I'm going to try and make a chicken and mushroom pie with puff pastry. However, how do I make the base and sides without it getting all soggy? Does the pastry need to be cooked first or do I just pour in the ingredients on raw pastry?
I'm actually just tempted to forget the base and sides and just cover the top with puff pastry but I really want to try and make a real pie for a change as I'm not much of a cook.
Any advise would be great, thanks!

Thanks Ruth, think I might just do that. I don't fancy soggy pastry..ha ha
I'm not too bothered about calories at the moment as I'm giving birth in a few weeks and just making the most of eating anything I want until after the birth :)

I have heard, but I haven't tried this myself - place a layer of grated cheese on top of the pastry before piling on the filling.
