    A traditional Greek pie commonly made with filo pastry. Shop bought filo saves a lot of time and is much easier. Most brands are vegan but be sure to check. Any spare pastry should be wrapped quickly

    Such an easy, satisfying, and comforting dish. You can be flexible with ingredients too.

    Step back into 1952 with some delicious Coronation nostalgia. Serving the filling in the pastry cases looks impressive, but it can of course be used in sandwiches or to top a jacket potato.
