Mushrooms are bang in season now and although I didn’t pick them myself, all markets have plenty to offer.
To me these forest mushrooms symbolise Autumn and with the weather being meh lately, I craved a pie. Busy at work it needed to go fast so I used shop-bought puff pastry and in no time pie aromas were enveloping my kitchen.
