It looks nice so I’ll have a go. However, I was surprised for the teaspoon of PEPPER! Was that right? It seems a lot of pepper for 300g of mince. I would appreciate of your time to confirm the quantity of pepper. Many thanks. David
I'm from the US originally but lived in Scotland for a year as a kid, and these were my absolute favourites. I missed them so much that when I was in college (in New York) I called the Scottish consulate to ask where I could find them! Now I live in Edinburgh and will never lack for Scotch pies again.
I love your channel. I'm from glasgow and now reside in Canada, everything you make from traditional scottish foods I grew up with, it brings me home, along with your wonderful accent. We can't get the scottish pies and that's what I miss the most, so was just jumping for joy when i saw you make them. Remember when bakers used to sell them with mashed potatoes and peas or beans on top. Oh my!
I could listen to you forever. I visited Scotland in2006,best country I have ever visited. Everyone was so nice. I am of Scottish decent and so so proud of it. Thank you
The great thing about your videos is that you give folk the confidence to have a go at cooking and baking things they never thought they could. Thank you. 💕
Once thing I absolutely love about your videos is you show truly nothing beats homemade, hearty food, I live near Newcastle, so it's really nice to see you showing us how to bring Scotland to us in these hard times, hope you and your family are in happy health! Keep it up! I love your videos!
These look great. Have to say, loving all of your videos. As a Scotsman who’s been living in Yorkshire for these past 17 years, I miss many of the traditional cakes and bakes and meals that I grew up with so fondly in Paisley. Definitely looking forward to arming myself with lots of good ingredients and following your videos to try make my own. Thank you so very much for being by far the friendliest, simplest to follow, and warmest of “how to” Scots cooking vids. Trying to source a good Scots butcher that will deliver, and might need to wait until after this current pandemic gets under control, so any Scots butcher recommendations welcome. Cheers 👍👍👍
Thanks for the wonderful video. My .02c, or maybe I should say .02 pence: The white pepper is the secret ingredient. My Scottish grandparents would also use oats mixed into the the mince with sweet onion. The cool thing is that there are a lot of different takes on how to make them. Granddad use to also use a quarter teaspoon of ground ginger and coriander. I further modified the recipe by sometime use ground bison. I will often make a double batch and use the traditional ground lamb, one pound, with one pound of the bison.
Thank you so much for this. I lived in Scotland for several years (long ago) and Scotch Pie is one my favorite foods. I've tried to making them myself from similar recipes but technique was never really covered whereas your video is just perfect in showing me exactly how to do it right.
We pay$7.00 a pie here . Even though lamb is expensive here,it's still cheaper to make them at home. My Great Grandfather moved from Edinburgh to Winnipeg, opened a bakery,his specialty was the pie. He did very well as he lived in a community full of Scots. ❣️
Finally made these tonight!!! They're definitely worth the time they take!! My sons and I LOVED them. My husband, the one who grew up eating them, loved the crust, which he was most concerned with, but not crazy about the filling. He's looking for an exact match to the pies he grew up with in Utah, and that's not going to happen. They were made in a factory and full of soy. Here in the US, lamb and mutton aren't readily available and are pretty expensive when you can find them, so I used half ground beef and half ground pork and had them with homemade chili over them. (Made chili last night just for this 😁) Again, THANK YOU!!!!! 😘
Thank you for making this video. I'm first generation American. I grew up with visiting my grandparents and them getting these from a Scottish bakery. Unfortunately there are no bakeries like this in northern Idaho where I live, but now I can make my own! Thanks so much!
On the east coast we have always eaten beef in our traditional Scotch pies. Mutton or lamb is very west coast. I can remember my now late great aunt telling me that once, when in Glasgow in the 1950's, she really fancied a Scotch pie. She bought one, took a bite and was disgusted to find it was made with mutton. Needless to say she binned it. As an east coaster I simply couldn't bring myself to associate a mutton filling with a Scotch pie, especially when compared to a proper Dundee peh made with proper minced Angus beef! It's a Scottish regional culinary difference and a very important one.
I have been waiting for this recipe, the pies look divine, I use the hot water pastry when I make my pork pie, it's so yummy Thank you, for another amazing recipe Cheryl, :-)
Another great recipe and demonstration, Cheryl. I remember when I was a kid growing up in South Africa, my parents trying to recreate Scottish dishes for my sister and I. In those days brisket cost pennies because nobody over there used it in any dishes. I remember my dad showing the local butcher how to tie a rolled brisket with string. He would then bring it home and make scotch broth, serving the meat with boiled potatoes carrots and peas. Yum! My parents also made potted hough, using shin of beef and a pigs trotter for gelatine. You remind me of them ...
Oh well just made some, albeit in little Yorkshire pudding tins, fantastic pastry and they really look the part. I will definitely be experimenting with different fillings and pie sizes. Thanks again!
Love your videos Cheryl! We moved from Scotland to Yorkshire 6 years ago and are always bringing pies, square sausage etc home with us when we visit. Now I can make my own 😋 tonight I made my first macaroni pies and creamy chicken soup from your recipes, turned out fab! Scotch pies next 😊
Made this today from your recipe. Absolutely awesome!!!! The seasoning was spot on!!!!! The pastry was gorgeous used two, frozen two. Another quick meal ready for busy days. Going to try your pork pie next. Thanks Cheryl.❤
Used to be easy to get these when I was young, and I've seen others that are tasty but not right. Lovely to see them here as I remember them, plain and wholesome! ❤ XXX
Great to see a recipe that gives a proper pie at last! I grew up on these pies, usually shop bought and you could find them quite easily in shops down in England too where Sainsbury's, M&S and Safeways always had them. Now, its much harder to find them. So, living in London this recipe saves the day! By the way, when I was a kid, we used to stay at mum's friend's in Orkney - the mutton pies at the shops in Kirkwall were often topped with piped mash as well. Haven't seen that for ages. Thanks for a great channel Cheryl.
My granny n grandad used to take us from wales up to Helensburgh every Easter holidays and we’d stop at the little butchers for our scotch pies and Scottish breakfast rolls with square sausage great memories x My grandad used to make an amazing scotch broth soup too ! X
Such a pleasure discovering your channel,watching you making traditional Scottish pies and heraing you explaining the different steps...and what a wonderful accent ! Difficult at first to understand but watching the video helps. Thank you for sharing .
I have to make these (with mutton)! Have had Scoth Pies down south but am not convinced of the authenticity ... I need to find a real Scottish butcher but in the meantime I'll be happy to follow your recipe! I've only recently found your channel and have to say your recipes are real home fare! I cook from scratch so although I can follow a recipe I sometimes go off piste if an ingredient is missing! There is absolutely no ingredient I don't like!
Good morning. I just pulled mine from the oven! Scrumpdillicious! Had to share your recipe with my friends who commented and asked! I have made others from you tube but not even close in flavor and texture! I added a wee pinch of nutmeg too !
Hello from New Zealand. A lot of my family are Scots, living in NZ. I'm glad I found your channel. I just love ferritin out Scottish foods. Looks so yummy. 😊
The perfect midweek meal. This was one of the the few meals that had to be salt vinegar and tomatoe sauce. Broon wasn't for the beans. Raised across the water in Girvan now living in Thailand. Never knew about water pastry so might be able to give them ago. No sheep but there are plenty goats would do as mutton. Great videos!
I use lamb because it's available.... Love has to have salt vinegar and tomato sauce!! When I made this for my guy he knew to a minimum if something wasn't right. Lost him too last year just glad still talk to his younger bro.
Thank you for your recipie Cheryl. I used it to make six delicious pies tonight to share with two other Scottish ex-pats here in western Canada. You have three committed admirers here. Awesome 👌
Oh yes, I will be making these. I love Scotch Pies. I lived in Helensburg and then Girvan for a total of 17 years in the 70's and 80''s and they are amongst the food of the gods as far as I am concerned. I'm now retired in Spain so have been missing them. Usually only get them when we come back for Christmas and Hogmanay so this video has been a "rerr" find. Thanks so much for uploading. PS: you now have another subscriber.... bell rung and everything... Stay safe in these crazy times.
Hello I am originally from Aberdeen now living in San Diego ! I do all the cooking for my wife and I .I have been buying the meat pies in British. pub / Restaurant in San Diego they are made by a Scots butcher in Florida ,they are not bad but they started getting pricy ( $20.00 for four ) .I was watching a old British war movie on U Tube when I found your recipe for the pies and decided to have a go ,I bought a set of small cake tins ( 4 ins ) and cooked them today ,they came out quite well and will make them again.I am trying to figure out how to include a picture .Anyway Thank you very much for sharing your recipe.Tom Gibson .
I was excited to read “in a Scottish pub in San Diego” as my son lives in Coronado. Then I saw they actually came from FL. Nonetheless, it’s worth a stop and a go, right! Thanks ! I’m also going to use this recipe for the “real deal”.
Whats for tea..... thank you very , very much !!! Made them today and they are superb. Exact same taste as a bakers in Scotland. I managed to get all of the ingredients here in Thailand. Been missing these for years. Thank you again , braw
I so enjoy your videos and the lovely things that you cook for your family. Your voice is so warm and friendly it's as if I'm chatting with a friend overseas. I will surely try some of your recipes. Thank you for sharing with all of us..
Thank you so much for this and all your videos, I'm from Scotland, been in Australia for quite a long time and I have now made Scotch Pies, they turned out perfect
Mmmm !!! They look so good. I live in North London and apparently Morrison's are the only place you can buy a Scotch Pie in this part of the world. I went out of my way to a few of their branches (as it's not my usual place to shop) but wasn't successful. I remember having them as I was growing up, my Mother bought them from small independent bakeries but most of those are now closed and have become artisan bakers or Greggs. I live in hope 😉
I've made these awesome pies twice now since discovering this recipe last month (March '21). We just love the flavor, and they turned out exactly like the video. Success because you gave excellent instructions! I used a little more lamb, only 16 oz packages available. Couldn't find the spice Mace anywhere, so substituted nutmeg, but only used 1/4 t (personal taste, will try adding more in the future). I've found these freeze well... double wrap in plastic wrap and place in locking freezer bag. Defrost in the fridge. To reheat, cut pie in 4 pieces, place in covered glass casserole in 325 F oven for 1/2 hour. It was nice to have an option on an I don't feel like cooking night. My husband (I'm Gwenyth, wife of Andrew) loves this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Now in the 🇺🇸 they run up to $19.99 for a dozen and they always runout at the highland games. Since the local scottish butcher has passed on (1970) online is the only way to get them. Always looked for the traditional spices your the first to list them and I'm thrilled! Thanks for all your time and love the shots of home.
Walking through Stirling 20 years ago First time north of the boarder Saw a flock of these in the corners of the butcher’s window Hmmmmm they look nice Had one Had another Took another two back to uni ☺️☺️🤗🤗 Beautiful so nice 👍
Oh my gosh! So happy to have found our channel. I lived in the UK for a time and my Scottish mother-in-law turned me on to so many wonderful traditional foods. I miss them so. Can't wait to give this a try
Cheryl, just watched your Scotch pie recipe, getting harder and harder to find decent ones in Glasgow. So will have a go at making yours. Got my traditional scottish recipes book by my side.
Cheryl, you and your wee channel are truly delightful. Delicious recipes, beautiful scenery, and down to earth presentations are a bright spot in the day!
I'm going in! I am going to make these for a family Christmas pre-dinner. Who am I kidding, I'm making these for me and my nephew. Somewhere in the wilds of the American South, I got hooked on Scottish Meat Pies. I think it is the hot water pastry and mace. Like Grandmaw would make... but exotic. I am also going to throw in some nutmeg. Great video!
I don't have too many opportunities to travel much so the way I like to get a sense of another country is through food. I just made this. Literally just finished eating it. This is SO delicious! Never had a pastry like this before! I can almost FEEL the Scottish wind when I took them out of the oven! (granted, I imagine that it's much cooler there...lol) Thank you for sharing a little bit of Scotland with us!
I live in Canada, but grew up on these thanks to my Scottish Da. Got sick and tired of them for quite a while, but darn it, I’m back to really enjoying them again. We just don’t have them as often.
@@gnomevoyeur the Aussie pork pie is similar in form and uses the same hot water paste but the taste is completely different. If you asked the butcher/baker to use mutton seasoned with mace, pepper (plenty) and salt, you'd be closer. Although, I've not seen the pastry rolled as thin in Oz when I was back packing, as in Scotland and the North of England. Aussie pies I've tasted in different places are closer to English pies.
Cheryl, I iove these videos. I live in the French Alps, in the small village. Frequently impressing relatives and friends with your recipes, I will be sunk if someone else learns to speak English and watches your channel.
Hi, There are quite a few Scottish cookery books around. You could give them a search. One of the best things about this channel is that the recipes are so well videos and explained, and I say this both as a Chef and a Scotsman. All the best to you and yours. Rab
Cheryl, thanks so much for this recipe. Since having to move south (😢) its been near impossible to find our scotch pies, and we do miss them, so finding this recipe has been heaven-sent i can tell you. It is possible to purchase a famous bakery brands "scotch pies" in Iceland but I completely refuse to pay nearly £7 for 4 small pies 🤯. Your recipe is absolutely delicious, xx
Great video, thank you and they look so tempting. I used to come up regularly to Glasgow very six weeks & found a really good shop selling these & they were so tasty.😊
Hi I have just made some of your lovely Scottish pies for my lovely Scottish wife and we loved them and they are as good if not better than pies in Scotland thanks very much .Happy new year Kevbo&Jackie
I'm a Yank, but at heart I seem to be very Scottish. I will definitely give these a try! I'm not a great cook, but I AM a great eater, so it's worth investing some effort in baking these! Thank you.
I had lots of these over a week-long Beer Festival in Nairn in 2011, they were great! The chef also used Haggis and stuffing in different pies, they were great too! I've got to give this a go like you say so simple to make, but stunning to eat!
I made these last year at Xmas, I also added some chopped haggis with the meat , not traditional i know but it really worked. They went down a storm on Xmas day evening and Boxing Day, cold with some pickles etc
And all over England too, Cheryl! I love those pies. I grew up eating the lamb ones as a kid - best thing in the world. I had to add wow much my mouth was watering watching your video. :)
What a superbly detailed and interesting masterclass there , I really miss these from home and you’ve made it possible for me to have a go at making them now - thank you so much from a guy 3 years in the future 😀 👍🏴
It looks nice so I’ll have a go. However, I was surprised for the teaspoon of PEPPER! Was that right? It seems a lot of pepper for 300g of mince. I would appreciate of your time to confirm the quantity of pepper. Many thanks. David
Hi David…you’re right! 🙂 it does make the pies quite peppery! If you don’t want them noticeably peppery, I would suggest using 1/2 a teaspoon instead.
@@WhatsForTea one Table spoon is better
They are supposed to be peppery. I just made mine double batch, sooooooooo good!
They look lovely just like me mum made!😁✌
I use a couple of ladles worth
I'm from the US originally but lived in Scotland for a year as a kid, and these were my absolute favourites. I missed them so much that when I was in college (in New York) I called the Scottish consulate to ask where I could find them! Now I live in Edinburgh and will never lack for Scotch pies again.
Love your pie story mate ,inspired . Mon ra pies .
The Scottish consulate !?
Now you can make your own
@@callumclark3358 Really -- Scotland is not independent yet!
@@VLind-uk6mb Well, no, the reference to the “Scottish consulate “ is intriguing. It’s a nice story though, whoever he called.

Keep it up! I love your videos!
I grew up in Luton and used to have Scotch pies for lunch in a local cafe regularly - a real nostalgia trip watching the video - thanks.
I grew up in Luton too, but never knew that Scotch pies were available there.
They look delicious. Quite a reminder of my youth. Thank you so much for that.

Love scotch pies I can only buy them in Morrisons when they haven't sold out in East Midlands, they look perfect cheryl
Thank you for doing this recipe...
Brings back memories off eating these in Glasgow with my departed friend.. xx
Thanks for the wonderful video. My .02c, or maybe I should say .02 pence: The white pepper is the secret ingredient. My Scottish grandparents would also use oats mixed into the the mince with sweet onion. The cool thing is that there are a lot of different takes on how to make them. Granddad use to also use a quarter teaspoon of ground ginger and coriander. I further modified the recipe by sometime use ground bison. I will often make a double batch and use the traditional ground lamb, one pound, with one pound of the bison.
Thank you so much for this. I lived in Scotland for several years (long ago) and Scotch Pie is one my favorite foods. I've tried to making them myself from similar recipes but technique was never really covered whereas your video is just perfect in showing me exactly how to do it right.

They're definitely worth the time they take!!
My sons and I LOVED them. My husband, the one who grew up eating them, loved the crust, which he was most concerned with, but not crazy about the filling. He's looking for an exact match to the pies he grew up with in Utah, and that's not going to happen. They were made in a factory and full of soy.
Here in the US, lamb and mutton aren't readily available and are pretty expensive when you can find them, so I used half ground beef and half ground pork and had them with homemade chili over them. (Made chili last night just for this 😁)

That pastry rolled out beautifully.

My ancestry is Dundee and I’d like to do a beef version. I think lamb is too greasy. Is it the same as this, just with the meat switched out?
Just made these for my parents. Both scottish. A real taste of home. Absolutely smashing. It is very easy to follow and a lovely scots accent to boot❤
Been in Australia for 4 years now, and you made me realise I REALLY miss Scotch pies.
Omaristalis The missing doesn't go away, I have been in Australia for 20 years and still miss these pies lol
If you live in the Brisbane area you can get pies , birdies from Syd’s pies on the pacific Highway. No Binleeigh
How it going after 8 years now

bulletsholes I suspect that in commercial versions it would be more breadcrumb than meat!
bulletsholes a little salt, more pepper.
Looks so delish! I'll take a baker's dozen ... for breakfast!
Hello! I do not generally use mace. What does it do to your lamb or mutton?
Love your videos Cheryl! We moved from Scotland to Yorkshire 6 years ago and are always bringing pies, square sausage etc home with us when we visit. Now I can make my own 😋 tonight I made my first macaroni pies and creamy chicken soup from your recipes, turned out fab! Scotch pies next 😊

I bet these would be tasty with a nice gravy too. I have never had a scotch pie, but am sure I would love it. Thanks for another wonderful recipe.
No! Definitely not gravy. Use ketchup...to die for.
@@m.g.n4898 my husband would add ketchup, bbq sauce or steak sauce. I think I would like the gravy better.

That's possibly the easiest to understand version of the recipe I've come across and will try at the weekend! I could listen to your voice all day!
I am trying this for sure. I was just looking for a scotch pie recipe couple days ago too. Thanks loads. Brilliant tea as always
I’ve just tried these as I’m Scottish and live in Spain and they are difficult to find. They are fantastic and a real taste of home.
Thank you so much from Canada ,,,mmm scotch pies one of my favourite foods ever 💙
I haven't had Scotch Pie for years and they look amazing
Haven't tasted one since I was a wee lad of four; gonna make one this month!!
Now in the 🇺🇸 they run up to $19.99 for a dozen and they always runout at the highland games. Since the local scottish butcher has passed on (1970) online is the only way to get them. Always looked for the traditional spices your the first to list them and I'm thrilled! Thanks for all your time and love the shots of home.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I'm going to surprise my Mom with this meal... she is going to love it!
Walking through Stirling 20 years ago First time north of the boarder Saw a flock of these in the corners of the butcher’s window Hmmmmm they look nice Had one Had another Took another two back to uni ☺️☺️🤗🤗 Beautiful so nice 👍
Oh my gosh! So happy to have found our channel. I lived in the UK for a time and my Scottish mother-in-law turned me on to so many wonderful traditional foods. I miss them so. Can't wait to give this a try
Cheryl, just watched your Scotch pie recipe, getting harder and harder to find decent ones in Glasgow. So will have a go at making yours. Got my traditional scottish recipes book by my side.
I love Scotland. Listening to the lady's beautiful Scottish accent. Makes me dream. "Bye for now"
Cheryl, you and your wee channel are truly delightful. Delicious recipes, beautiful scenery, and down to earth presentations are a bright spot in the day!
I'm going in! I am going to make these for a family Christmas pre-dinner. Who am I kidding, I'm making these for me and my nephew.
Somewhere in the wilds of the American South, I got hooked on Scottish Meat Pies. I think it is the hot water pastry and mace. Like Grandmaw would make... but exotic. I am also going to throw in some nutmeg.
Great video!
I don't have too many opportunities to travel much so the way I like to get a sense of another country is through food.
I just made this. Literally just finished eating it.
This is SO delicious! Never had a pastry like this before!
I can almost FEEL the Scottish wind when I took them out of the oven! (granted, I imagine that it's much cooler there...lol)
Thank you for sharing a little bit of Scotland with us!
Thank you! These are are loved by this guy in Birmingham. I love Scotland!
Great job on your simplistic style, Thank you for this.
Absolutely just love your channel and simple tasty recipes, you have now got a new number 1 fan .from wee Rab.
That pie crust recipe is very intriguing!
Thank you for this beautiful recipe! what beautiful scenery at the end of the video too, WoW!
I’m drooling as I watch!!!! Great explanation!!! Thank you !!
I've never tried a scotch pie before, so I'm definitely going to make them, I love this channel!
Love Australia. ❤️
It looks so different to traditional Australian pies but maybe a beef version of a pork pie that we can sometimes find.
@@gnomevoyeur it's nothing like a pork pie, but I can understand why you would think that. 😋😋
I live in Canada, but grew up on these thanks to my Scottish Da. Got sick and tired of them for quite a while, but darn it, I’m back to really enjoying them again. We just don’t have them as often.
@@gnomevoyeur the Aussie pork pie is similar in form and uses the same hot water paste but the taste is completely different. If you asked the butcher/baker to use mutton seasoned with mace, pepper (plenty) and salt, you'd be closer. Although, I've not seen the pastry rolled as thin in Oz when I was back packing, as in Scotland and the North of England. Aussie pies I've tasted in different places are closer to English pies.
Cheryl, I iove these videos. I live in the French Alps, in the small village.
Frequently impressing relatives and friends with your recipes, I will be sunk if someone else learns to speak English and watches your channel.
Hi, There are quite a few Scottish cookery books around. You could give them a search. One of the best things about this channel is that the recipes are so well videos and explained, and I say this both as a Chef and a Scotsman. All the best to you and yours. Rab
Cheryl, thanks so much for this recipe. Since having to move south (😢) its been near impossible to find our scotch pies, and we do miss them, so finding this recipe has been heaven-sent i can tell you. It is possible to purchase a famous bakery brands "scotch pies" in Iceland but I completely refuse to pay nearly £7 for 4 small pies 🤯. Your recipe is absolutely delicious, xx
Amazing for a first - or any attempt! Great video
Great video, thank you and they look so tempting. I used to come up regularly to Glasgow very six weeks & found a really good shop selling these & they were so tasty.😊
Love this video. You have shown how easy it is to make. Thank you so very much☆
Hi I have just made some of your lovely Scottish pies for my lovely Scottish wife and we loved them and they are as good if not better than pies in Scotland thanks very much .Happy new year Kevbo&Jackie
I'm a Yank, but at heart I seem to be very Scottish. I will definitely give these a try! I'm not a great cook, but I AM a great eater, so it's worth investing some effort in baking these! Thank you.
Tried this recipe today and it worked perfectly! 😋
I had lots of these over a week-long Beer Festival in Nairn in 2011, they were great! The chef also used Haggis and stuffing in different pies, they were great too!
I've got to give this a go like you say so simple to make, but stunning to eat!
Ah Nairn a town full of the Fraser clan known to be the place where English is properly spoken.
Thank you so much.. So easy to make. My fiancé who loves these pies said the flavour was spot on and better than shop bought !
Thanks for the Scotch pie video. I've not seen them for about 30years. Used to love 'em. Now on the lookout.
I just found this channel. Looks great, love the Scottish accent. My family immigrated to Canada from Scotland 5 generations ago. I wish I was closer.
I made these last year at Xmas, I also added some chopped haggis with the meat , not traditional i know but it really worked. They went down a storm on Xmas day evening and Boxing Day, cold with some pickles etc
And all over England too, Cheryl! I love those pies. I grew up eating the lamb ones as a kid - best thing in the world. I had to add wow much my mouth was watering watching your video. :)
They look brilliant I'm going to try this thanks !
Thank you for sharing these wonderful Scottish recipes with us
The scenery is stunning.
Live down south now and have them sent down, first time I’ve seen them homemade 👍
What a superbly detailed and interesting masterclass there , I really miss these from home and you’ve made it possible for me to have a go at making them now - thank you so much from a guy 3 years in the future 😀
👍🏴
Looks delicious.. We have gone to Highland Games here in the US and have had these and we absolutely love them.. Greetings From Pennsylvania, USA
I loved your pork pie recipe (did not make yet) and Scottish language.
I am from Finland I will make them and these soon!
I fell in love with these pies when I was up in Kippen on my holidays, thank you sooo much for this recipe
