Pie Awards 2025 Celebrity Judge Sid has introduced at Anise, an entrée-sized pie that is proving to be a hot little number with the customers. “It’s a beef rendang pie which has got a little bit of beef short rib, then the Malaysian rendang flavours and a really nice flaky pastry.”

That’s the kind of flavour that would work well in the Pie Awards Café Boutique category where cafes and restaurants can show off their innovation skills.

This year we’re excited to introduce two celebrity chef judges for the NZ Bakels Supreme Pie Awards, Sid Sahrawat teaming up with his daughter Zoya.

You may have watched Auckland restaurateur, Sid Sahrawat judging on MasterChef NZ, My Kitchen Rules, dined at his former restaurant, Sidart, or at Cassia, Anise, The French Café or Kol. But did you know, Zoya, his 13 year-old daughter is also a talented budding foodie, formerly known as the HospoBaby? With that kind of hospitality lineage, it is hard to imagine Zoya biting into a pie and savouring it, however, she is a huge fan of pies, as is her dad, Sid and they can’t wait to see what is instore when they judge the 26th Bakels NZ Supreme Pie Awards on July 25 as this year’s celebrity chef judges.
