Pies are the perfect combination of decadence and comfort. Buttery pastry can ensconce all sorts of moreish fillings that come oozing out at the first bite. While we love a good pie all year round, nothing quite makes us appreciate this humble dish like chilly weather. For an ultimate winter meal, reach those frozen fingers for old favourites like traditional chicken-and-mushroom or indulgent duck. These are some of SA’s must-try pies.

No road-trip in the Eastern Cape is complete without a stop at Nanaga Farmstall for their legendary pies – crispy, buttery pastry and hearty fillings like lamb n mint (top choice), lamb curry (very close second), venison, wild boar, spinach & feta, and the chicken is pretty damn fine too.
