I love to cook with my dad because when I grow up, I’m going to have to learn how to cook, so my dad is teaching me. Another reason why I love to cook with him is because he is a great chef, and he taught my mum how to be a great cook and that explains why he is the best at cooking.
Blueberries are one of best in the fruit group because I love the color purple 😊. Why are we using blueberries? It is because Blueberries are low in calories and fat, and yet they still provide a fair amount of healthy fiber. Blueberries mainly consist of 14% of carbs, 84% of water, and small amounts of protein and fat. My dad is a champion on healthy eating and is constantly educating my brothers and me while he encourags us to eat different colored fruits and vegetables.
For the British Pie Week, I have worked with my dada and my favourite Ba on the recipe below. Do try it with either a scoop of ice cream or warm custard. It is delicious.

Ingredients:
The pie filling
¾ cup granulated Sugar
3 tbsp Corn starch
¼ tsp Salt
½ tsp ground Cinnamon
4 cups of fresh or frozen Blueberries
1 tsp grated rind of Lemon
2tsp Lemon juice
The pastry case:
320gm plain Flour
1 tsp Salt
90gm unsalted Butter
50gm Vegetable spread
Ice water if needed
1 Egg and a few drops of milk for the egg wash on the pastry
Method:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees f [190 degrees c]
Mix all the ingredients in the pie filling with the blue berries. Keep aside.
Mix the flour, salt, butter and the spread till it forms a crumb and then knead with a little water for about 10 minutes till it comes together and forms a semi soft dough. (use water sparingly if needed) Chill for 30 minutes.
Line a pie dish with pie crust, keep it refrigerated for another 10 minutes.
Pour the berry mixture into the crust. Cut remaining pastry into 1/2 – 3/4-inch-wide strips, and make a lattice top. Crimp and flute edges. Egg wash.
Bake pie on lower shelf of the oven for about 50 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
Let it cool for a bit, then pour warm custard and enjoy…
