That recipe isn't in her cookbook but if you want it you can probably find it online or I could scan it and send it to you. I'm going to keep the recipe but don't know whether I'll ever get around to making it. Me and pastry haven't been getting along too well lately - the disadvantage of having an open plan living / kitchen area. It's either too warm for pastry or too cold for Rolf.

The pie is a Pithivier - an upside pie that has a hole on top where you pour gravy into it. The recipe comes from Nagi (RecipeTin Eats) and looks very complicated. The pie looks amazing Julie. I have made quite a few of Nagi's recipes. Here is the link to the recipe if anyone is interested - Nagi's Pithivier Recipe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the link to the recipe if anyone is interested - Nagi's Pithivier Recipe I use a lot of her recipes too. Mostly really good although sometimes I have to dial some ingredients back a bit: sugar, garlic, bay leaves etc as I find her quantities to much for my palate. I'm having a discussion with a friend over Nagi's Madeleine recipe. She's only used Nagi's so I've sent her mine which is from Larousse Gastronomique. It will be interesting to see which recipe she prefers. Edited June 6, 2023 by OzKiwiJJ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think competitions like these are an excellent idea. Signs for “best pies” in small country towns always make us smile and sometimes stop if it is around meal time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made it look a lot easier to assemble than Nagi's recipe although on MasterChef they had to make the rough puff pastry from scratch. But it's always hard to tell with dishes on MasterChef as the cameras / editors bounce around from one cook to another so you only see snippets of the various stages in making a dish. Nagi provides a full video of the process. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should launch a Save Our Pie campaign! What about all the people who regularly eat pies from their local baker, don't they count? I have never bought pies from supermarkets. Picked up a Freys Pie at Aldi last week but didn't buy it, after reading the contents of the pie. My daughter is working from home today, so I texted her to buy me a pie with mushy pies, for lunch, but she had moussaka already cooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it just before going to do school and kinder pickup for granddaughters and thought I should put the link on here but of course making afternoon tea for children was much more important. I bought a family pie for dinner which was on special at our local bakery for $10. Will have mashed potato and veggies with it and there will be leftovers for lunch tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
