TV chef Tom Kerridge selling £60 fish pie that's dubbed 'utterly comforting'
Here's one way for a celebrity chef to make some extra dough … TV star Tom Kerridge is flogging a ready-made fish pie for £60.
The 49-year-old, who last year complained that soaring food prices are leaving consumers with little spare cash, sells the dish to the homes of well-heeled diners.
One pie serves four, so it works out at £15 a portion which makes it unlikely ordinary households struggling with the cost of living could afford it.
And it is more than 30 times the price of supermarket best-seller Young's Admiral's Pie at £1.75.
Still, the dish is at least "indulgent and utterly comforting", according to its description.

The Family Saffron Fish Pie is made at Tom's Michelin-starred pub The Coach in Marlow, Bucks, before being shipped out.
It is sold through Dishpatch, a meal kit delivery service that specialises in fine dining.
The pie is served in a white wine cream sauce with herbs, peas and capers and topped with "a blanket of fluffy mash".
Dishpatch said: "This fish pie for four is packed with seasonal fish, smoked haddock for flavour and texture and salmon for richness.

It comes as Brits are cutting back on meals out and takeaways, according to The Grocer.
Last year, Tom told how one of his pubs had been hit by a 700% rise in energy bills as hospitality faced a struggle in the costs crisis.
He said: "Consumers have less money because of food and price inflation."
