Crust: 1 ½ cups flour or a gluten-free flour mix ½ cup nut flour ¼ cup honey ½ cup butter

Filling: ¼ cup corn starch 2 Tbsp honey 1 tsp baking powder 1 lb plums 4 eggs

Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a 9×13” cake pan.

Stir together the flour and nut flour. Cut honey and butter into the flour until there is no more fine powder and it can be pressed together into dough. Press dough evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned.

When the crust is baking, remove the stones from the plums, then combine the corn starch, honey, baking powder, plums, and eggs in a blender. Blend until liquefied.

Pour the filling over the hot crust, and bake for 20-25 more minutes.

1 unbaked pie crust for 9” deep-dish pie 2 cups grated pears (about 3 pears) 3 eggs ¾ cup sugar 1 cup cream 3 Tbsp corn starch ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp dried rosemary

Preheat oven to 400° F. Prepare the pie crust and place the pie pan on a baking sheet (for ease of handling and safety if it overflows).

Spread the grated pear evenly into the pie crust.

In a bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until creamy, about 30 seconds. Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture into the pie crust.

Bake for 10 minutes at 400° F. Reduce the temperature to 350° F and bake for 40 more minutes.

The custard will set up completely as it cools. Let cool completely before serving.

1 tsp dried rose petals, hibiscus petals, or similar sweet flower ½ cup warm water ¼ cup raisins, dried cranberries, or other small dried fruit 1 ½ cups flour ¼ tsp salt ¾ cup butter 3 small apples 2 pears 2 Tbsp honey ½ cup chopped almonds

Grind the flower petals into a powder. In a small bowl, combine the warm water with the flower petals and dried fruit. Set aside while preparing the filling.

Slice the apples and pears into thin slices, removing the core. Cook the fruit with ¼ cup butter and honey over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and butter is melted. Remove from heat. Scoop out the raisins with a slotted spoon and add those to the apple mixture.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Cut in ½ cup of butter. The flower water should be just under ½ cup; stir that into the flour to make a paste. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill.

Preheat oven to 375° F.

When the dough is cold and harder, roll out into a large, thin circle and line a deep-dish pie pan. Set aside any extra dough to make a decorative top. Spread the chopped almonds into a layer on the bottom, then add the rest of the filling.

Bake for 35-40 minutes.

2 cups raw cranberries 1 ¾ cup (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk 3 egg yolks 1 pie crust (graham cracker crust, or pre-baked)

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Boil cranberries in 2-3 cups water, until they are mostly split—it only takes a few minutes. Drain and discard the water. Combine the cranberries, condensed milk, and egg yolks in a blender, and blend until smooth and light. Pour into pie crust. Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool at room temperature, then chill for at least 3 hours before serving.

Filling: 1 lb. chicken meat 1 ½ tsp minced garlic 1 cup minced celery ¾ cup chopped onion 2 cups potato, cut into ½” cubes ½ cup grated parmesan (or other cheese) ½ tsp salt 1 tsp ground black pepper 2 tsp tomato powder ½ tsp dried thyme ½ tsp dried oregano ¼ tsp fennel seed ¼ cup cornstarch ½ cup water, soup stock, or cream

Crust: 2 ¾ cup flour 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 6 Tbsp oil 1 ½ cup milk or water

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Place the chicken in a greased pan over medium-high heat and let the outside brown, flipping occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the filling. The chicken does not have to be cooked through at this time.

Chop the vegetables, mix the filling ingredients in a large bowl. When the chicken is seared on the outside, cut it into small pieces and stir into the filling.

In a separate bowl, stir together all the crust ingredients.

Grease a large pie pan, and press 1/3 of the crust dough into the bottom, with wet hands to smooth it out to fill the space. Pour the filling into the pie pan, evening out the top. Place the rest of the dough on top, using wet hands to smooth it out and completely cover the filling.

Bake for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165° F, checking in several spots.

Crust: 1 ¾ cup flour 1 tsp ground nutmeg ½ tsp ground cardamom ½ tsp ground ginger ½ tsp ground black pepper ½ cup butter, cut into pieces ¼ cup brown sugar ¼ cup cold water 1 egg

Filling: 4 ½ cups raw cranberries (18 oz) 1 cup plain Greek yogurt 1 cup sugar ¼ cup corn starch 1/8 tsp salt

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Whisk together the flour and spices. Cut in the butter. In a separate bowl, dissolve the brown sugar in the water, then beat in the egg. Stir the water mixture into the flour mixture in 2 parts, forming a smooth paste. Form into a thick disk, wrap in plastic, and chill while you make the filling.

Use a food processor to coarsely mince the cranberries. Stir together all the filling ingredients.

Roll the crust dough into a thin crust and place into a 9” deep-dish pie pan. Fill with the cranberry filling. Use leftover dough to make a decorative top crust. Cover with foil and bake for 60 minutes, then remove foil and bake for 10 minutes.

Pie crust for double-crust 9” deep dish pie 4 lb raw chicken 2 leeks salt, pepper, nutmeg or mace; or whatever your preferred seasoning mix is 1 ¼ cups chicken stock, made with bones so there is some collagen content ½ cup cream

Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare the bottom crust in the pie pan.

Cut the chicken into small pieces, removing bones and fat. Thinly slice the leeks from the bottom, up through about halfway of the green part (until there is no more yellow core).

Make layers in the pie: first chicken, then leeks, then a sprinkling of salt and seasoning, repeating until the pie is full. I used a Moroccan spice mix for medieval flavor. Pour the chicken stock into the pie.

Place the top crust. Cut a small circular hole in the middle, then make a pastry flower to form a lid on the hole.

Bake for 60-70 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the inside of the pie measures 165° F or higher.

Gently heat the cream until hot, not steaming. Remove flower lid from the pie, pour the cream into the hole, and replace the flower.

2 cups pears, chopped, with core removed 1 cup strawberries, chopped with leaves removed 2 Tbsp butter ¼ cup cream ¼ cup sour cream or plain yogurt 4 eggs ½ tsp salt ½ tsp ground allspice ½ tsp ground ginger 2 Tbsp honey

Preheat the oven to 325° F. Grease the bottom and sides of a large pie tin with 2 Tbsp soft butter.

Cook the pears in enough water to cover, over medium heat, until they are soft enough to easily pierce with a fork. Strain the fruit and put in a blender with all the other ingredients. Blend the ingredients very thoroughly, so that it is completely smooth.

Pour it into the pie tin. Bake for 60 minutes. Chill before serving.
