"We cooked this for a family Sunday dinner - it was really lovely with new potatos veg and gravy. If you want to avoid the pastry being soggy underneath just put a piece of ready made pancake (you can get these from any supermarket) underneath the meat - cut into a piece a little larger than the lamb). You can't tell it's there when you eat it but it does socak up the juices and stop your pastry going soft! "

"I cooked this for 4 and doubled everything - I thought it wasn't enough smoked salmon to begin with but it was actually plenty. I think I listened too much to the other comments though and didn't put enough lemon juice in! The only thing I would recommend is to reserve a little of the pasta water to add at the end, as I thought it was a little dry. Other than that the dish was a definate hit!"

"I couldn't find any toulouse sausages so bought pork. I thought I needed to add a little extra kick so put a generous teaspoon of whole grain mustard in, and also added a tablespoon of tomato puree. It was lovely!"
