Confession time: we have a bit of a crush on the Proper Pie Dish. Not only is this pastel-pink beauty super durable, it’s also really versatile. The pie isn’t the limit – it’s the perfect size for serving up salads, tarts, casseroles and desserts, too.
A beautiful serving dish can elevate even the humblest of meals and make it special. Which is why the Proper Pie Dish from Jamie’s new Big Love collection is a kitchen essential! Embrace the possibilities with our favourite serving ideas, featuring everything from soft roasted fruit to elegant quiches and – of course – pies!
A serving bowl
Rhubarb is always a treat to eat come spring/early summer, and bay, star anise, orange and vanilla take this oven-roasted rhubarb recipe to a whole new flavour dimension. It’ll look stunning served in the Proper Pie Dish as part of a brunch or dessert spread alongside Jamie’s One-cup pancakes, with Greek yoghurt or ice cream. Roasted plums, peaches or pears would also be beautiful – the fruit bowl’s your oyster!
A fruit bowl
When it comes to fruit bowls, the Proper Pie Dish happily doubles up as one of those too! Its generous size will make it a happy home for a whole array of seasonal fruits, and the scalloped edge gives it extra points for beauty, too.
Quiche & tarts
Give the Ultimate spring quiche a spring makeover with this elegant tribute to seasonal produce. We’re talking gorgeous green veg, bombs of creamy goat’s cheese and a sprinkling of crispy bacon – come on! Bring it straight from the oven to the table in your Proper Pie Dish for a beautiful centrepiece that’s guaranteed to get people talking (and eating).
Pie!
This Proper chicken pie recipe is right at home in the Big Love Proper Pie Dish. With sweet leeks and earthy mushrooms, a creamy cider sauce and golden pastry, it’s got to be one of the most delicious pies out there. Serve with gravy, mash and cabbage for an epic sharing dish.
Decadent desserts
Tiramisù means ‘pick-me-up’ or ‘cheer me up’ in Italian, and who wouldn’t be cheered by this heavenly dessert?! A nice deep dish is essential when it comes to creating those layers of coffee- and booze-soaked sponge fingers, chocolate ganache and creamy mascarpone. Finish with chocolate shavings and a grating of orange zest to make this dessert really sing.
