I didn’t enjoy pies until I was in my 30s and I finally tried quality, homemade pies (thank you, Queenstown, New Zealand!). It got me thinking about all the interesting possibilities when it came to fillings – but first I had to master the pie base and process. This recipe is everything I’ve learned about making a foolproof pie base, with links to my favourite pie fillings.

Chicken in creamy mustard sauce
One of my favourite recipes ever (I could drink the sauce, it’s that good!). Pan-seared chicken breasts are smothered in a thick but delicate creamy mustard sauce. This elegant recipe is simple enough for a weeknight but feels special enough for a dinner party.
Duck ragu
Elevate your pasta to a new level with this rich and luxurious duck ragu! Slow cooking makes this easy – the duck legs infuse the sauce with flavour while becoming so tender that the meat will melt in your mouth. This is a great recipe to impress friends and family, but also easy enough to make on a weekday when you’re craving comfort food.
Chicken in creamy mushroom sauce
An absolute favourite pairing, pan fried chicken breast in a thick and creamy mushroom sauce. It’s simple yet delicious, and easier to make than you may think.
Chicken and mushroom risotto
A classic risotto dish that comes together in one pot in less than an hour. The result is comfort food at its finest – creamy, earthy flavours and lots of texture. It’s super easy, and reheats perfectly too!
Easy chicken chimichangas
One of the quickest, easiest dinners ever! Chimichangas are typically fried, but I bake these to save on clean up and calories.
