Woolton Pie

---

Woolton pie was created by a chef at the london savoy during world war ii. It was designed to be filling while predominantly using vegetables from the garden (which were obviously unrationed). This is the traditional wartime recipe and rather bland by modern taste. Feel free to spice it up with modern day condiments, herbs and seasonings. You can also alter the vegetables to suit your personal tastes. Enjoy, keep calm, and carry on!!
