Author and savory pie expert Ken Haedrich takes you on a global tour of dinner pies from food cultures across the world in this freshly illustrated adaptation of his popular Dinner Pies cookbook.

Dinner pies have become a favorite go-to for one-dish recipes. Perfect your own crust or, dare we say, buy a pre-made crust and the variations are endless. Learn how to make classic Americana chicken pot pie, British steak and ale pies, Indian potato and pea samosas, spicy Spanish empanadas, and many more crust and no-crust versions of one of the world’s most prolific go-to dinners. Recipes for a range of crusts and make-ahead ideas are included along with how to use the almighty leftover to create pie masterpieces that are all your own!

With over 80 recipes and amazing, new four-color photography, this is both a cookbook and an around-the-world tour of culinary traditions that can be incorporated into your own home kitchen weekly menu. Enjoy making and sharing:
