The Story Behind The Recipe
The most exciting night of the week for me as a kid was Shepherd's Pie night! Winter nights after school, sat down with my family with a great big ladle, tucking into a huge Pyrex dish of Sheps Pie was pure bliss. It's a
real family feast that conjurers up only good memories for me. The best bit was chiselling off all the burnt bits round the edge.
I now cook it every time I get a new boyfriend, so that's a few times a year.
