Savory Pies: Delicious Recipes for Seasoned Meats and More

It’s hard to resist a good pie.  It’s perhaps the quintessential dessert making an appearance throughout holiday celebrations and on supper tables throughout the year.

But a dinner pie?  I one thought that was reserved for Shepherds and tomatoes, but Savory Pies: Delicious Recipes for Seasoned Meats, Vegetables and Cheeses Baked in Perfectly Flaky Crusts opened my eyes to a whole new wealth of meal possibilities!

Including recipes for basic, cream cheese, flatbread, pastry, and gluten-free crusts, Savory Pies offers over sixty dishes to warm your oven and spice up your dinner time experience.

From Irish pub-inspired Guinness pies to jerk-spice pockets from the Caribbean, there’s an amazing array of combinations contained within the pages of this clever cookbook. Empanadas from Argentina and French tartes made modern fill the book with beloved and new ingredients – all designed to be savored.

Categories include Crusts, Appetizers, Main Course, Vegetarian, and hand pies. Full color pictures and easy-to-follow instructions make Savory Pies an attractive addition to your Rural Mom kitchen.

As I had left-over ham from the holidays, the first recipe I tested out is the Pizza Rustica (Italian Easter Pie.)  Sufficed to say, it’s a new hit in our home.

Savory Pies offers creative ways to put your leftover meats and veggies to use, but certainly also to introduce plenty of new meals to your dinner table.  And the best thing about pies?  You pretty much stuff ’em and set them to bake, making dinner prep a total breeze!

Savory Pies is available via your local bookstore or favorite online book retailer.
