We are hurtling downwards into winter now and whilst I love the warmth of summer there can be no denying it is quite lovely to curl up in front of the fire at this time of year. A great winter supper is a piping hot pie on a cold winter’s night. Give me pastry, suet pudding or a mashed potato topped pie, I’m not fussy, they are all good. However I thought I would share this fabulously tasty and easy fish pie.
Do you have a favourite pie recipe? Is it a sweet or savoury one?
