    This turned out great. Never had mashed potato in the bottom of a pie before but it actually worked really well.  -  01 May 2018

    This was delicious. I made 4 individual pies and as i thought the dishes wouldn't be big enough i left out the mash potato. We already had the pheasent breasts cut off of the bird which i roasted in the wine and herbs for about 20mins i then cut them into pieces and added them to the carrot, pea and celery mix. Pheasent season is on its way and i would highly recommend this recipe.  -  25 Oct 2015
