginning. Some youtube cooks don't do that and I have to sit through an entire video of them talking about anything except food.

[SeemsLiquid]

I made this last week. I said I would. It was by far the best crust I ever made. Some “chef” said to just use store bought pie crust bcs it’s easier and the results are the same. Pfft~The tip you gave of putting it on the bottom rack was a winner too. Thanks !

[seephisd]

I love this guy. The simplicity. Humble foods. And a voice that deserves to be the voice of the food space.

[barbaraouimette]

What a joy to listen to his calm concise way that he explains things, . I could listen to him every day. I was imagining my dads' Scots grandmother making meat pies, which makes sense as she ended up in Canada where they do meat pies too. I wish I had grown up with this, I am going to make it, as I love lamb and channel my Scots ancestors.. It is about time I do a hot water pastry, I will be 71 soon enough.

I'm an old grannie, but I still love cooking and do so each evening for my 2 adult sons who I live with here in Cape Town, South Africa.

[renacleerican]

I am French and everytime I have visited or worked in England, I have been amazed by the gastronomy, the sophistication and the similarities we share in so many dishes!
Your pear cider is the best🇬🇧💙😋
And what about the insanely tasty vinegar crisps, simple but perfect😋
