  Found this very tasty, especially the cobbler which could be adapted as a topping on other dishes. Next time, as I am only cooking for two, I would halve the bottom ingredients but keep the same amount of dough on top because that is the best bit!

  Very simple and quite cheap to put together. I used chopped gammon steaks and fried them off with the leeks from the start. I think this serves three at most.

  I liked this dish, but think the quantities are a little out. I used 85g cooked gammon for two of us (not sure how 85g would feed four) I also made the same amount of cobbler topping for two of us, but halved the amount of leeks, peas & stock. Unfortunately my flatmate ate the apple I had put aside for this for breakfast (!!) so I added some cornflour to thicken a little before putting in the oven. The end result was good, but I am not sure it would have been if I had followed the recipe to the letter!

  I thought this was pretty bland. I drained off the liquid before moving the leek mixture to the baking dish. The vegetables gave up alot of liquid after baking, and if I hadn't drained, this would have been a soup with a crust.

  Delicious, light and fresh tasting, I did adapt it slightly as I realised I only had half the required amount of leeks! I replaced the missing leeks with white cabbage, which i added just before Iput the topping on, it was a winner as the cabbag went really well with all the other ingredients. Would thicken the stock next time as I foung it just abit to thin for my liking. A family staple now in our house, clean plates everytime.

  Lovely. I agree that it serves 3 rather than 4. I had run out of natural yoghurt so just used semi skimmed milk and it was fine. I didnt have any thyme and wished I'd thought to use parsley as I'm sure that would have gone well. My daughter had been picking at the left over ham so I had to cook some bacon as well.

  I adapted this as was making for two - but never really follow recipes to the letter anyway! Did find that I needed more yoghurt to make my cobbler bind - but we both really enjoyed this dish. I have made a few times and it's very tasty.

  Really good healthy alternative to suet cobbler topping! I would recommend adding creme fresh to the mixture as i found it very watery and had to drain off some of the excess fluid, otherwise very tasty

  Whole family enjoyed this but it had too much liquid even after I thickened it slightly. I think it would also work really well with a mashed potato topping.

  The cobbler is lovely and light after I doubled the ammount of self raising flour in this recipe as it was too sticky. Otherwise perfect so I refuse to mark it down.

  Lovely but go and talk to your local butcher he will nearly always have the end of a ham he can sell you particularly if you go on a Saturday lunchtime when he is closing for the weekend.

  Good with leftover chicken (leave out the apple). I thickened it with chicken gravy granules and gave it a few extra minutes to brown the top, lovely

  Tasty dish. Added some butternut squash to the leeks and sweated both in a knob of butter instead of oil

  Hubby and I really enjoyed this - as I was desperate to try new ways to use up leftover xmas ham - getting tired of ham sandwiches! Thought it wa a bit watery so will try to thicken or drain off liquid next time, and I didn't have enough leeks so I added mushrooms which were lovely. Also used more ham than suggested - mainly because I have so much to use up :) Will definitely make again.
