Just a little note - these type of recipes may also be adapted for those who are unable to have pastry. When baking the pie contents place the container in a second slightly larger dish with an old tea towel neatly folded at the bottom which should be emersed in about one inch of water. This usually bakes the contents evenly so that pastry isn't required. (Also useful for those trying to cut back a little.)
