Steak pie with memories (Auntie Wins Pie)
Memories of my childhood were very special,loving parents and two sisters and one brother who were and still are very close....I’m lucky.
Also a huge and influential part of my childhood was a lovely couple and their family who lived next door to ours.
Auntie Win who looked after me while my Mom and Dad was at work,was the one person who was my inspiration for my love for homemade cooking,Proper warm,comforting food that always brought me running into her kitchen from playing outside in the Garden.
Always fish on a Friday,Sausage and Mash maybe on a Wednesday,where I was allowed to help mash the potatoes with the same potato masher I still use to today,it must be over 50 years old now.......
But always my favourite which was usually on Tuesday,was Win’s homemade pie with peas and boiled potatoes,with bisto gravy.A small round plate lay in the middle of the small kitchen table with “ROUNDS OF BREAD AND BUTTER,CUT IN HALF”placed on it and the three of us,Auntie Win,my Uncle Alf and myself would sit down to eat at about midday.
This Pie that I cooked is in memory of “My Auntie Win” and them Tuesday Pie and potato days over 40 years ago.#newcookschallenge

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a frying pan heat a little oil and seal the beef.In a bowl add your plain flour,salt and cold butter and mix with your fingers until you get the consistency of breadcrumbs.Add the water in gently and mix together until it forms into the shape of a ball.Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and kneed briefly and set to one side.
- 2
Now with the beef that you have sealed,place into your bubbling beef stock and cook gently until the beef is tender.(for this recipe I like to slow cook the beef in the stock until reduced for a few hours) but the choice is yours.If you want to slow cook your beef filling first,make your pastry at a later stage.
- 3
Once the filling has been made and cooling slightly you can start with the pastry.Heat your oven to 180 degrees,Butter your pie tin and roll out half of your pastry.Turn your pastry as your rolling,so it forms a kind of round base for your pie.Fill your tin with the pastry base and push in gently to all the sides.Blind bake in the oven using ceramic beans to protect the base of your pastry for about 15 minutes.
- 4
In the meantime roll out your pastry lid in the same manner as your base.Once the base has been blind baked remove your ceramic beans from the pie tin and fill with your beef filling.Place your pastry lid on top,fit and crimp your edges and use an egg wash glaze to brush over your pie.

Cook in the oven for about 25 minutes or until the Pie is golden. All the best and enjoy 😉

Steak and mushroom pot pie Steak and mushroom pot pie
You know how sometimes ugly things can be beautiful'? Like pugs. Or Owen Wilson's nose (alright, maybe not beautiful, but chicks seem to dig him). Well, that applies to this pie, I think. Seriously, it took about 15 shots to get the half-decent photo attached to this recipe. This pie is rustic looking, no doubt. And no matter how hard you try to prevent it, the sauce always bubbles over and stains the crust. But none of that matters in the end, because this pie is also absolutely delicious. Succulent steak, hearty veg, and mouthwatering gravy are all hidden beneath flaky puff pastry. You could say this pie has internal beauty.

Simple Apple Pie With Frozen Pie Crust Simple Apple Pie With Frozen Pie Crust
My home always has frozen pie crusts on standby in the freezer.My relatives gave us a bunch of apples and I got tired of eating them raw, so I decided to make this recipe. The flavor of these apples are different from the raw apples.So I decided to make homemade apple pie.If you thaw the frozen pie sheet and it becomes too soft, you can put it in the refrigerator to cool.You can add as much cinnamon as you want, or not add any at all.It's also really good if you top it with vanilla ice cream while it's really, really hot.

Beef Shepherd's Pot Pie Beef Shepherd's Pot Pie
Another recipe using store bought pie shells. I was inspired when I tried Costco's Shepherd Pot Pie. Of course, I always want to make something my own way. Feel free to do your own thing! I ended up combiningdifferent recipes to end up with this one. Let me know if you try it, and any tips! I made enough for 4; baked 2, then will bake other 2 later. To keep things simple, I microwaved frozen packaged mashed potatoes. However, you can make your own. I would mash with a hand mixer using sour cream, 1 egg yolk, & some parmesan cheese.

Basic 3-2-1 Pie Dough Basic 3-2-1 Pie Dough
This recipe is based on a 3-2-1 (Flour : Butter : Water) ratio from the "Ratio" book. It's really easy to remember and very easy to make! This recipe makes enough for a full 8 or 9 inch pie (22-23 cm) with top and bottom crust, or two bottom pie crusts. You can easily halve this recipe if you only need one bottom crust.

Cottage Pie Cottage Pie
It’s like Shepherds Pie (which is made with ground lamb) but made with ground beef. Enough here for 2 casseroles - one for tonight and one to freeze for a later date. There are some cheats - I use Costco mashed potatoes (doctored up) for the topping but feel free to use fresh mashed potatoes. I grew up eating this in England and this is the closest thing to my moms recipe as I have been able to get.
