Hi Adam I am in my eighties and had fallen out with cooking until I discovered your channel. I like your style of presentation and many of your recipes. I have just made your chicken pie recipe and it's delicious and so easy. Keep going and I wish you luck in your new future. Remember when one door closes a new one opens.
Adam you asked about sleep tips on this one. Find a sleep meditation video that you like on youtube and a cup of Camomile tea when you go to bed. And you said on this one you would eat your (scrummy)pies and go to bed. No food for three hours at least before bedtime if you want a good nights sleep ! Hope this helps if you are still having problems.
Going through a really tough and sad time right now and his videos are sort of comforting u see him at home hes in a cozy home hes cooking comforting meals makes u think about mom or grandma in the kitchen cooking as a kid
Doing okay in Ontario spending time gardening getting all the vegetables that are ready. Enjoy being out watching the birds and squirrels. Time seems to be going quickly . The S (snow) word is coming but will enjoy the nice weather for now. Praying that they will find a vaccine for this virus. Wishing you and your family good health and stay safe. Love your videos and sense of humour, nothing like British humour.
I'm not a sleep expert but my holy grail trio as a chronic insomniac is melatonin, journaling and the podcast Sleep With Me. The journaling helps withy anxiety because I can write down my worries so they won't bother me at bedtime, the podcast helps me fall asleep faster and the melatonin helps me get at least 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep
@@Adam_Garratt hey Adam! I was in my final year of medical school last year then started internship immediately so I wasn't online as much. Now I'm home due to the pandemic so I have some extra free time. Thank you for noticing, it means a lot to me.
Dude, you are a motivation. Washing dishes, long editing hours, shot the video after working a day job. A serious motivation to me. Keep going and keep having fun. Just try to get some sleep and be healthy. Maybe go for a walk from time to time. Cheers
Hi Adam. Belgium is having a second wave at the moment. Last week we got new restrictions. I really hope we're not going in a second lockdown. Your videos are cheering me up every week, so thank you very much! All the best Adam.
Love watching you and learning new recipes but also your humour is very close to mine so I love the talks to camera. Lockdown wise has worsened my mental health but we can only try and help each other. Keep going young man you give me something to look forward to.
Are we all in the same mind because we had a version of pot pie this week but I did a poured batter topping that spread into a crust and puffed up when baked, Campbells soup kitchen version, but god i miss the stodgy fray bentos pies xx
Brenda, I just watched a video after I made this by cooking with Jack show. He did a Campbell pot pie. It had like a biscuit crust. Wonder if it was the same thing 🤔❤️
Adam Garratt yes Adam it was but I had to make a 9x13 pan and didn’t have bisguick baking mix so had to find a really super easy version of 1 cup of AP flour 1 tbsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 tbsp veg oil all mixed together then I did 1-1/2 recipe and added 1 egg and enough milk to make a thick pourable batter and I like this baking mix so much I put it in my recipe book for future use 👍🏻
Well done mate, keep up the good work. In Western Australia we are more or less COVID 19 free. We got just 6 active cases in hotel quarantine, all of them returned overseas travelers. I'm enjoying every little bit of your uploads. Stay safe mate Cheers
Just got to the part of the video where you asked as to comment- personally I'm not doing so well with my mental health but trying to do my best. Thanks for the lovely video! ♥️ I'm looking forward to trying this recipe!
Hi Adam, in the other day I've made your chicken lime recipe. Was really nice and different. Maybe I'll try this pie someday. I never ate this type of cuisine and pies.
Another Excellent Vid Adam, good stuff keep them coming. My kitchen looks similar in size to yours and it gets very hot in there too. So I invested in a little 10" fan from Argos, and that really worked for me, couldn't do without it now.
Looks lovely Adam going to make some and distribute them round the family at weekend, we are back in lock down in Lancashire so I will do a little meals on wheels run they will be much appreciated 😀👍thank you
I had very similar symptoms as yours regarding sleep. Turned out I had severe sleep apnea. It might be worth getting tested. If you have it and get treatment it will change your life for the better.
You are a great guy Adam. Yes I think we all feel the same about lockdown, it has been a great shock to us all. Life is not the same as we are used to. We just can’t do as we did before, even going to the shops is more complicated, masks and hand gel! Keep up the good work, a great TH-cam channel. Many thanks. 😘😊 🥰
Great to see you Adam! I really enjoyed this video.. I can’t wait to make my own pot pie! 😋 Hope you’re keeping well. Here in NY we’re doing ok... we’ve worked really hard to make strides against Covid. At least now we can have outdoor dining. The rest of the US is not doing as well. Hopefully it will improve .🙏🏾 I too have trouble sleeping. I drink chamomile and lavender tea before bed. Hope it helps! 😘😘
Welllll yes and no. I kind of agree.. But... Cottage pie, shepherd's pie, Cumberland pie all don't have one. But yes I agree, and also no you are wrong. I like both 😂🤷♂️
@@Adam_Garratt fair enough 😂😂 but I was talking about pastry based pies mainly 😌😌 honestly it looks really good thb and I'll be trying it, looks rich and the perfect thickness.. I'm sure the heavy cream brings everything together
@@Adam_Garratt Should have guessed, Adam; I remember how much you like Wilco. That lovely 'stockpot' you used in a previous video!! Just bought for the first time some ready-made flaky pastry for the recipe...
Thanks for another great recipe Adam. My first time going to the shops today since before lockdown due to shielding. . Anxiety was through the roof but I managed it. Not planning on doing it often though. Cheers 🍻
Thank you my friend. You can leave it out if you like, it's not essential. You could try a sweet berry jam if you can get something like that? Hope you are doing ok buddy
those pies look amazing adam . why not invest in a dishwasher if you hate doing the washing up i used to be the same but the dishwasher takes care of that now . love the chanel buddy keep up the great work.
I'm watching this at 1.34am, don't talk to me about sleep lol, I get about 4 hours, always tired..... Anyhow, love chicken pie , pot pie? That's yanky talk!.... great recipe, can almost smell it from here.
My husband struggles with sleep. Our trainer has recommended the supplement magnesium threonate so my husband has started taking that before bed and he said to really helps! It gives him wild dreams too! I take a product called Natural Calm before I go to bed every night and that helps me relax.
I have never understood the logic of the putting a bead of pastry around the rim so the top can stick. If the Bead of Pastry can stick, why cannot the top? btw I am expecting a 'Beast from t'north in the next week and would welcome warming grub. Happy New year. (if you are listening. 🙂
Mouth watering again! Another super video, really enjoy these Adam. I make similar pies at Christmas using leftover turkey and gammon, good idea to batch cook and freeze especially if you live alone or with a vegetarian 😉 If you're making a pie with a full crust what kind of pastry would you use on the bottom? I'd love to come up with a decent pukka pie replica.
Generally speaking use a shortcrust or hot water crust pastry for pie bottoms, and puff pastry for tops. I just like the contrast between the 2, and I find all shortcrust a bit too heavy. Thanks for watching mate, appreciate it
Hi Adam 👋👋 Apparently, to help you get a good night sleep you need to free your mind of any worries or annoyances. If something is on your mind, write it down to free your mind. If something annoys you, you need to train your mind to not be annoyed. If not sleeping is annoying you, you need to dismiss this annoyance. You need to think and say to yourself that you are lucky ... Lucky about anything ... Lucky you have a nice bed; lucky you have nice PJ's; lucky you have (anything). Even if you are fedup with things, you need to change your thoughts to happy thoughts (might be hard to do but it needs to be done). This is what partly causes insomnia: Worry, artificial light (TV, screens, iPads, phone screens, etc.), Caffeine, alcohol, meat, late nights, annoyance ... This is what helps you sleep better: Going to sleep early (did you know your Power Hours for sleep are between 9 p.m. and 2 a.m. These are the hours you should be asleep, not up watching TV, or playing internet games, etc.); Laughter, sunshine, exercise, happy thoughts, sleep in the dark (no chargers on, TV off at the mains, no technology in your bedroom); fasting (eat early and small meal) and plenty of water. Go to sleep early, think positive happy thoughts, ignore stress, worries and annoyance. It all sounds gruelling, doesn't it, but if you feel unhappy because you have put a little cuddly on over lockdown, this is going to keep you thinking about it if you don't so something about it. If washing up annoys you, pretend you are doing it for your closest friend after a great meal. Pretend you are somewhere else .... When I peel potatoes (my pet hate and which I rarely do, I pretend I am peeling exotic fruit in an exotic country, lol). You need to change your mindset, as as you say, you have too much on your mind. Don't let anything get you down. The more you think or worry about something, the more time you are wasting thinking about it. This is annoying you and worry and annoyance are the two main factors to insomnia ... And before I start to annoy you, I will shut up, lol I'm still waiting for flights out of Mauritius. Covid and lockdown has stopped my 2yr work and travel plans and with only 3 months left of my 2 yrs, I just want to get home, as the last of my planned countries (S Africa, Argentina and Peru) are rife with virus statistics and there is no where where I can go. Apart from just waiting with not much to do, as this is not my home, all is good. I am well and safe and most of all, I'm loving your videos 😉😉💞 Your Chicken Pie looked delicious. 💞 I love the tips you throw in: salt in the egg wash ... Cool the filling before putting the pastry top on (makes sense now) and you always make me laugh with your witties: time, thyme. (So, don't eat too much; go for long walks; think happy thoughts; ignore worries and annoyances; go to sleep early; no electronics ... Then hopefully you will get some sleep. It's your mind that is annoying you ... Ignore it all 😉 You can only do something, in the 'now', thinking about things is a waste of time xx Tell yourself this xx (I talk too much. That was far too long a message 🙄🙄😉💞) ... And we all care for you and love you too. 💞
You are such a sweetheart Tina, thank you for all that, it was actually very helpful. I hope you manage to get a flight home soon though. And thank you for all your support! Big hugs 🤗❤️
@@Adam_Garratt 😂😂 You have got me forever now. I love your cookery videos. I admire how you find time to educate us, entertain us and give us such great, easy to do recipes. All of which are delicious. 💞. To be part of the Adam Garatt family is rewarding and keeps me happy. I love it 😀👍💞 I look forward to your new videos but I know I have many more to catch up on, being a newcomer to the family. 😉. You are loved worldwide and never forget it 🤗😘
Try melatonin for sleep, ask your Dr. Its something our body makes naturally, its not harmful or addictive. My Son has it to help him get to sleep, works great.
Oy, Adam! I saw what you did with the zipper graphic on the spoon--clever lad! I LURV pot pie and your summer rationale for omitting the usually required bottom crust makes sense. Allow me to offer a couple of tips: put a damp kitchen towel under your cutting board to keep it from sliding around; and learn the pinch grip on your knife rather than the handshake grip you are using. You will have better control of the knife, you will need less effort to cut, and reduce the chance on injuring yourself. Practice by cutting onions for French Onion Soup and also use the claw grip whilst holding the veg. As far as sleep goes, stop looking Screen flicker induces a hypnosis like brain wave state (which explains why you can find yourself in an internet rabbit hole for hours on end with no apparent lapse in perceived time.) Finally, yoga is a GREAT idea for your physical, mental, and social health.
Hi Adam I’m coping ok tho it’s having its toll on the kids especially my teenager he’s even bored of fortnite now 🤣🤣 I hope you’re ok hun your videos are helping keep me chirpy thanks bab 😆
With all the roof space you have out the back of your flat you could make yourself quite a nice little garden. Might I suggest you take up Zen meditation, Zen has made a world of change in my life. As for your pie with no crust on the bottom Keef is going to take umbrage over that. If you get your self a fan and point it out the back door when its open you will find you have less fly's.
When you get an answer on the insomnia please do a video! 😡 Also, I really try to listen to the ads, but the 5 min ones are very difficult!! I guess I'm grumpy due to lack of sleep! 😂
Thank you Cheryl. I don't have much control over the ads, sorry. I do try to not put too many in. There was probably more in this because its a longer than usual vid. X
@@Adam_Garratt oh Lord, don't worry, Uncle Adam! I am just in a bad mood 🤪 Found out I have to start work again soon. And now I'm too fat for my work clothes 🐖 BTW I loved the idea of cranberry sauce! Brilliant! Hugs, friend!
Well Cheryl, here's a big juicy hug to cheer you up. 🤗. And don't worry about the work clothes, just turn up in underwear. I do it all the time and I've only been arrested 15 times. 😂😉
I had some of that Sharon. It kinda worked, but I just have such a high tolerance. I had the spray oil and it went within a week! 😂. Maybe doing something wrong
Hi Adam, sorry for messaging in a none vid day but just wanted to say I made your pie and completely ruined it 🤣🤣🤣 oh well up there chippy I go lol 😆 bye
0:42 No offence intended as I do like the stuff you cook but alot of it is VERY high in carbs/sugars, which have a high GI, get converted to sugar easily, then stored as fat etc. Alot of it is comfort food eg. pies, potatoes, pizzas etc which is tasty but its very easy to eat this sort of stuff in excess. Great if you're prehistoric caveman in a cave shielding from dinosaurs, but you need different options in the 21st century as "food" is rarely in short supply and we're much more sedentary!
Hi Adam I am in my eighties and had fallen out with cooking until I discovered your channel. I like your style of presentation and many of your recipes.

This is lovely to hear Sonia! Glad you found that love again! x
Your chicken pot pie looks very delicious. I also think you're a very nice man.🥰
Finally made the pot pie, it was fanbloomntastic. I just used leeks and parsnips.
You’ve converted me to knorr it’s surprising how different they are to oxo and much more easier to use
Its so good to see you back at it on a regular basis, it will only be good for your channel brother😉
Loving it mate. Its harder work, but worth it in the end. Cheers brother

I have quite a few glasses of wine. Sleep like a baby, I'm retired can do what I like HaHa Cheers from Australia 🦘🦘🦘 love your channel keep it up ❤❤
Thanks pal
Now that looks delish. Off on holiday tomorrow but when I get back I'm gonna try this.
I like using the puff pastry when I make my pot pies too.
I absolutely LOVE this Dude!
From one small channel to another, you're doing a great job and your videos are in my new favorites.
Ahh thank you mate! Appreciate it
I love the idea of adding the cranberry sauce. It looks really good.
You are so fun to watch! Motivation for cooking.
Thank you very much! ☺️
Sorry Adam I'm binge watching uploads I've missed n sounds like a "pot"pie is the key to a good night's sleep😂
Honestly, one of your most photogenic dishes. Great job Adam!
Thank you Anthony. Hope you're well dude
Where did you learn to cook Adam? No faffing,straightforward recipes, and a funny guy,what more could we ask for? More please x
Aww thank you Lynda. Im completely self taught, although I got a lot of inspiration from my late grandmother.
@@Adam_Garratt Well done you,my good man x

Are we all in the same mind because we had a version of pot pie this week but I did a poured batter topping that spread into a crust and puffed up when baked, Campbells soup kitchen version, but god i miss the stodgy fray bentos pies xx
Brenda, I just watched a video after I made this by cooking with Jack show. He did a Campbell pot pie. It had like a biscuit crust. Wonder if it was the same thing 🤔❤️
Adam Garratt yes Adam it was but I had to make a 9x13 pan and didn’t have bisguick baking mix so had to find a really super easy version of 1 cup of AP flour 1 tbsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 tbsp veg oil all mixed together then I did 1-1/2 recipe and added 1 egg and enough milk to make a thick pourable batter and I like this baking mix so much I put it in my recipe book for future use 👍🏻

Delish

Your Chicken Pie looked delicious. 💞 I love the tips you throw in: salt in the egg wash ... Cool the filling before putting the pastry top on (makes sense now) and you always make me laugh with your witties: time, thyme.
(So, don't eat too much; go for long walks; think happy thoughts; ignore worries and annoyances; go to sleep early; no electronics ... Then hopefully you will get some sleep. It's your mind that is annoying you ... Ignore it all 😉 You can only do something, in the 'now', thinking about things is a waste of time xx Tell yourself this xx
(I talk too much. That was far too long a message 🙄🙄😉💞) ... And we all care for you and love you too. 💞
You are such a sweetheart Tina, thank you for all that, it was actually very helpful. I hope you manage to get a flight home soon though. And thank you for all your support! Big hugs 🤗❤️
@@Adam_Garratt 😂😂 You have got me forever now.
I love your cookery videos. I admire how you find time to educate us, entertain us and give us such great, easy to do recipes. All of which are delicious. 💞. To be part of the Adam Garatt family is rewarding and keeps me happy. I love it 😀👍💞
I look forward to your new videos but I know I have many more to catch up on, being a newcomer to the family. 😉.
You are loved worldwide and never forget it 🤗😘
I started taking magnesium supplements and my sleep improved a lot.
Ooh magnesium. I'll check it out, thanks!
Try melatonin for sleep, ask your Dr. Its something our body makes naturally, its not harmful or addictive. My Son has it to help him get to sleep, works great.
Oy, Adam! I saw what you did with the zipper graphic on the spoon--clever lad! I LURV pot pie and your summer rationale for omitting the usually required bottom crust makes sense. Allow me to offer a couple of tips: put a damp kitchen towel under your cutting board to keep it from sliding around; and learn the pinch grip on your knife rather than the handshake grip you are using. You will have better control of the knife, you will need less effort to cut, and reduce the chance on injuring yourself. Practice by cutting onions for French Onion Soup and also use the claw grip whilst holding the veg.
As far as sleep goes, stop looking Screen flicker induces a hypnosis like brain wave state (which explains why you can find yourself in an internet rabbit hole for hours on end with no apparent lapse in perceived time.) Finally, yoga is a GREAT idea for your physical, mental, and social health.
Thanks for the tips John! Someone else mentioned yoga as well. I do need to exercise more. Appreciate your help mate.
Try sleep meditation by the honest guys on you tube they help me sleep
Hi Adam I’m coping ok tho it’s having its toll on the kids especially my teenager he’s even bored of fortnite now 🤣🤣 I hope you’re ok hun your videos are helping keep me chirpy thanks bab 😆
Don't you worry Beryl, we'll get through this! And at least me making a tit of myself on camera helps! Big hugs 🤗❤️
With all the roof space you have out the back of your flat you could make yourself quite a nice little garden. Might I suggest you take up Zen meditation, Zen has made a world of change in my life. As for your pie with no crust on the bottom Keef is going to take umbrage over that. If you get your self a fan and point it out the back door when its open you will find you have less fly's.
Thanks rich, I'll look into that! And yep, keefs going to have a meltdown 😂😂
@@Adam_Garratt Yes, keef is going to lose his s*&t
@@mrkrasker9609 I thought of keef when I did this. 😂
When you get an answer on the insomnia please do a video! 😡 Also, I really try to listen to the ads, but the 5 min ones are very difficult!! I guess I'm grumpy due to lack of sleep! 😂
Thank you Cheryl. I don't have much control over the ads, sorry. I do try to not put too many in. There was probably more in this because its a longer than usual vid. X
@@Adam_Garratt oh Lord, don't worry, Uncle Adam! I am just in a bad mood 🤪 Found out I have to start work again soon. And now I'm too fat for my work clothes 🐖 BTW I loved the idea of cranberry sauce! Brilliant! Hugs, friend!
Well Cheryl, here's a big juicy hug to cheer you up. 🤗. And don't worry about the work clothes, just turn up in underwear. I do it all the time and I've only been arrested 15 times. 😂😉
@@Adam_Garratt believe me, I wouldn't let my worst enemy see that,! 😂😂
CBD Adam, try it x
I had some of that Sharon. It kinda worked, but I just have such a high tolerance. I had the spray oil and it went within a week! 😂. Maybe doing something wrong
gotta say the mustard threw me... But i can see how it prolly cuts through the richness of the sauce.
Gives it a lil zip!
take magnesium citrate tablet an hour before bed. you will be amazed.
Never put your veg in raw . No one wants a shit pie . I will remember that tip forever 😂👍🏻
Exactly Brad 😂😂
Super yummy but a Chicken Pie with no mushrooms ?! What on earth is going on in that pot ...
Mushrooms are like little muddy slugs to me 😂🤮

@@splod44 ah yes sorry! i just remembered how i ranted about me not being able to sleep haha. I forgot myself for a moment. Sorry XD
@@Adam_Garratt Ah, Thank you for all the videos I have been binge watching all day.
@@splod44 thank you my friend!
Hi Adam, sorry for messaging in a none vid day but just wanted to say I made your pie and completely ruined it 🤣🤣🤣 oh well up there chippy I go lol 😆 bye
Oh Beryl! 😂 Practice makes perfect. Trust me I mess up too 😂
0:42 No offence intended as I do like the stuff you cook but alot of it is VERY high in carbs/sugars, which have a high GI, get converted to sugar easily, then stored as fat etc. Alot of it is comfort food eg. pies, potatoes, pizzas etc which is tasty but its very easy to eat this sort of stuff in excess. Great if you're prehistoric caveman in a cave shielding from dinosaurs, but you need different options in the 21st century as "food" is rarely in short supply and we're much more sedentary!
Oh I have a bunch of healthier less carb recipes. I actually eat quite a varied diet, I guess some videos fall on days where I pig out 😂
