Holiday Pie Special

SAVOURY PIES

Gobble Gobble

Why slave away in your kitchen basting

a bird all day when you can order this

seasonal family-size turkey-cranberry-

cream-cheese pie instead? It’s like the

bakers at North Shore Pie Co.,

Etobicoke’s New Zealand–inspired pie

shop, crammed everything we love

about Christmas into one flaky crust.

$20. 107 Shorncliffe Rd., 416-233-1269.

Italian Job

The butchers extraordinaire at Cumbrae’S

beautiful new Bayview Avenue store have packed

their classic porky-beefy bolognese sauce into a

pot pie, with some parmigiana for good measure.

Don’t let the small size fool you—this Italian tart

could easily satiate two hungry pie enthusiasts.

$11.49. 1589 Bayview Ave., 416-485-5620;

714 Queen St. W., 416-681-1111.

Stock Option

Head to ma maiSoN patisserie, a petite

piece of Paris on the Kingsway, for the

chicken pie, a buttery, flaky shell chock full

of tender white meat and veggies in a

creamy chicken stock–based béchamel.

Turkeys shouldn’t get all the attention this

time of year. $32.25. 4243 Dundas St. W.,

416-236-2234.
