In this post, we’re going to be looking at a great recipe for a Mary Berry Cornish Pasty recipe. Mary Berry is one of Britain’s famous TV chefs, and Star Food Magazine have called her some of the ‘best food writers of the 21st century.

We’re going to be talking about the ingredients that are used in this recipe, as well as how it looks. This is an important part of the recipe.
The pasty is a traditional English dish made with meat, vegetables and often eggs. Well, not exactly what it is supposed to be made with, but in today’s era of foodie and vegan, we can’t complain about the allure of the pasty. Pasties are traditionally made in a scones pan and wrapped up in an old fashioned pastry circle. The filling is typically meat or vegetable and cooked in a variety of spices and herbs that is then layered with a layer of pastry.
Mary Berry once famously said that the pasty was “the world’s greatest invention”. It’s often considered to be one of the most beloved foods ever created, and for good reason. The pasty has become the heart and soul of English cooking, and can easily be traced all the way back to its origins in the late 19th century. Loaded with beef, potato, eggs, veg and never-ending gravy, the pasty has become one of Britain’s most well-loved dishes.
