Chicken & Chorizo Iberian Pie

Mon, 24 Jun 2013 | Review by: Carrie

Borrowed the book from a friend, made the Iberian chicken and chorizo pie for dinner guests; ridiculously simple but impressive and tasted superb - now that's my kind of cooking. I now have to buy the book for myself so I can try all the other pies and tarts!
