Cooking on an Esse | A Walk Before the Pie

- I am cooking on the Esse Ironheart, a wood burning stove. I think it very English to bake your own pie. But first I need to work up an appetite!
My videos are about searching for what England means to me. It is a personal journey.

I think you have a ghost, Richard. ;) When you were talking at 15:44 a hand appears and moves a mug in the top left of the screen!
That’s exactly what the original homeowner did just before he went and stood on the doorstep, where he died. He goes through the daily ritual of putting his mug down and goes to the door step where he collapses and dies. Richard spoke about him a few videos back - maybe he doesn’t like pie and went outside for some air.
Omg, I didn't notice that until you mentioned it, I had to go back and look, so creepy 😳👻
Spooky!
Thank you for taking me with you on the walk. The views are amazing.
I like it’s retro style kitchen, very nice
Thank you! 😊
Loved this !!! 👌👌👌
This was wonderful to watch. A lovely walk followed by some enterprising cooking. Top marks to you for giving it a go!
This time of year it often helps to have a pair of choppers in your pocket to deal with bramble smothered paths!
So lovely to see you out walking in nature again…. It’s what first started me following you ! …. Food made with love is what it’s all about sometimes even if the finished product wasn’t how you intended it to be 🙂
Hello Lisa
Looks great. Making me hungry. You are so comical. Great vlog, beautiful walk. Thank you.
Keep up the good work. Nice to see you out and about..
Great stuff thank you Richard. I can understand why that's a favourite walk
Bake the bottom half of pastry first then add filling and top off with the other half of pastry the bake for another half hour until browned. Easy peasy. 😄
You are wasted on TH-cam you should be on one of the TV Channels in some way. These videos are so natural and the unplanned humour is to Gold.
Turners home made pie shop in Broadwater may be the answer next time !!!!!.there are a variety of fillings to choose from as well as corniche pasties and quiche. Just an idea !!!!!x
I’m not going to give you any advice Richard, I am no cook. I haven’t made a pie for years and I tend to use shop bought pastry. So I applaud you for having a go and actually sharing the evidence with us. Some beautiful scenery on the downs especially as you were coming back down the path. Isn’t it amazing what a difference a bit of sunshine makes?
Hello Jerry
One does generally add at least a little water to pastry. And this obsession with not touching it can be taken a little too far, but I would tend to avoid breathing on it, while not suffocating myself in the process. Loved watching; scenery; seeing the device in action and then being made to feel like a chef to boot!
Was so good to see you back out in green surroundings! How did women(mainly) make pastry back in the days before mixers ‐ fingertips, Richard, fingertips!! Maybe a white sauce with the chicken and leeks? Moist ! Well done for trying esp whilst filming :)
A shame it failed but I learnt something!
Nice video thanks Richard 😊
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks. The ending was soooo funny.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just stick everything in the oven and hope for the best, always works ... well sometimes anyway!
Who's noticed how the trees are hanging onto their leaves much longer this year? They haven't even yellowed yet in London.......
I love these new 'story' videos, where you take us with you through a day. I could almost breathe in that fresh air on the downs. Then pie making. What can I say, hilarious. So funny. Liked when you sat on the chair with bits flying haha. It was all the better for us having a jolly good idea it was all going to go horribly wrong. Well done Richard, class act. You should get back on stage 🎭
Thank you
Hello Jackie
I might just have to go and buy a pie now with lashings of gravy. Hungry 🤤
You should!
Great video absolutely loved it, the walk you did was amazing Richard, loved the little narrow footpaths and the lovely berries on the trees starting to bloom, also great cooking aswell, I know the pie diddnt turn out the way you wanted but still you did a good job, deffinatly you should do more videos where your cooking different meals, Cooking with Vobes.
What a glorious walk - beautifully shot, too - as always... (Followed by a pie that looked about as gnarly as if I had made it!!! Haha! ...Ah well, the incentive was good!)
Brilliant! Well done for having a go Richard. 😄
You can rub the pastry with your hands but use just your finger tips as they are cooler than you palms. Less fat more fluid.
Very entertaining, can’t wait to find out what you finally did. 👍
Hello there its just keep it all cool let it rest, in the fridge, shortcrust is half the fat to flour, simple. You are doing well. Any old scraps of bacon 🥓 use up with your leeks mixture. Or even some odd bits of 🧀 cheese
thanks for the tips.
I know I shouldn't laugh but I did . Well done for having a go 👏👏👏👏
Love the ESSE 😍😍 I’m a can’t cook , won’t cook 😂😂😂😂😂 Love the countryside 😍😍
We’re off to the Isle of Wight tomorrow 🥰
Have fun
Get some pictures while you re there to email into Richard
@@markburgess6801 oooh will do!!! We got back today! I never take my phone so had a 4 day detox!
But my partner got some pics!
Good work - Very cool background music at 10:26
Thanks very much
Great video Richard, made us laugh :-)
Hello Lynn
Shame about the pie. Brilliant video though, loved it !
Really enjoyed your walk today. It’s like your older ones and it’s just FUN! Thank you Richard for taking me. Loved seeing all the berries for the birds I’m sure it’s chilling down a bit there. It is here (Arkansas) and you are further north than we are. Are your winters harsh? Ours aren’t to bad. A few really cold days but we are in the south so it’s not to bad.
For your pie, they have a product out called Better Than Bullion and it adds a deeper flavour to your meal. They have vegetable, chicken and beef flavours. I think you’d like it, I don’t know why but I thought a leek was an onion. Maybe not as strong a flavour
Loved this Richard 👍🏻 If you make a pie again just use shop bought pastry and add cream and chopped or dried tarragon to the filling.
What did you and Julia eat in the end?? 🙂 🥧
Perfect Chicken & Leek CRUMBLE.
Add more Fat or Water & Roll out Thinner Then Cook for longer at about 200.
I make Cornish pasties & cook for about 40 mins at 200 or until brown, but not burnt.
I'm intrigued what you did in the end, did you buy another pie or buy some ready made pastry and did you manage to fool Julia? Perhaps we`ll find out in the next vid :)
Really enjoyed
Oh dear!
You should keep a permanent link to Jamie Oliver. He has a good video on making pie crust.
Oh chicken and leak pie. How lovely. I'm more of a half pie girl. Stick the filling in the dish and just add a pastry top. Saves all the blind baking of the pie base. I'm lazy 🤣
Still, the indoors video quality was exquisite. But what do I know...
Lovely shot of that Comma
Hello worms
You can't beat a good pie. Like Bonny says you have to blind bake the shortcrust pastry case first and white sauce in the filling would be good. A brave attempt. The three best pies I have ever eaten are 1. Minced beef and onion pie with mash and parsley liquor from BJ's in Canning Town, London (a bargain) 2. Steak and Fuller's London Pride steak pie at The Sanctuary pub in Westminster (pricey, but superb as you could taste the white pepper. None of that black pepper nonsense) 3. My Mum's Scouse pie. She cooked a vat of Liverpool scouse on a Friday. What we didn't eat was put into a pie on Saturday and the flavour really came out. Took me 30 years to get Mum to write the recipe down. Added Worcestershire and tomato sauce and pickled red cabbage on the side: fantastic. The question is with pies is: should it be shortcrust or flaky pastry? Loved seeing the old cast iron pan on the back of the Esse. My gran used to have one. So heavy that you get a work-out whilst you cook !!!!
Oh No vobes it's a cliffhanger end queue sting and roll dramatic credits don't forget to film the resolve for next video you can't leave us all hanging
Hi Richard,
I wonder if any other sharp eyed viewers had spotted that at 15 minutes and 43 seconds a mug appears on the top left hand side of your fridge, a ghost perhaps or a more earthy explanation in the form of the lovely Julia?
Spooky!
@@RichardVobes I think you should have something like this in every video to keep your viewers concentrating, a sort of latter-day screen test.
Like u walk and Esse cooking the chicken leeks and onions looks nice good try next time u should pancakes with home made mixed fruit good idea
Spooky!, who put the mug on top of the fridge?
I’d be interested if you plan your preambles by time or distance? I tend to focus more on time. Enjoy.👍😄
Is the Esse as good as Rayburn?
Another great tank top Mr Vobes.
The food looks wonderful!
I prefer my Esse to the Rayburn - I had a Rayburn twenty years ago.
@@RichardVobes Still got one...and a black lead range; we usually cook on...a conventional gas cooker...(our Rayburn is gas fired, costs a fortune to run so only provides extra heating in winter, the black lead Chichester Belle is now only coked up occasionally in winter...seems a waste really as it slow-cooked christmas dinner beautifully...)
Just a point you may find interesting.
In the Algarve we have a major shop that just sells Rayburn cookers.
They seem to sell well.
Just as well you have van Morrison’s next door eh ………..!
Enjoy the walk not the pie
I know this walk well.
Do you have asbestos hands or don’t the door catches get hot !
thats a shug and coes pie .
No probs with fuel here in west mids
A wonderful walk, maybe the less said about the pie, the better! 😜 - I think, and I’m no expert, there was too much fat in your pastry
I think there was too much fat in it.
A brave attempt, but you need to follow a recipe !!
Pot noodle anyone??
🤣🤣🤣🤣😭👍🙏
Hello Susan
It tastes disgusting!! Hahaha
The best formula for a round one is πr²
