    This is a good easy to make pie, but I did change a few ingredients. I added a small amount of goat's cheese and used swede and carrots instead of squash, because that's what I had in!I also used soya yoghurt in place of the creme fraiche and added a pinch of sage. It was very delicious!

    I used an olive oil pastry which is crisp and not so fatty as flaky, still turned out very well indeed.

    Fantastic! I was worried the content might be a bit watery but it was lovely and creamy. I halved the recipe and used one large pie dish. Went down very well with my carnivore fiance who loves fish/meat pies!

    My veggie husband loved this. I swapped the leek for onion because that's what I had and added mixed herbs plus extra parsley.

    good recipe, easy to make, thought it wld be too bland but isnt. added lots of fresh thyme and garlic, and made it in one big pie dish. the crispy puff pastry makes a lovely contrast to the velvety texture of the filling. made it a few times now and noticed that sometimes the taste is a lot sweeter than other times, must be something to do with the b.n.squash... surprised i havent felt the need to add goats cheese, my staple - but willdo sometime .

    This is now one of my regular suppers, I love it! I really didn't expect much from it first time round, I thought it would be a bit bland without any herbs but it's really not. I've re-heated the leftovers the next night as well and it was still really tasty.
