Puff Pastry Pizza
Pastry pizzas are a lifesaver—quick to make and perfect for satisfying hungry kids in no time.
Smoked Salmon Bites
Crisp, creamy, smoky, and fresh—these bite-sized canapés are perfect for parties, brunches, or any excuse to snack fancy.
Salmon and Leek Vol Au Vent
These salmon and leek vol-au-vents are comfort food with a fancy edge. Flaky puff pastry shells are loaded with creamy leeks and pieces of tender salmon, all wrapped in a rich, velvety sauce. They’re super satisfying, easy to pull together, and great for serving when you want something a bit special without too much fuss.
Ham and Cheese Croissants
These ham and cheese pastry croissants are a quick, no-fuss version that you can whip up in minutes. They're perfect to keep in the freezer—just bake straight from frozen for an easy, satisfying lunch or snack anytime.
Mini Bacon and Egg Pastry Pies
These little savoury classics are a Kiwi favourite — simple, hearty, and endlessly satisfying. Made with flaky pastry, crispy bacon, and just-set eggs, they’re perfect for brunch, lunchboxes, or picnics. Best of all, they can be enjoyed warm or cold, and are easy to whip up with just a few pantry staples.
Golden, portable, and packed with flavour, these mini pies are the ultimate comfort food in bite-sized form.
Cheese, Bacon, Jalapeño Turnovers
One of my favourite combos—made even better when wrapped in golden, flaky Heritage puff pastry.
Cheese Sticks
Cheese sticks are a handy snack to keep around—they freeze well, so you can always have a batch ready to go. Serve them on their own, pair them with your favourite dip, or add some crudités for an easy, crowd-pleasing platter when guests drop by.
Winter Veg and Venison Pasty
Traditionally pasties are made with beef, but when in Aotearoa I choose to use the more tender, flavoursome and affordable cuts of venison. And of course to save time and to get the perfect pastry Heritage Bakers Savoury Short Pastry is just perfect!
Ham, Cheese and Leek Pithivier (Posh Pie)
Pithivier or ‘posh pie’ as i like to call it. Is simply a decadent pie. This pie is layered between sheets of Heritage Bakers flaky puff pastry with sweet, buttery leeks, shavings of ham, and finished with gooey mozzarella.
It could easily be served for a luncheon, dinner or transported with you for a picnic. Delicious enjoyed on its own or you could dress it up with a crisp leafy garden salad.
Kransky In Blankets
These tasty little morsels are great for a party or a fun snack.
Kransky sausages with their cheesy filling make the perfect party food.
These are super easy and fast to make especially when using sheets of ready rolled Heritage Bakers flaky puff pastry.
Tomato and Cheese Little Tarts
Pastry and anything tastes delicious … right? Adding fresh juicy tomatoes and gooey cheese makes it taste even better. These work fantastic as a little snack, or as a cute little pre dinner nibble. Delicious addition to the lunch box as well..
Quick Courgette and Ricotta Tart
Making a tart like this requires very little planning, especially when you can grab a sheet of Heritage Bakers flaky puff pastry.
Leftover Quiche
Using Heritage Bakers shortcrust pastry makes whipping up a quiche quick and easy. I also like that you can also use up leftovers. Ingredients like cooked potatoes, pumpkin, broccoli and greens. Leftover meats such as ham, cooked bacon and sausages are fantastic. Using up those crumbs of cheese left in your fridge also works wonders in a quiche..
Cheesy Beef Pinwheels
These are so good and so quick to make. I used minced beef but you can use any type of mince. To make these pinwheels extra fast, extra delicious and easy to prepare I used Heritage Bakers pre-rolled flaky puff pastry sheets.
Beef and Cheese Sausage Rolls
Who doesn't love a sausage roll? My mum always made sausage rolls on the weekend, which were great as we were always so busy with weekend sports. We could eat them hot or cold and also great to enjoy on the go. They are quick to prepare, especially when you have sheets of Heritage bakers ready rolled flaky puff pastry.
