I followed the recipe exactly, including the Pernod and saffron. My family loved it; couldn't stop eating it. It is the perfect pot pie.

Great comfort food dish. I was worried about the fennel, I'd never cooked with it before and I don't like anise but it has a really mild, almost sweet flavor that adds nice dimension.

I made it according to the recipe the first time (minus the pernod and it was really good. I used a little less saffron, and reduced the butter and flour the second time around.

The one thing you should not skip is the homemade crust, it's delicious and super easy. It does make more than you need, so I froze the left over crust to use another time. I'm a serious carnivore and I didn't miss the meat at all. This is also great to make ahead, the pot pie tastes even better the next day. If you're looking for a vegetarian meal that can satisfy a hearty appetite, look no further.

Wonderful...a real feel good food, even when the liquor is left out. Delicious and will make again. (The computer is acting strange...this is a 5 star dish, but the 5th star won't stay after clicking.

I was looking for the perfect pot pie comfort food and I found it. THis recipe is divine! I started to make a few of the modifications that others suggested, but went with the original recipe for the first time (with the exception of the Pernod and it was amazing!!
The pie crust was my first and I won't buy another frozen/refrigerated crust again. Who knew a pie crust was so easy???
I would like to know if this same base can be used with most any other combination of vegetables??

I enjoyed trying different ingredients--fennel bulb, asparagus, and squash--in a veggie pot pie. However, as someone else mentioned, the high fat content is unnecessary. I used non-dairy Earth Balance instead of butter--and only about half of what was called for. If I make this again, I will probably use arrowroot rather than flour. Almond or other non-dairy milk provides a lighter/cleaner taste than cream. Carrots, asparagus, and potatoes can be steamed together in a little water. Then you can add seasonings, onion, etc. to make the the veggie stock. You could also use a flaky phyllo crust on top. The flavors are there, but Barefoot Contessa's recipes often come off to me as heavy/old school and with a need to modernize.

this came out amazing! sauce, veggies and crust! the only thing i would change would be to blanch the vegetables for a shorter amount of time, except the potatoes. they were a little soft.

This is simply the best pot pie. Added chicken and used pastry puff. My family loved it.

This recipe is amazing and delicious; no meat needed! My only suggestion would be to make half of the amount of pie dough as I had about double what I needed to cover the pie and ended up throwing it out...or make two pies...which would be perfect too!
