My Version of Paul Hollywood’s Mince Pies

January 4, 2018 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

Making Paul Hollywood‘s mince pies from the BBC’s Great British Baking Show’s holiday special should have been easy. It was more like a blind bake. Mincemeat pies say “Christmas” to Reg so I wanted to make him some for that special time of year. I had to make some alterations to the recipe to get […]

I know, it was crazy to make a make-ahead pie for a surprise birthday party the SAME DAY as the party! We were supposed to bring either a cake or a pie and I can tell you, all of them take a while to make so I turned to a tried and true recipe and […]

This is the most delicious time of year! Still cool enough to bake a pie and the strawberries and rhubarb are just starting to show up at our local farmers markets. This is our favourite pie and I baked it to enjoy over the long weekend. Thought it was time to add it to my […]

November 26, 2013 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

Until I learned how to make a pie crust, I could not call myself a baker. I got out books from the library, studied the science and practiced with Lorraine’s fantastic recipe (Reg’s mom). I played around with the recipe and came up with my own version and am finally sharing it with you! The […]

Martha Stewart’s Brandy Apple Pie

January 7, 2013 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

Before everything went wrong on Christmas Eve, I made Martha’s Brandy Apple Pie from her cookbook Martha Stewart’s New Pies and Tarts. That was the one saving grace for the holidays, a fabulous apple pie. I took some liberties with with recipe (I did not do a shingle-leaf top crust) and it took WAY longer to […]

I do not know if you can call strawberry rhubarb pie retro but you absolutely can call it a classic! We will be getting our first day of really warm weather today so yesterday while the rain was gently falling outside I decided to make a pie white it was still cool. I was inspired […]

Thankfully this cautionary tale has a happy foodie ending but if I had not kept a cool head, well, it would have been a very different story. We begin with Lynn Crawford’s Cheddar Cheese Biscuits. That part of the story is all sunshine and daisies. A beautiful recipe. Here is where it all comes crashing […]

Tutorial: Anna Olson’s Homemade Pumpkin Pie

Normally, I hate pumpkin pie. For most of my life I could not understand why people loved this “weird” baking concoction. Then one day a neighbour came by, she had grown a pumpkin in her backyard and gave it to me. Wow! OK, Halloween was too far off to use it as a jack-o-lantern and […]

In a matter of hours, my dad will be here visiting for the next couple of days. Yesterday I agonized over this apple pie: should I pre-cook the filling and then make the pie on Sunday or should I just bake the pie right now? I do not like to bake under pressure so I […]
