Misguided health experts are worried about the amount of pastry and fat the average person consumes. Too true, but not on my watch! As WFI guest-writer Tamisin Day-Lewis points out, there's as much fat in a slice of buttered toast as in a modest slice of delicious savory pie.

So let's get on board, folks. Turn up your oven, grab some fantastic fresh veggies, herbs - or Sunday roast leftovers (ah, Sunday roast ....), grab a rolling pin, and get pie-ing. It is nowhere NEAR as difficult as you think.

From savory to sweet, from Bramley Apple with Blackberries, to Steak and Mushroom. You'll find 15 fantastic recipes here courtesy of Waitrose. Enjoy!
