For the UK, the start of March means a few things. It’s the end of a winter we might have been growing tired of; it’s the welcoming of spring as the snow melts from pavements; and perhaps most important: it means British Pie Week is just around the corner.
This beloved pie celebration spans from the 5th to the 11th of March. To help you appreciate pies the vegan way, we’ve compiled a list of the best pies to purchase and make to get your March started the best way possible.
