The best pie recipes
You cant beat a hearty pie on a cold winter's day and these are the recipes worth making.
You really can't beat a piping hot pie, straight out of the oven and we think this comforting dish might be one of life's greatest pleasures.
We've got so many delicious pie recipes to choose from: from a classic chicken and mushroom, a hearty beef and ale, to more unique versions like our cheeseburger pie or our pizza pie. No matter what you choose, you're going to be in for a real treat.
A lot of these pies suggest using store-bought shortcrust/puff pastry which is perfect to use if you're short on time and need a speedy supper, but if you do have the time, and want to make the most of a weekend, try your hand at our puff pastry recipe and enjoy the process.
After meat-free pies? We've got you covered with our best vegetarian pie recipes.
