"Really yummy, but wouldn't bother putting the cranberries in the main part of the pie as they're a little bitter (cranberry sauce on top is great though) and I didn't find the greaseproof paper handles worked - they just broke up so I had to bake the pies in the ramekins (not a big problem)."

"While by no means the most luxurious chicken pie I've ever made, absolutely perfect for weeknight healthy eating when you've got January blues cos you've eaten too much at Xmas but you still can't resist the stodge. Very tasty indeed. "

"This was gorgeous - so much lighter and less cloying than some chowders can be, whilst still being a satisfying dinner. I probably added a bit more haddock than it says here (just bought a fillet of each, didn't look at the weight) and used chervil instead of parsley as it's growing like crazy in my garden at the moment. Lovely, cheap and quick - a definite weeknight winner."

"This was lovely BUT two things - (1) I couldn't find pheasant legs on sale on their own anywhere (even tried Borough market), and it didn't seem very economical to have to buy several pheasants just to remove the legs for this purpose, so I roasted a pheasant instead and shredded it in (was lovely anyway and reduced the need for so much goose fat!) and (2) I actually thought that there were too many beans in it - would just use the one can next time. I thought the sauce was absolutely gorgeous and rich after 3 hours on the hob but adding the beans seemed to dry it out a bit, which was a shame."
