Congratulations! Our pie test team has chosen you for our all-new coffee table book on NZ’s best pies.

Around a smoky campfire one summer’s evening on the West Coast a group of mates discussed the gaps in the book market in New Zealand. Louie poked his stick in the fire and a whole stream of embers shot up like fireworks. He turned to the group and blurted out “PIES!” at the top of his lungs. We instantly knew the vision: a coffee table book featuring New Zealand’s best gourmet pies, their creators and the places they work out of. Within minutes we had appointed a team of 20-plus under-the-radar pie testers. The next morning we dispersed throughout the country and gathered intelligence from every corner … and pie crumbs. Crumbfall became a badge we wore proudly (seriously).

Today we are asking you to put your best foot forward and embark on this journey with us. The info you complete here will form the fact sheet for your chapter: 6 pages dedicated to you and your pies.
