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.

Dill seafood sauce
This is THE best dipping sauce for fresh seafood like prawns and bug. The fresh, herbaceous and tangy flavours complement your seafood without overpowering it.
Pestotore (seafood pasta with pesto)
A spin on the classic pescatore pasta, pesto-tore is richer and bigger in flavour. Delicate seafood is cooked in a creamy white wine sauce finished off with lashings of pesto.
Oysters with garlic butter breadcrumbs
Crunchy breadcrumbs cooked in garlic butter are a great topper for oysters when you want some texture and extra flavour.
Oysters Carbonara
A fancy twist on oysters that’ll be sure to impress your guests! The creamy pasta tastes great paired with the saltiness of the oysters, and the topping of crispy jamon provides another textural contrast.
Creamy lemon prawn linguine
Creamy and tangy, this one-pot meal comes together quickly and with little fuss. The pasta cooks directly in the rich, lemon-infused cream sauce, and the prawns add a light seafood touch making this a perfect pasta for warmer months.
Seafood chowder
Seafood chowder is perfect for cooler months when you want something creamy and hearty. It’s outwardly decadent, but surprisingly quick and easy to pull together. Use a mixture of your favourite seafood and impress your family and friends tonight.
Mussels with creamy linguine
Mussels are a firm favourite in our house, and pairing them with pasta turns them into a satisfying meal. Add crusty bread to mop up all of that rich, creamy sauce infused with white wine, garlic and shallots.
Pescatore pasta (seafood pasta)
This seafood pasta is decadently rich and packed with luscious creamy flavours, but it’s deceptively quick and easy to make. It’s perfect for a special occasion or just when you feel like indulging in delicious pasta fare.
