Homity pie
This open pie is thought to have been created by the ‘land girls’ who worked the fields during the second world war. With strict rationing and ingredients in short supply, the original recipe made do with what was available: onions, leeks, potatoes and a little cheese, all nestled in a pastry crust. Our version is inspired by the pie’s humble roots but is more generous with the cheese – and adds cream for extra comfort
