Forget pastry. Yorkshire pudding pies are now a thing - and they look absolutely amazing.
Created by the family-run business The Yorkshire Pudding Company, the pies here use Yorkshire pudding as their casing.
It all started as a bit of fun in 2017 when co-owner Ted decided to take the family's roast chicken dinner leftovers one step further and turn them into a pie.
However, the experiment was such a hit, the products have been rolled out to the public.

According to the Yorkshire Pudding Pie Company, this is also the world’s first pie to be made in this special way.
The products are hand-crafted in Yorkshire and stuffed with locally sourced ingredients like wagyu beef with cheese or ham and leek.
There's also a chicken and mushroom pie on the menu and another with sausage and red onion marmalade which sounds divine.

The original prototype, the Sunday roast pie, is also available, as is a Shepherds Pie made with lamb mince in a rich lamb gravy with leeks, celery and carrot.
The fanciest pie on offer, though, has to be the Wagyu Steak and Onion which comes finished with lashings of homemade country gravy.
There's even an apple crumble pie - turning the concept on its head as a dessert. Here, juicy apples and sultanas are combined with a topping of oaty crumble under the Yorkshire pudding lid. Brilliant, if you ask us.
Priced from £3.50 each or between £18 to £24 for six pies, you can also order mixed boxes starting from £20.

Award-wining Leeds sandwich shop Silver’s Deli to open neighbourhood bakehouse
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.

Clementine Hall
We've been very excited about this one.
If you know anything about the Leeds food scene, then you'll know the absolute legend that is Chef Fern.
Her first restaurant, Fern Modern Sushi, is a firm favourite amongst locals and visitors alike. Known for their expertly crafted sushi made with the freshest fish on offer.
And now, she's turning her attention to her second venture - Tori Nori.

Tori Nori is a modern Japanese grill and bar inspired by the bustling izakayas of Tokyo.
Everything is centred around the fiery robata grill where guests can watch the chefs cook everything from grilled fish to delicious yakitori skewers right in front of their very eyes.
All designed to share, this is a place to hang out with friends, enjoy some delicious food and maybe sink a few Japanese-inspired cocktails whilst you're at it.

Located on Vicar Lane, the space has had a whole refurb and it's looking fantastic. Complete with perfectly moody lighting, plush banquette seating and beautiful Japanese-inspired wallpaper.
The menu features an entire yakitori menu, from cheesy chicken thighs and pork belly to grilled king prawn and Japanese A5 wagyu all grilled over charcoal.
There's also Fern's signature sushi on the menu, as well as big plates to share such as teryaki half chickens and miso lamb chops.

You just know that everything Fern touches turns to gold but don't just take our word for it, get yourself to Tori Nori and try it out for yourselves.
Tori Nori will officially open its doors on Friday 10 April. Find out more and book your table here.
