Chicken and Mushroom Party Pies

"Tasty party pies to enjoy on any occasion, from The Australian Women's Weekly's 'little pies & cakes'. How many this will serve will depend of course how many other such dishes you serve at the same time. An Australian brown onion is what Americans call a yellow onion."

  1. these pies were very good. I do love the australian habit of regular pastry on the bottom and puff pastry on the top. Next time though i will add some more herbs and spices, just a little bland

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority! <br> <br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
