For the ultimate winter warmer or served with pickle for that lazy summer lunch, you should look no further than the classic pie. A time-honoured favourite in both British and American cuisine, the pie provides a hearty and filling main or perfect end to any meal.
The first pies were said to date back to the times of ancient Egypt and were made using honey wrapped in a pastry made from ground oats or barley. Pies have remained a treasured part of our recipes today and are tasty and filling enough to make them the ultimate comfort food.
In true American style try out Floridian favourite key lime pie or the Thanksgiving staple of sweet pumpkin pie. Similar in texture to cheesecakes, these pies tend to be lighter than the traditional British cherry or apple pies which are made using a short-crust pastry. For the perfect finish serve a pecan pie with a dollop of thick cream and some fresh egg custard for your cherry pie.
