  1. WOW! This was fantastic! We have a wee run of pies and casseroles so this is actually the second pie I have made this week *guilty look* but YUM!!! This is definately a keeper. My husband and I both enjoyed this immensely and our three kids (4, 2 and 1) all ate it up without a grumble (which is relatively unheard of). The only change I made was that I used Montieths Dark Ale as that was what I had on hand....I dont know how much this would alter the recipe but it was still fabulous. Thanks for posting such a great recipe :)

I'm married, I have 2 kids (both boys), and I live in Australia. I have loved cooking for as long as I can remember, and have become completely addicted to browsing through Zaar looking for new recipes! I have a small animal shelter for rabbits and guinea pigs, and spend most of my time looking after kids or critters!. My favourite cookbooks are The Essential Pasta Cookbook, The Central Cookery Book, Flo Bjielkie-Peterson's Country Cookbook, and Greek Cooking (I bought that one in Greece, and it's FANTASTIC). At the minute, we are getting ready to move, which is forcing me to sort through my recipe cabinet. I have been trying out all those recipes that are scribbled on pieces of paper, or torn from magazines, so I can decide ifthey are keepers or not. So far I've found a lot of keepers, and will work at posting them on here. I'm passionate about a lot of things, mainly my kids, animals, and cooking. I won't even start on my peeves, we'll be here all night! lol
