I'm giving this recipe 5 stars for flavour, it tasted fabulous! But four stars for the couple of problems I had when baking. After blind baking my puff pastry it shrunk a lot. I knew that there was no way I would fit all the ingredients into the pastry shell and had to reduce the fillings. We really loved this recipe - the flavour of the sweet potatoes and the fetta and onion worked well together! I served this warm but can see that it would be a great picnic dish. DP will be taking the leftover slice for lunch tomorrow!
