  • 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.

    The best thing about Chef- when he forgets something like garlic, he doesn't reshoot to try to make himself look flawless.

      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.

    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!

      His way of rolling with the punches is why I think he's a true artist. Look at any good creative type of person, you'll notice that most of them will cover up or work with a mistake rather than try to erase it.

      @@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.

    Thank you, Chef, for sharing your recipe, techniques, and tips.
