  • Hello There Friends, Today I'm going to be making one of my favorites. Shepherd's Pie, or since it's made with beef, a Cottage Pie. This is so delicious and you must make it with my buttery yukon gold mashed potatoes. Remember to get a perfect slice you must refrigerate it and then reheat it after cutting. Let me know what you think in the comments below.

    As a former professional, I simply never watched cooking shows. But with Chef Jean-Pierre I have made an exception. I simply love the way he makes his audience feel like they are a part of the process and in on the humor. His fun personality is so opposite of many of the Chefs I have worked under and with. He approaches food with an attitude of " its food, not life and death" as many Chefs do. He makes mistakes and rolls with it like a champ. Chin Chin Chef Jean-Pierre and Thanks!

      I immediately become suspicious when cooks look flawless but then there's a bunch of cuts and edits in their videos. Did they even cook it themselves? XD
      Also, it's actually great to learn how to actually deal with mistakes when they pop up because they're inevitable. He could even joke about how it's intentional for creating a learning opportunity but he's too honest and cool a dude for even that.

    In America we eat a “shepherds pie” - and it can be made of any meat you wish. Hahaha because it’s delicious like this one, and each family has its own version. We simply don’t care as long as we enjoy it. “Here! Have some shepherd’s pie!” “Oh my that was the best ground beef in that pie!” 😀
    Of course people will associate shepherds with sheep. That’s a given. 😃
    Chef, you are so dearly loved. A million thanks for all the patience and caring you show to your viewers, outside of the fabulous foods we enjoy. You have taught us not just how to cook, but why each bit matters, and I will always love you for such respectful teaching. Genius, really.
    I scan this channel all the time for a recipe that I’m in the mood for.

    I made this for dinner this evening and it was a smash hit! We loved it and will be making it again and often. None of us had ever seen potatoes at both the bottom and top and it is a great idea. It is a bit ti8me consuming to make, but well worth it and if you give it the time to do everything as Chef Jean-Pierre says to do it, I think you agree it is well worth it. Nothing complicated or difficult about it at all, especially if you do some of it in advance. I hope everyone will give it a try. I made it as cottage pie. I wanted to make it as shepherd's pie, but my grocery store was out of ground lamb. Nevertheless, absolutely delicious either way. The entire process before putting it into the oven took less than an hour.

    In the U.K Shepherds Pie is made with lamb and Cottage Pie is made with beef. And instead of a tomato we make a thick beef/lamb gravy and add that to the meat. The mash and rest of the veg is basically the same, though mushrooms are one Ive not used before. Love the channel, chef.

      @@ChefJeanPierre Here is my shepherd's pie recipe to try:
      Brown off a pound of minced/ground lamb, drain off the fat, add in 1 sweated off onion plus sauteed carrot.
      Add to this mixture, still in its hob cooking pot, a good handful of rolled oats, mix rapidly and add a good glass [about 250ml] of red wine immediately.
      Follow this with 2 tablespoons of tomato puree. Mix. Bring to the boil and then add in Worcestershire sauce OR Henderson's Relish to taste.
      Reduce the whole mix on the hob to desired consistency, then use as a base layer in something like a lasagne dish.
      Top off with mashed potato. Can slacken the mash with egg yolk, which will enrich the result and increase the nutritional value and will also result in the top browning nicely.
      Adding nutmeg to the mash also gives an interesting flavour. Or instead...the potato can be mashed together with swede/rutabaga.

I've never seen tomato in any version of cottage (beef) or shepherd's (lamb) pie, but I have to say that looks good and I'm trying it today. I usually put the meat, onion, carrot etc, mix it with potato starch instead of flour and bake it rather than fry it, but I'll follow your instructions. Very clear video.

It is so fresh and marvelous. I added frech corn cut feom the cob and used fresh thyme and fresh oregano from my garden. Mastering the onyo took some failures before success. Thank you so much for making this cooking style accessible.

      Just to be specific,technically for meat you are causing Malliard reactions to occur. Sugars caramelize. Similar but much more complicated process for proteins, similar savory results. In any event, like I say, no recipe says grey or tan your meat, they all say BROWN your meat, and man, like you said, it makes a huge difference!!!

    I will make this recipe with fire roasted crushed tomatoes, roasted tomato paste, Spicy V-8 Juice, and carmelized yellow onions (cut in thin wedge slices).
    Thank you, Chef, for sharing your recipe, techniques, and tips.
    Tip, I like green peas and mashed potatoes together. So, I drop frozen peas into boiling water for 60 seconds, drain, pat dry and put a layer of peas between the meat mixture and potatoes.

It just makes my Sundays a little better. It's funny how he has this New York Italian accent but at times, he gives his French heritage away when he says words like 'Onio'.
