I always have a package or two of ready-made puff pastry in my freezer. This allows you to depict a ceremonial dish literally in a matter of minutes. If you have a ready-made filling and defrost the dough in advance, then baking will take no more than ten minutes. Most of all we like potato and meat fillings, to which I sometimes add mushrooms. These pies are both delicious and satisfying, you can even take them to work as a lunch snack.
