    [synopsis] => The quiet, rural, unassuming village of Denby Dale, situated by the river in the Upper Dearne Valley between Huddersfield and Barnsley has a major and unique culinary claim to fame.

Once a generation, a gigantic meat and potato pie is cooked and eaten by the villagers amidst scenes of pomp, splendour and celebration, the occasions of which are attended by many thousands of people.

This book investigates and celebrates the origins of a tradition that dates back more than two hundred years. It examines the people involved, and captures the social history of the village as it developed amidst its pie baking traditions.

Included within this volume are the full details of the twelve ton monster pie cooked in 2000 as well as the complete stories of earlier successes and failures including the riots and disasters connected with some of the previous bakes.

With over 350 photographs, many of which have never been published before, this book represents the definitive history of the Denby Dale Pies.
