I first tasted “Tourtiere”, a traditional French Canadian Meat Pie, on Christmas morning 2003. It was cooked by one of my closest friends Pat Saiya. It’s tradition in Pat’s house in Boston every Christmas and I started the same tradition six years ago when we moved into our new home. The aromas coming off this Pie are Christmas personified. It’s incredible. Make it at any time of the year though or for special occasions.
