Last night, the Bakels New Zealand Supreme Pie Awards took place, and we are thrilled to share that our very own Basil Paul won a silver award in the Café boutique section.
Basil’s delicious pie was a "Moroccan style slow-braised lamb shoulder simmered in a fragrant Ras el hanout spice blend with cinnamon, ginger, cumin, preserved lemon, apricot. Buttery filo spiced with dukkha and toasted almonds."
There were 4,600 pies entered this year for judging, so a huge congratulations to Basil for his high achievement!
