Top Ten Pie Recipes

Pie is the perfect winter food. The only thing that keeps us going until March is pastry. It's all that butter that's keeping us warm, not the fact that the central heating is up so high that we're starting to frizz. Frankly, we're not sure what we'd do without pies.

Here are our top ten pie, tart and pasty recipes - sweet and savoury, of course.

Steak, wild mushroom and ale. This pie is like a perfect Sunday with a puff pastry hat. It goes really well with our Stilton pastry.

Stilton, broccoli and chicken pie. Speaking of Stilton, it works well right in the pie as well.

Beef and chestnut pie. It's the perfect time of year for chestnuts. Make the most of them before they're all gone.

Chicken and asparagus pasties (pictured). We just want to wrap everything in pastry, it's that kind of weather. You can even make mini chicken tikka pasties. We've got a gluten free shortcrust pastry recipe as well.

Pear and vanilla crumblepie. Actually, crumblepie might be one of the best things in the entire world.

Chocolate ganache pie. Want to impress your friends but only have five minutes to make dessert? This is what you make.

Pumpkin pie. Have we missed the pumpkin boat? We don't care, pumkin pie is tasty.

Pecan Pie. The perfect alternative to Christmas pudding. Or you could make these little gluten free walnut and maple tarts.

Banoffee Pie. You can't have a pie top ten without banoffee, it's against the laws of pie (that we just made up).

The Apple Pie Flip. Actually, this isn't pie. This is an apple pie cocktail. Woohoo!
