    Loved the program on Pocket Pies. Your show is always so fun! Oh... one thing Alton, the Cornish meat/vegetable pies are called PAST-ies not PASTE-ies. :

    Keep up the fun shows, and I'll be watching.

    Love this recipe!!! Im not a big curry fan, but thought I would try this for my bf who is a big Indian food fan..... It is SO YUMMY!! I used one mango and some strawberries that were on their way out. I will be making this every time I have strawberries that are no longer 'fresh' (not moldy, just wilted. The dough is easy and can be made in double batches, so I freeze half of it and defrost the night before i want to make it again!

    These sound super good!!!!! Do you think it matters if i use butter instead of shortening? I want to make these today and all i have is butter.

    Remember to use UNsalted butter for the chocolate filling. For the reviews where the chocolate filling didn't work out -- I wonder if they just used regular "salted" (sweet butter instead of unsalted. Remember that salted butter has a higher water content than unsalted -- it isn't just about the salt. Could definitely matter in this recipe!

    I'm a known terrible cook, but these were awesome and were gobbled up. I used pre-made blueberry pie filling and baked them. Awesome, awesome. Didn't explode, didn't burn, didn't get too empty, no complaints at all. The only thing I'll do differently next time is that I won't dirty my food processor - that's just too many dishes! I'm thinking mushroom/spinach/swiss cheese next time. I got 11 pies out of the recipe.

    I enjoyed the program very much but was dissapointed that the recipe did not include any of the other fillings, i.e., shepherds pie and the others that were on the program.

    Alton you are very enjoyable, informative and helpful

    I made these pocket pies, filling them with shephard's pie ingredients... using ground wild pork... and whole wheat in the crust... they were AWESOME!!! The guys raved about them and asked me when I would make them again. Thanks for such a great recipe, and for so many suggestions and options. It made me feel comfortable experimenting a bit myself!

    I have always loved meat pies, and couldn't wait to try this! I was able to make 18 pies, and I used leftover beef stew (which itself was made from leftover roast, butternut squash with cinnamon, honey, nutmeg, and a little brown sugar, and a modified version of the chocolate filling.
    I halved the filling recipe, and since I didn't have cocoa powder, I substituted hot cocoa mix (3xs the amount recommended, and decreased the sugar by 2xs the original amount of cocoa powder and decreased the amount of butter by 1 oz. I baked all the dessert pies and two of the meat pies and froze the rest to fry later. Everything came out beautifully and now I have quick heat and eat meals for nights we get home late.
