Shepherds Pie - A Delicious Basic To Feed The Family

Growing up in Scotland, Shepherd's/cottage pie day was always one of the best days of the week. BTW a trick for those with or without Coeliac disease is to add a few handfuls of oats instead of flour. It thickens the stew & being penny pinching Scots made the meat serve more people. It also tastes great, adds fibre & slow release energy, I like the slightly nutty flavour it adds to the meal.

I really love how thoughtful you are about different people's capabilities, the comments about people who have mobility issues or those with celiac disease. I haven't seen that level of care in others recipe videos.

Whether it’s shepherds pie or cottage pie, it’s absolutely delicious! One of the best meals I’ve ever eaten! Thanks for the recipe Andy!

Leaving in the small bloopers is great

Thankyou for mentioning “ if you have a disability “. I have arthritis in my hands but I I can chop things just fine. My trouble now is lifting heavy pots, because I had a fall and had to have an elbow replacement. I’m not allowed to to lift anything heavy or use machinery that could compromise the glue. David Lebovitz spoke about some pans that are light and brilliant, because he is injured after being a line cook in Paris. I’ve saved his article somewhere but it s very nice of you to take time to recognise us. Jacques Pepin peels potatoes the only way I can. I can’t hold a potato and rotate it. I cut off both ends and stand it on the board and peel in strips, as he does, but I can’t peel a carrot the way he says. I have to do the double ended scrape 😂

Appreciate your wholesome content beyond words Andy. I suffer from seizures from an armed forces incidence. I sometimes shy away from cutting things like garlic without a protective glove, so tend to cheat. Just appreciate your advice and inclusivity, I don't identify as having a disability but I love how much your recipes are helpful for all home chefs. Stay awesome brother 👌🏼you help more people than you may understand

Really like the long format vids Andy. Appreciate you.

Even on days you can’t talk, I still love your videos 😉 especially when you include those of us with disabilities in cooking!

I haven’t cooked shepherds pie for decades as I’m lucky enough to have a husband who cooks a great one. He adds Worcestershire and soy sauce foe extra yumminess.

"Taste your food as you cook" is the most important guide when preparing any dish

It's crazy how much this recipe has in common with a bolognese, at least at the start. Thanks for the recipe Andy, you rock.

If I had to choose one dish I'd be eating for the rest of my life, shepherd's pie would be it 💓

My Mum often made Cottage or Shepherd's pie on Mondays, from the left over roast. We are far nearer to Scotland than London, there was always more potato to filling than you are using but a Scot's cheese and crumb topping. I tend to use minced beef or lamb now. Add in some frozen peas to the recipe and this is just so yummy!

More than anything is hearing Aussie's "noises" when expressing things. Like "ooohwah". Love that! You can't do any wrong Andy! This looks delish! 💯 💯 💯

Love your work dude. Am getting my shit together after a period of very poor mental health. It's often food and nutrition that suffers first and your videos are rekindling my love of cooking. Nice one fella!! Big luv!

Story of my life "I've put myself in this predicament, so I'll carry on."

Great stuff. Cooking this for my family is one of the great pleasures in life. Your channel has elavated my cooking so much. Thank you!

My Mother always cooked her Shepherd Pie with a pastry crust - thanks for the memory!! This recipe is now a family fave

Either shepherds or cottage. Always love baked beans with it. Proper mothers hug food

I'm loving these large family one pan meals, it's getting my deep freeze nicely packed. Thanks Andy, this week's meals!!
