Sometimes it’s nice to just stop with the pretentious 5 star bullshit, and make a pie with your family.

My niece has been having a hard time with family recently, so we made a chicken leek and mushroom pie. No fancy cooking, no gimmicks. Just family, food, and music. It was nice to have this reminder of the reason I became a chef. Not just a love of food, but for the love of people. And helping them make happy memories in a time when they may not be doing very well.

Happy Sunday chefs, I hope you’re all doing well.

Happy Sunday! Looks 5 star enough for me! Enjoy.

Thank you, went down a treat. We had it with new potatoes and broccoli. Followed by letting her colour in my tattoos with highlighter pens 😂

You sound like an awesome friend to your niece 💚

[u/Sudden_Chard8860 → u/immersemeinnature]

She’s a cool gal

Good homecooked food and fine dining are different and equally valid genres. The experience I have with a michelin starred tasting menu is fascinating, exciting, and yes invariably delicious. When I make my grandmother's risotto (not italian at all by the way she was as Scottish as they come. A burning hatred of margeret thatcher is a key ingredient in all her recipes!) I get an equally good experience that's wholesome, filling, and indeed invariably delicious.

A burning hatred of Margaret Thatcher is in the DNA of all Scots of a certain age.

She’s like super Reagan right?

And with bonus point for specifically making things much much worse for scotland and the north of england, so she's particularly hated there.

Fancy or not, I'd order that at a restaurant. Looks both pretty and like good comfort food.

[u/Sudden_Chard8860 → u/Winterwynd]

Thank you so much, it means a lot

[u/immersemeinnature]

Looks so delicious! Everyone needs more savory pies in their life

[u/Sudden_Chard8860 → u/immersemeinnature]

Next pie- steak and Guinness

[u/immersemeinnature → u/Sudden_Chard8860]

Yummy yummy 😋

They said after putting a bunch of pretty stuff on top

Jk it looks yummy, enjoy!

[u/AuxNimbus]

Hell yeah. Love a good support tree. Tell her she is loved by the degenerates here!

[u/rayofgoddamnsunshine]

That looks delicious. I'm so glad you had some quality time with family over a hearty meal. Happy Sunday, chef.

[u/69tractorboy]

Give me honest home comfort food over something pretentious with smears, foams, or micro herbs. Your pie looks delicious

[u/pervaccount69420]

Makes a pretentious pie!... pffft.

[u/Positive_Parking_954]

I’d still call that fancy just not outside fancy

[u/Anoncook143]

Bro said nothing fancy and put a beautiful braid and flower

[u/Icarus367]

Looks beautiful.  (Incidentally, which publication or institution hands out 5 stars?)

[u/MrPanache52 → u/Icarus367]

Bro u gotta grind more then you’ll know. YES CHEF!

[u/Sudden_Chard8860 → u/Icarus367]

In the uk, it’s called The AA. Mostly used for hotels but they do also give out stars to restaurants of high quality. Generally though, they give out something called rosettes

[u/oobydoobydo]

I like being pretentious though

[u/MortaBella77]

Recipe?!? I would love to give this a try with Morningstar imitation chicken.
