I'm not sure what went wrong, but my stew turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This recipe was a disaster! The stew was tough and the puff pastry was soggy. I don't recommend this recipe.

The stew was good, but the puff pastry was a bit too dry. I think I would brush it with butter next time.

This stew was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more herbs next time.
