Tina Raines is a consistent winner in the Ultimate Taste Test series:
Ultimate Taste Test 2.0 Winner: Callos Aussie Pies by Tina Raines
Ultimate Taste Test 3.0 Winner: Homemade Savoury Pies by Tina Raines
Ultimate Taste Test 4.0 Winner: Tina Raines’ Frozen Lemon and Herb Pie!
And now, she also won in Rockwell’s Ultimate Taste Test with her flavorful tarts: Shiitake with Swiss Gruyere, Prawns in Aligue, Chicken with Chorizo, and Callos as a stand-alone dish for the first time. All of them were winners and captured the foodies’ hearts and palates. (I personally loved the Callos.)
You just can’t go wrong ordering her food for potluck parties. It seems that anything that Tina bakes is a winner — from the savoury pies, to the dessert pies, and now her tarts. 🙂 Her food also gets sold out every time she puts up a stall in Mercato Centrale.
With this winning streak in the UTT series, it is now time to have a Tina Pie’s Store!
The Story of Tina Pie’s Outlet
by Tina and Aaron Raines
The reception of our humble grub has been out of this world. My husband and I are thrilled and continue to be awed by the warm reception extended to us by food bloggers, loyal and new customers and the general foodie community. It gives our product a hint of legitimacy and for that we are ever grateful.
When we started, we had a handful of customers who suggested that we sell small savoury pies. We were not keen to do this, as we felt that an authentic savoury pie is a full-sized pie and not a mini pie. Aside from this, small pies are time-consuming and more intricate, which puts a big dent on both time and cost limitations which we cannot compromise with. Up to this day, we still are a husband and wife team, we love to be hands-on from sourcing ingredients, churning out the pies and selling them.
Until now, we still get the same suggestion, so we decided to introduce savoury tarts, a dish with a bottom crust only. This was an easier alternative time and cost wise. We started selling them at Mercato Centrale and the feedback from our customers was incredible. We then decided to include the tarts as a mainstay in our menu. Just like our savoury pies, they are made from only fresh and quality ingredients that allow us to come up with exciting and wild fillings. We premiered the savory tarts at Rockwell’s Ultimate Taste Test together with Callos as a stand-alone dish. This was a customer suggestion and we happily obliged because we love our customers. We are quite happy with the feedback.
We constantly try to develop new flavors via customer suggestions and our curious taste buds. We thought that a Quiche would be a lovely addition to our product offerings and we are now in the final stages of developing different flavor combinations. We are happy to announce that in next month’s Soderno Market in Alabang, we will launch our Quiche line.
With a few months left, we look behind us and what a year it has been, both on a personal and on a business level. There is only one word that sums it all up and describes how we feel— “grateful”. We are now in the home stretch of 2011 and into the yuletide season, we are excited to launch our new products and see what is in store for the year ahead. Hopefully, 2012 will be another amazing year. You might just find Tina’s Pie Outlet around the corner. 🙂
