]]> Warm, hearty, and brimming with earthy flavors, mushroom and chestnut pie is a comforting dish that satisfies both vegetarians and meat lovers alike. This delectable pie combines the rich umami of mushrooms with the nutty sweetness of chestnuts, enveloped in a flaky pastry crust. Whether enjoyed as a cozy dinner centerpiece or served at a festive gathering, this pie is guaranteed to evoke feelings of warmth and contentment with every savory bite. Follow this simple recipe to create your own mushroom and chestnut pie.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 500g of mixed mushrooms (such as button, cremini, and shiitake), sliced
  • 200g of cooked chestnuts, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 200ml vegetable broth
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 sheet of store-bought puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a pie dish or baking dish and set aside. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the chopped chestnuts and fresh thyme leaves, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine, allowing the flour to cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a savory gravy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Transfer the mushroom and chestnut filling to the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly. Roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit the top of the pie dish. Place the pastry over the filling and trim any excess pastry around the edges. Crimp the edges of the pastry to seal.
  5. Brush the top of the pastry with beaten egg to create a golden glaze. Using a sharp knife, make a few small slits in the center of the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
  6. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice the pie into portions and serve warm, accompanied by your favorite side dishes or a crisp green salad.

]]> Treat yourself with the perfect combination of zesty lemon and fluffy meringue by crafting a homemade lemon meringue pie. This classic dessert, with its buttery crust, tangy lemon filling, and billowy meringue topping, is sure to be a showstopper at any gathering. Follow this recipe to create a delectable pie that captures the essence of sweet indulgence.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 tablespoons ice water
  • 1/4 cup of cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cups of water
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough starts to come together.
  2. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, shape it into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Roll out the chilled dough and fit it into a pie dish. Trim excess and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork and chill for another 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Blind bake the crust with parchment and pie weights for 15 minutes, then remove weights and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden.
  4. In a saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add water, whisking to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks. Gradually whisk in some of the hot sugar mixture to temper the eggs. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook until it thickens. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and butter. Pour the lemon filling into the baked pie crust.
  6. In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, and continue beating until glossy stiff peaks form. Add vanilla extract and gently fold in.
  7. Spoon the meringue over the lemon filling, making sure it reaches the crust to create a seal. Use the back of a spoon to create peaks on the meringue.
  8. Bake the pie at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown. Allow the pie to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours. Slice and enjoy the tangy sweetness of your homemade lemon meringue pie!

]]> If you are as psyched as we are for Thanksgiving you’re probably already preparing your turkey day menu. The clocks have turned back, the days are shorter, and nights are colder, but we’ve got you covered with some warm and vibrant flavors to keep you toasty. Keep reading to see what you should have this Thanksgiving.

Turkey

Obviously, no Thanksgiving is complete without a turkey! Turkey is juicy and flavorful and can be cooked with a melange of vibrant flavors. We recommend switching it up this year with a new recipe!

Green Bean Casserole

If you’re from the North, you’re probably rolling your eyes right now. Green bean casserole is a staple in southern cooking and is sure to delight your guests this season, even if they have never had it. This delightful recipe will be a wonderful addition to your festive turkey.

Sausage and Apple Stuffing

It sounds a bit overkill to stuff stuff with more stuffing, but trust us on this one. Make good use of some of those leftover apples from this fall and whip up this recipe alongside your turkey!

Butternut Squash Pie

We’ve incorporated this recipe on the menu because it’s a little off the beaten path. If you’re feeling like sticking to tradition though, whip up a pumpkin pie or mash up some sweet potato.

Cherry Pie

End your night and cleanse your palette with a delicious and tart cherry pie. This pie will complement the rest of the meal and will taste great with a side of freshly brewed coffee!

]]> Pie for dessert is a Thanksgiving tradition that can be traced all the way back to the 18th century. Each year on the fourth Thursday in November, you’d be hard-pressed to find a table in America without some variation of this classic treat. While we’d never say no to a warm slice of apple, we’re also firm believers that variety is the pumpkin spice of life and prefer to include more than just pie in our Thanksgiving dessert offerings. If you can relate, read on for some of the treats you’ll find on our table this year. 

Brown Butter Maple Pumpkin Cookies

No Thanksgiving table would be complete without a little pumpkin, but if pie isn’t your thing, these cookies by Butternut Bakery make for a great alternative. Made with brown butter, spices, and plenty of fresh pumpkins, they’re packed with seasonal flavor and have a deliciously chewy texture that’s hard to resist. 

Apple Spice Cupcakes

As much as we love caramel apples, they can be a bit of a challenge to eat. Rather than forgo one of our favorite fall treats, we turn to this recipe by Sally’s Baking Addiction. With a spiced apple cake base and a dollop of salted caramel frosting on top, they’ve got all of the flavors we know and love in a package that’s much easier to consume.

Tahini Sweet Potato Blondies

For guests with dietary restrictions at your table, you can’t go wrong with this blondie recipe by Minimalist Baker. Japanese sweet potatoes serve as a fun, yet unexpected alternative to pumpkin, while tahini and chocolate chunks add an element of indulgence. Per MB standards, they’re also 100% vegan and gluten-free.

  3. Once the pears are soft, add the wine to the fruit. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.

  4. Fill the pie with the mix and bake until the pastry is golden.

]]> When the leaves turn brown and the air turns crisp, there are few desserts that hit the spot more than a good old fashioned apple pie. Whether for dessert at Thanksgiving or just because, it’s a great way to enjoy something warm and indulgent while making use of seasonal produce. While you can certainly go with a store-bought pie, baking from scratch allows for more control over the ingredients, with the bonus of making your kitchen smell like a bakery. Read on for some tips to take your apple pie game to the next level.

Choose the Right Apples

To create a pie with a balanced flavor profile, opt for a blend of sweet and tart apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn. Sweeter varieties will give your pie a dessert-like feel and enhance the flavors of the sugar and spices, while tart apples will keep things light by serving as a bold, zingy contrast. Experiment with different combinations until you find one that you love. 

Precook Your Apples

The key to a perfect apple pie lies in the texture of the filling. Precooking your apples before adding them to your crust will give them a tender, melt-in-your-mouth consistency and help to prevent a soggy bottom crust. Just slice and sauté in a pan with some butter, sugar, and spices until they begin to soften and release their juices.

Elevate the Flavors

Choosing the right apples is only the first step in making your apple pie filling. Once you’ve decided which varieties to use, play around with adding other ingredients such as citrus zest, cinnamon, or even a little bourbon to enhance the flavor and give your pie an unforgettable taste.

After all, we have veggie burgers and sausages, don’t we? So check out this vegan shepherd’s pie recipe that is just as hearty and yummy as the original, and isn’t even that hard to cook.

  • Vegetable stock

Once cooked, drain and mash the potatoes. Add vegan butter and season with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add your garlic and onions and saute for about five minutes. Add tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Add lentils and vegetable stock.

]]> Warm, hearty, and brimming with earthy flavors, mushroom and chestnut pie is a comforting dish that satisfies both vegetarians and meat lovers alike. This delectable pie combines the rich umami of mushrooms with the nutty sweetness of chestnuts, enveloped in a flaky pastry crust. Whether enjoyed as a cozy dinner centerpiece or served at a festive gathering, this pie is guaranteed to evoke feelings of warmth and contentment with every savory bite. Follow this simple recipe to create your own mushroom and chestnut pie.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 500g of mixed mushrooms (such as button, cremini, and shiitake), sliced
  • 200g of cooked chestnuts, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 200ml vegetable broth
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 sheet of store-bought puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a pie dish or baking dish and set aside. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the chopped chestnuts and fresh thyme leaves, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine, allowing the flour to cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a savory gravy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Transfer the mushroom and chestnut filling to the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly. Roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit the top of the pie dish. Place the pastry over the filling and trim any excess pastry around the edges. Crimp the edges of the pastry to seal.
  5. Brush the top of the pastry with beaten egg to create a golden glaze. Using a sharp knife, make a few small slits in the center of the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
  6. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice the pie into portions and serve warm, accompanied by your favorite side dishes or a crisp green salad.

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a pie dish. In a large pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced leeks, diced carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, ensuring a smooth consistency. Allow the mixture to thicken.
  3. Add shredded chicken, frozen peas, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the sauce. Stir until well combined and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Roll out one pie crust and line the bottom of the pie dish. Pour the chicken and leek filling over the crust.
  5. Roll out the second pie crust and cover the filling. Seal the edges and cut slits on the top to allow steam to escape.
  6. Brush the top crust with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

]]> Take your comfort food experience to new heights with this hearty chicken and leek pie. Share the warmth and richness of this dish with loved ones for a memorable dining experience.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 leeks
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups of chicken broth
  • 1 cup of whole milk
  • 1/2 cup of frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup of sliced carrots
  • 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 package (2 sheets) of store-bought puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add sliced leeks and sauté until softened. Sprinkle flour over the leeks, stirring to create a roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes to eliminate the raw taste of the flour.
  3. Gradually pour in chicken broth and milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens. Add the cooked chicken, frozen peas, sliced carrots, and chopped parsley to the skillet. Stir to combine. Season the filling with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer for a few more minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Roll out one sheet of puff pastry and line the bottom of a pie dish. Pour the chicken and leek filling into the pastry-lined dish. Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and place it over the filling. Trim any excess pastry and press the edges to seal. Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  5. Cut a few slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy the sumptuous goodness of your homemade chicken and leek pie.

]]> Treat yourself with the perfect combination of zesty lemon and fluffy meringue by crafting a homemade lemon meringue pie. This classic dessert, with its buttery crust, tangy lemon filling, and billowy meringue topping, is sure to be a showstopper at any gathering. Follow this recipe to create a delectable pie that captures the essence of sweet indulgence.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 tablespoons ice water
  • 1/4 cup of cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cups of water
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough starts to come together.
  2. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, shape it into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Roll out the chilled dough and fit it into a pie dish. Trim excess and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork and chill for another 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Blind bake the crust with parchment and pie weights for 15 minutes, then remove weights and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden.
  4. In a saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add water, whisking to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks. Gradually whisk in some of the hot sugar mixture to temper the eggs. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook until it thickens. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and butter. Pour the lemon filling into the baked pie crust.
  6. In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, and continue beating until glossy stiff peaks form. Add vanilla extract and gently fold in.
  7. Spoon the meringue over the lemon filling, making sure it reaches the crust to create a seal. Use the back of a spoon to create peaks on the meringue.
  8. Bake the pie at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown. Allow the pie to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours. Slice and enjoy the tangy sweetness of your homemade lemon meringue pie!

]]> If you are as psyched as we are for Thanksgiving you’re probably already preparing your turkey day menu. The clocks have turned back, the days are shorter, and nights are colder, but we’ve got you covered with some warm and vibrant flavors to keep you toasty. Keep reading to see what you should have this Thanksgiving.

Turkey

Obviously, no Thanksgiving is complete without a turkey! Turkey is juicy and flavorful and can be cooked with a melange of vibrant flavors. We recommend switching it up this year with a new recipe!

Green Bean Casserole

If you’re from the North, you’re probably rolling your eyes right now. Green bean casserole is a staple in southern cooking and is sure to delight your guests this season, even if they have never had it. This delightful recipe will be a wonderful addition to your festive turkey.

Sausage and Apple Stuffing

It sounds a bit overkill to stuff stuff with more stuffing, but trust us on this one. Make good use of some of those leftover apples from this fall and whip up this recipe alongside your turkey!

Butternut Squash Pie

We’ve incorporated this recipe on the menu because it’s a little off the beaten path. If you’re feeling like sticking to tradition though, whip up a pumpkin pie or mash up some sweet potato.

Cherry Pie

End your night and cleanse your palette with a delicious and tart cherry pie. This pie will complement the rest of the meal and will taste great with a side of freshly brewed coffee!

]]> Pie for dessert is a Thanksgiving tradition that can be traced all the way back to the 18th century. Each year on the fourth Thursday in November, you’d be hard-pressed to find a table in America without some variation of this classic treat. While we’d never say no to a warm slice of apple, we’re also firm believers that variety is the pumpkin spice of life and prefer to include more than just pie in our Thanksgiving dessert offerings. If you can relate, read on for some of the treats you’ll find on our table this year. 

Brown Butter Maple Pumpkin Cookies

No Thanksgiving table would be complete without a little pumpkin, but if pie isn’t your thing, these cookies by Butternut Bakery make for a great alternative. Made with brown butter, spices, and plenty of fresh pumpkins, they’re packed with seasonal flavor and have a deliciously chewy texture that’s hard to resist. 

Apple Spice Cupcakes

As much as we love caramel apples, they can be a bit of a challenge to eat. Rather than forgo one of our favorite fall treats, we turn to this recipe by Sally’s Baking Addiction. With a spiced apple cake base and a dollop of salted caramel frosting on top, they’ve got all of the flavors we know and love in a package that’s much easier to consume.

Tahini Sweet Potato Blondies

For guests with dietary restrictions at your table, you can’t go wrong with this blondie recipe by Minimalist Baker. Japanese sweet potatoes serve as a fun, yet unexpected alternative to pumpkin, while tahini and chocolate chunks add an element of indulgence. Per MB standards, they’re also 100% vegan and gluten-free.

  3. Once the pears are soft, add the wine to the fruit. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.

  4. Fill the pie with the mix and bake until the pastry is golden.

]]> When the leaves turn brown and the air turns crisp, there are few desserts that hit the spot more than a good old fashioned apple pie. Whether for dessert at Thanksgiving or just because, it’s a great way to enjoy something warm and indulgent while making use of seasonal produce. While you can certainly go with a store-bought pie, baking from scratch allows for more control over the ingredients, with the bonus of making your kitchen smell like a bakery. Read on for some tips to take your apple pie game to the next level.

Choose the Right Apples

To create a pie with a balanced flavor profile, opt for a blend of sweet and tart apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn. Sweeter varieties will give your pie a dessert-like feel and enhance the flavors of the sugar and spices, while tart apples will keep things light by serving as a bold, zingy contrast. Experiment with different combinations until you find one that you love. 

Precook Your Apples

The key to a perfect apple pie lies in the texture of the filling. Precooking your apples before adding them to your crust will give them a tender, melt-in-your-mouth consistency and help to prevent a soggy bottom crust. Just slice and sauté in a pan with some butter, sugar, and spices until they begin to soften and release their juices.

Elevate the Flavors

Choosing the right apples is only the first step in making your apple pie filling. Once you’ve decided which varieties to use, play around with adding other ingredients such as citrus zest, cinnamon, or even a little bourbon to enhance the flavor and give your pie an unforgettable taste.

]]> Okay, so shepherd’s pie might be defined as a minced meat pie topped with mashed potato, but just because meat is usually central to this dish doesn’t mean that you can’t create a vegan version. After all, we have veggie burgers and sausages, don’t we? So check out this vegan shepherd’s pie recipe that is just as hearty and yummy as the original, and isn’t even that hard to cook.

Ingredients

  • Potatoes
  • Vegan butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Olive oil
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Tomato paste
  • Lentils
  • Vegetable stock
  • Peas
  • Carrots
  • Green beans
  • Corn
  • Alternatively, a bag of frozen mixed veggies

Directions

Roughly dice your potatoes and place them into a large pot. Fill with water until they’re covered and bring to a boil. Add the salt, cover, and cook until they’re fork-soft.

In the meantime, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a large baking dish with oil. Chop your onions and mince your garlic.

Once cooked, drain and mash the potatoes. Add vegan butter and season with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add your garlic and onions and saute for about five minutes. Add tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Add lentils and vegetable stock. Stir and bring to a low boil. Simmer until lentils are cooked through, about 40 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until any excess liquid cooks off.

Add the peas, carrots, green beans, and corn and cook for a final ten minutes.

Put the cooked lentils and veggie mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with mashed potatoes. Smooth down and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
