Thanks your your feed back; I enjoy watching you bake; and I like how you take different recipes from various bakers and websites.

It was heart warming watching you eat and thoroughly enjoy what you so carefully crafted. Nicely done! 👍

Hello Geoff, another wonderful video from you. I made 4 in foils (froze 2) you are dead right your pastry is so nice. I have made these several times & of course your soothing commentary playing along is a must. Thank you again x

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Linda. Oh I am so glad you enjoy these pies. I loved them. Thanks for your kind words about listening to me, you are very brave.

[@alidavis6362]

That was fab... Great channel! I love your attention to detail and showing the whole process 🙂

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Ale Davis, thanks very much. I am glad you appreciate the video.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Apologies for mistyping your name. Ali. There, now I have it right.

[@alidavis6362]

Geoff Cooper .Thanks, no prob... 😊

[@DominicPannell]

Proper pies! I'm well impressed.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Dominic, thanks very much.

[@DominicPannell]

@@geoffsbakingblog I'll be having a bash over the next day or so... but it's great that you're making/demonstrating proper pies!

[@geoffsbakingblog]

@@DominicPannell I hope you enjoy making, then eating them. I certainly did.

[@marymauldin3229]

These are like what we call pot pies here. Very delicious.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Mary. I have heard of pot pies.

Hi Geoff, THank you for the quick reply. I can't believe you answered so quickly as it is 4:50 AM. If you are in England, (which I don't know for sure) there is a five hour time difference, putting England five hours ahead of Midwest USA. You mentioned your Holiday in Canada. I'm about ninety miles South of Windsor, Ontario. I have relatives in Canada, but can't remember where, but in Ontario. My maternal Grandmother Salisbury came over to this country from England, and landed in Newfoundland, and made her way to Michigan at the age of 12 or 13. My paternal Grandmother Rennick came from Ireland, landed in Canada as a small child, and her parents settled in Michigan also. Both of my Grandmother's married Irishman, and Englishmen. Each had two husbands. So much more to the story, but that's enough for now, as I need to get to bed...it's 5:10 AM. Small world. Have a good Holiday.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

HI Ethel, yes I am in England. I tend to keep strange hours, but it is now 10:40 a.m. Sleep well.

[@wurlitzer895]

Try though I might, I am utterly HOPELESS at pastry, so how you managed to make it with just butter beats me; you're the pastry GENIUS!!! :) :) :)

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Wurlitzer895. Thanks very much. I am sure you could do this. Maybe use a food processor to mix the butter and flour and then add the egg yolk and water and process until it just comes together. Don't over-work it.

Hello Geoff, I am a new subscriber as I recently came across your Channel. Thank you for your wonderful recipes and execution. Your recipes are different, and I like that.

[@elainebonfield3198]

🌺Hello Geoff, I’m a new subscriber to your wonderful channel,as I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment in lock down , so I thought I would give this recipe a go ,well what can I say they came out perfect ,the family loved them so going to try a chicken and mushroom in white sauce next time.Thanks so much.🥧🥧Take care.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Elaine, welcome to my channel, and thanks for subscribing. I am glad you all enjoyed the pies. I have more coming. This week I am going to post a Gala Pie video and I have plans for individual steak and ale(or any type of beer) pie, made with hot water crust pastry. I think they will be suitable to eating hot or cold, or I hope so anyway.

[@anestihatzisavvas6639]

Seems good Geoff but what about adding some spices such as salt & pepper or even herbs like thyme or cumin in with the meat.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

HI there. In the recipe, on my blog, salt and pepper is included. The recipe was a Paul Hollywood one and the 'spice or herb' fllavour comes from the Worcestershire sauce. But of course people could add whichever herbs they wish to enhance the flavour to their tastes.

[@jamesgoacher1606]

Videos such as these are a boon to such as me who has no real idea as to what something SHOULD look like. Frankly your smapling of the result spoke wonders of it's tastyness. I thought you were going to polish it all off. :-)

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi James. I did, very quickly, once I stopped recording. LOL.

[@eurekalass]

Oh my, that looks absolutely delicious! I think next time forego Canada and come to Australia for your holiday. I'll do the washing up! :)

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Clement, I do need to visit Australia at some time, as I have a sister who lives in SA. But it is such a long way. I guess I need to bite the bullet, so to speak.

[@eurekalass]

@@geoffsbakingblog Perfect! Mo (Maureen)

[@ethelnewberry151]

OHHHhhhhhh!!!!!! I could almost taste that pie....Oh so nice....I might start eating beef again Thank you...

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Ethel, I loved these pies, and for me the best part was the lovely buttery, and flaky, pastry.

[@HellaSama]

YUM~

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi HellaSama. Thanks very much.

[@keithdawes2685]

Geoff, are you related to Jeremy Corbyn?

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Keith, no I am not related to Jeremy, though quite a few people have remarked on a similarity, at least in terms of looks.

[@freddiesadventuresforkids4911]

Lol

[@brucebowen100]

Thanks for he video. As the Two Fat Ladies would say, "Everyone can enjoy this dish except the poor vegetarians." I enjoyed the closed captions, some of which were very funny. Even sounds made by the spoon hitting the dish produced words, mainly "yeah, yeah, yeah".

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi, yes the closed captions are always quite amusing. I will go in this evening and edit them to something more reasonable.
