Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas mark 5.
- On a floured surface, roll the pastry out to the thickness of 0.5cm (¼ inch) and 5cm (2 inches) wider than the tin you're lining.
- Using your fingers, gently press the pastry into the corners of the tin, letting the excess hang over the sides of the tin.
- Using a fork, prick the base of the pastry.
- Line with baking parchment and fill with baking beans or dried pulses.
- Pop the pastry case in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water for 5 minutes or until just tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion and leek gently until soft and caramelised. This takes about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas mark 5.
- Add the thyme, cream and potatoes and give the mixture a stir. Remove from the heat and wait for it to cool down.
- Stir in half of the cheese then pour the filling in the pastry case.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. [Optional: Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs.]
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the top is golden brown.
- After removing the pie from the oven, wait for the pie to cool down for 10 minutes before slicing with sharp knife.

Steps:
- To make the pastry, tip both the flours, a pinch of salt and the cayenne, if using, into a large bowl. Mix, then rub in the butter using your fingertips until the mixture is crumbly. Mix in the egg and 1 tbsp cold water using a cutlery knife. Bring the pastry together into a ball, then cover and chill for 30 mins. Knead briefly until pliable, then roll out until it's large enough to line a 20cm deep pie dish. Line the dish, pushing the pastry into the edge, then trim. Chill until needed.
- Meanwhile, for the filling, heat the butter in a large saucepan until sizzling and cook the onions with some seasoning and the leeks and thyme, if using, for 12-15 mins until soft and sticky. Stir the potatoes into the onion mix, then reduce the heat, cover and cook for 10-15 mins, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes break down when pressed with a wooden spoon. Pour over the cream, stir for a minute, then turn off the heat and leave to cool a little.
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 with a baking tray inside. Stir half the cheddar and most of the spring onions through the potato and onion mix. Scatter half of the remaining cheddar over the base of the pastry case, then tip in the tip filling. Scatter with the rest of the cheese and spring onions. Bake on the hot baking tray for 40-45 mins until the pastry is deeply golden and the filling is bubbling. Remove from the oven and leave to rest for at least 10 mins. Serve hot, or leave to cool until just warm.

HOMITY PIE
Popular in the seventies and eighties, homity pies were often seen as somewhat worthy - leathery, unappetising with a smug crust. But we thought this pie deserved a second look. This recipe is the grandson of those early pies and, we bashfully believe, a great improvement. We've cut down on the potatoes to make it less heavy and added some broccoli and other root veg - although you can vary these as you like. Celeriac and swede would also work well. A great veggie dish that can be enjoyed by all.

Steps:
- To make the pastry, put the flours and butter into a food processor with a generous pinch of salt and pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the egg and just enough cold water to bind the mixture together. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in cling film, and leave it to chill in the fridge while you make the filling. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add the potatoes, carrots and turnips and bring the water back to the boil. Cook for 4 minutes, then add the broccoli. Continue to cook until the vegetables are just done but still with a little bite to them - this will take about another 2 minutes. Drain and leave to cool. While the vegetables are cooking, melt the butter in a large frying pan. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring regularly, until the onions have softened and are lightly coloured. Add the garlic and continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool. Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Put all the cooled vegetables into a large bowl. Add 100g of the cheese and the parsley, then mix thoroughly and set aside Roll out the pastry and use it to line a 20cm cake tin or a deep pie dish. Spoon the filling over the pastry. Whisk the milk and mustard together until you have a thin paste, then stir this into the cream. Season with a little salt. Pour this mixture in a slow and steady stream over the filling so it soaks through the layers of vegetables. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake the pie in the oven for 40-45 minutes until the pastry is crisp and lightly coloured and the cheese has melted and started to brown. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Put the flour and butter in a food processor and blend until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg and pulse until the mixture just comes together as a dough (add a little water if needed). Bring the dough together and flatten into a round. Put the pastry in the centre of a 20cm/8in springform cake tin and carefully ease it over the base and up the sides of the tin, place in the fridge. Cook the potatoes in boiling water for 15 minutes, or until just tender. Drain in a colander, tip back into the saucepan and cut into 3cm/1¼in pieces with a round-bladed knife. Melt the butter and oil in a frying pan and fry the onions, leeks and red pepper gently for 15 minutes, or until soft and pale golden-brown. Add the garlic and cook for two further minutes, stirring regularly. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C (fan)/Gas 6. Add the onions, leeks, pepper and garlic to the potatoes and sprinkle with 100g/3½oz of the cheese and the parsley. Add the spinach leaves and season with nutmeg, salt and freshly ground black pepper. (add the ham if being used) Bring all the ingredients together until well combined. Spoon the filling mixture into the pastry case. Pour over the cream and allow it to drizzle down between the layers. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Place the tin on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pastry is crisp and pale golden-brown. Leave the pie to cool in the tin for 45 minutes. Remove the pie from the tin and place it on a serving plate. Cut into thick wedges with a sharp knife. I love this served cold too... enjoy!!
