★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5 stars.Who knew beetroot - a much maligned vegetable - could taste so good. A lot of people are put off beetroot as all they know is the pickled variety but I urge you to try this recipe and take a different view of beetroot.

★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5 stars.Loved this recipe. Beetroot is my favourite veg although most people associate it with the pickled variety - love that too. This pie has a great texture and taste will definitely make it one of my favourites.

★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5 stars.Delicious! A lot of people are put off beetroot as they've only tasted it once it's been pickled. Unpickled beetroot is sweet and has a great texture and colour but, be warned, it stains everything in sight.
