Pie-crusts/9 recipes

Pumpkin, cognac, cream cheese, sour cream and spices make this cheesecake creamy, smooth, rich and delicious. The toasted almonds adds extra nuttiness, and it also gives the cheesecake a beautiful coating on the outer edge. This is the kind of cheesecake that everyone gives a big "WOW".

Zucchini Crust Pizza recipe

This pizza is coated by garlic olive oil, sprinkled with Mozzarella and Parmesan, after baking the cheese is melted with the garlic, topped with some freshly chopped parsley leaves, quick, easy and tasty.

I use McIntosh or a combination of McIntosh & Cortlands as my family and I prefer a softer apple filling that holds together (I NEVER use Granny Smiths)...

Fresh fall vegetables: broccoli, fennel and leeks. Or you can use cauliflower, cheesy flavor in the delicate crust with a nice tang from the olive tapenade.

This was the best pie that I have ever made and I have made quite a few. It taste like the most decadent dessert ever.

Cherry Pie recipe

Mini-bites of heaven. Individual chocolate cheesecake topped with cherries.

This is my favorite pumpkin pie recipe! I found it years ago, and recently lost it in a move. I was joyous to find it again! I encourage everyone to use fresh pumpkin, just cut into large chunks, steam, then scoop out of peel, easy!

So to start off with the first post, I decided to make a meal that screams of comfort food. Whilst it does take a bit of a while to get the meal done, once you take that first bite, heaven couldn’t seem closer if you were Adam trying to touch God’s finger in the “Creation of Adam” fresco created by Michaelangelo. The meal I speak of is Cottage Pie. There is much debate as to what exactly a cottage pie is and how it is different to a Shepherd’s pie...I don’t know. The dominant theory is that Sheperds pie uses lamb mince, whilst a cottage pie uses beef mince. I don’t know about you, but the term “Sheperds Pie” does not get my tastebuds going quite as well, so I prefer the term cottage pie. Besides, comparing the price of ground (mince) beef to ground lamb, a student would pick up the beef mince in a heartbeat without even so much as glancing at the lamb in the meat section. This cottage pie that I made is full of flavour, and just makes you want to cuddle up next to a fire and watch TCM movies all day either by yourself, or with a significant other. Here is the recipe:

Fresh vegetables on top, spread the pesto evenly on the pizza dough, sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of the vegetables, great combination for a garden pizza.

Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake recipe

Perfect for heirloom tomatoes. This recipe brings tomatoes front and center to celebrate their flavor.

Yes, this is a vegetarian pot pie. Not only just vegetarians love it, but also meat-lovers enjoy it. Flavorful and tasty, a delicious, warm yet light main dish during a cold winter day.
