There’s little that beats a great pie in my books, and Leanne Beck’s Lamb and Pea Pie ($6.50) generously filled with beautifully cooked lamb pieces and mushy peas surrounded by a classic pastry crust is a great pie. Her Steak Pie ($6.50) is slow-cooked to perfection; and the chunky pieces of pork fillet in her Pork Pie ($6.50) are also pleasing to the palate. Sweet treats are plentiful in this little Woolloomooloo bakery which has small amounts of seating both indoors and outdoors. My favourite was a light and milky White Chocolate Mousse ($5) topped with fresh blueberries. The pastry on her Chocolate Croissant ($2.50) has the requisite shatter when refreshed in a warm oven; her Chocolate Twists ($2.50) are notable for the bitter, ‘grown-up’ chocolate mix. I also enjoyed the moist mini-loaf of Orange and Poppy Seed Friand ($3) baked to a golden crust. Leanne also sells preservative free jams in flavours including Summer Fruits ($9.50) made from lychees, peaches and nectarines. They need to be refrigerated to give them a set texture. Perhaps the only disappointment across my visits was an underwhelming Pumpkin and Fetta Pie ($6.50) but take into account that these days I prefer meat.
