You may have had your fill of pie after Thanksgiving's waistline-expanding offerings, but there's truly a pie for every craving -- in fact, there are only two mandates: Pies have crusts, and pies have fillings. They may have just a crust base, only a crust top, or even sandwich the filling in two layers. The crusts themselves can be fluffy puff pastry, buttery short crust, crunchy meringue, or even dense blankets of mashed potatoes. Overall, there are lighter, fruity pies (Raspberry Creme Fraiche Pie with Lavendar Honey); hearty salty-sweet ones (Caramel-Nut Tart); even comforting savory ones, hearty enough to satisfy appetites on long winter nights (Canadian Pork Pie, Mushroom and Barley Pie, Chicken Pot Pies with Bacon and Marjoram).
