The VegHog got caught in the excitement and has decided to make a different pie every day during the British Pie Week 4.-10.03.2013. It's a challenge but hopefully manageable. Through this action I hope to learn a lot about pie making. British pies are tasty but unfortunately often meaty, so there's also a challenge to try and make innovative vegetarian pies. The VegHog pies won't be entirely British style as the VegHog twist is necessary like always.
In this first pie
entry I'm going to write about a pie making company, Pieminister, to
get into the mood of good pie making. Pieminister was
founded in Bristol in 2003 and they are the makers of several
award-winning pies. Luckily a few of their pies are vegetarian and
some supermarkets stock their pies, but they also have their own
restaurants and market stalls. I've only visited the restaurant in
Oxford and it was a really good experience. They offer a broad range
of Pieminister pies and even mash and peas as a side, and I believe
other things as well.
My absolute
favourite is the Wild Shroom Pie, which consists of wild mushrooms,
asparagus, white wine & cream. It is so shroomy and creamy! I
sometimes like to have decadent weekend breakfasts with it or just
eat it as lunch.
Pieminister also
pulled an evil stunt by making the most delicious and lovely seasonal
pie and then taking it off the market: Christingle Pie with honey
roast parsnip, cheddar cheese and chestnuts. They really made me
addicted to it and now it's not available anymore! Well I certainly
hope it makes a comeback this Christmas.
Find out more
about Pieminister from their website.
Shortly The VegHog starts posting its own pie recipes, so stay tuned. Have a good week
celebrating all things pie!
