Today is National Pi Day, celebrating the mathematical constant ‘pi’ or approximately 3.14.

For foodies -- or anyone with a sweet tooth -- the similarity in pronunciation to a beloved dessert can mean only one thing: an excuse to eat pie.
Savory pies, sweet pies, any kind of pie will do to aid in the celebration. Here are a couple of recipes for a variety of pies from our Los Angeles Times test kitchen:
Chicken leek and fennel pot pie
Enjoy!
