Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Pie

In honor of my first week in the UK I felt that it was appropriate to blog about a very English dish.  When I got married it was a fun challenge to begin to learn a whole new style of cooking.  Up until then my dishes had been heavily influenced by Asian cuisine.  But wanting to impress me English husband I found I wanted to try my hand at adding more English dishes to my repertoire.
