Dear John hello. I am most likely your oldest student. I am 99 yrs old and I have not had a wonderful Shepherds Pie in abt 80 yrs. My Pop was Welsh Scottish-British and his recipe is very much like yours. Well I got into my kitchen and I made your recipe. It was just lovely, the flavors were all there. It was delicious! Thank you for reteaching me, for helping me to remember this wonderful recipe. God Bless you Lad. Ann 👵🙏

Hello John. I followed this recipe yesterday, except I used beef so cottage pie then. The only thing I did differently was use supermarket frozen mixed veg (carrot, peas, green beans and sweetcorn) instead of the carrots and turnips you used. It worked a treat and I got massive praise from my wife and mother in law. They don't know about your channel and they just think I'm brilliant so I'm going to keep it that way. Thanks.

I thought it may be a bit dry.... nope...it wasn't... it was spot on ! .... gotta hand it to John Kirkwood, his recipes work.... PS.

Fortunately I shop in larger quantities to save fuel costs and my travel time. This business also delivers weekly. My choice this order was 10 pounds of frozen ground lamb in one pound packages and 10 kilos of individually frozen chicken drumsticks. I'll be making plenty of Shepherds Pie in the near future.

I just noticed your technique of using a paper towel on the cutting board for the trimmings. Just fold back the paper towel when you need to cut. Simple and brilliant! I will use this. BTW, Russet potatoes are mealy while Yukon Gold are creamy. For a baked potato it's hard to beat a Russet but for french fries Yukon Gold are superior. Since they are quite a bit different from each other, I wonder how they compare with the potatoes you're using, whether more mealy or more creamy. Visually speaking, I'd say your potatoes are more mealy so Russet potatoes are the better substitute.

What a handsome couple you are, John. Our local grocery store periodically carries ground lamb now. I will have to try it. As we were driving back from my parents in Virginia yesterday, my daughter for the 1st time noticed all the flocks of sheep along Interstate 81. I told her lambing season is at hand and the family farm operations will have their hands full.

John, it is a wintery mix here in the mountains of Upper East Tennessee. The mountains behind the house is covered in snow and wind is biting at the moment. What better to serve the family than a Sheppard's Pie. Since I have a freezer full of venison, I guess technically it is a Hunter's Pie? Yorkshire Pudding with and a brown gravy will top it off. My granddaughter wants a dessert so blackberry cobbler for her.

Oh boy does that sound delicious Ron. I hope you loved your Hunter's Pie. This is one of my favourite things to eat. I make a big batch, using Beef which technically makes it a Cottage Pie but most people still call it Shepherd's, when it's done I can get 8-9 portions which I put in individual foil dishes and freeze, easy meals for cold & windy nights. Your comment is sending me out to the freezer for one of them lol. Doubt I could manage a dessert but hope yours hit the spot.

To me, shepherds pie has to be made with left-over meat from a roast joint, it's another of the great British dishes made using left-overs. Lamb, here, in Spain is pretty much a rarity in part because of lack of availability and in part because of cost. For this reason ours is invariably a swineherd's pie being made from left over roast pork.
