I have made my own puff pastry - in fact was taught how to at school many years ago, but like Mr Slater sometimes it is quicker and more convenient to use ready made.
January 18 th s chapter was headed " Cheating with puff pastry " and that is exactly what we do with this recipe for A hearty pie of chicken and leeks
I used half quantities for this as there was only Jim and I in for dinner but it still made a substantial size pie!!! The filling was easy to prepare and quite delicious although my husband thought it a bit too dry !
For desert we had Poached apples with ginger and anise.
I wasn't particularly looking forward to this one, fruity deserts are not a favourite but WOW - lovely. The spicey ginger syrup is really warming and perfect for our cold winter days.
