It's boxing day in Canada, and I'm having a rest after all the Christmas visiting. So for my treat, I've put on your entire pies and pastys playlist. Bliss! Thank you ♡
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 don't really cook often but I wanted to treat my husband to something nice. This was my first time making Shepherds pie and it turned out really great. Thanks John.
Hi John, I love watching and listening to your recipe shows, my father was from Sunderland and you sound like him. Your recipes are brilliant, My husband of 36 years has always said I was a good cook but you have made me an even better cook. Thank you so much. Linda x
Thank you Linda and thanks for watching my friend, Here is the ingredients list and full written method on my website. profoodhomemade.com/ham-and-leek-bake/ Happy new year and all the best for 2023.
Hi John! Thank you ever so much for adding Americanisms in your videos and recipes. I'm so glad for all your success! 728,000 SUBSCRIBERS! Could you have ever dreamed? Congratulations, and thank you.
Ha ha, I never thought of that!! I'm not a lamb person and I never put the two and two together on why it's called Shepard's pie.. I can't stop watching these videos John, They're fantastic!!
Glad you liked it my friend. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Shepherds pie profoodhomemade.com/shepherds-pie/
I've been making shepherd's pie for 30 years + .... it's a British staple for sure ! ... but I tried this, as a result of previous successes with John's recipes ..... I really enjoyed it... the dried thyme, the finely chopped swede, cheese on top were new to me.....and surprisingly (To me) there was no need to add extra liquid... 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. I made this from John's book, rather than keep referring to the video.
@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade I add water as well as stock cubes and slow cook my mince (lamb) mixture for a couple of hours, then thicken with gravy granules and add mint sauce. (I fry off my mince lamb early in the morning)

Hello John, I love all your recipes and the way you cook is how I was taught by my domestic science teacher in the early 70's. I've continued to cook, and taught my mother who became an expert in cooking English dishes. You've brought back some wonderful memories with your recipes. Thank you.
John, you made me a misty-eyed with this recipe. My mum would make cottage pie every year on the first really cold day of winter. Thank you for the wonderful memories. Blessings to you and your family...
Everything I cook reminds me of my long lost parents, probably why I became a chef, I'm pleased my recipe has conjured up some precious memories my friend.❤👍
That was my job growing up my Mom always had me mash the potatoes and she never would give me the butter until they were mashed enough then salt and white pepper that reminds me I have never seen anyone use white pepper other than you its what got my interest in your videos

God bless you sir John. …. And we roll onto another great recipe. In near future You have changed my outlook into cooking with clear precise instructions and 100% foolproof ( in my case ) results. Thank you sir. Ps the 3 books I purchased from your shop are amazing. Along with several other products. Making me into a mini chef. Good man. Keep up the excellent work John and thanks for sharing. 🥰
Thanks for the video. So many people don't know that Shepherd's pie is usually lamb - hence the name. If we use beef it is cottage pie. I watched a chef who used chutney -- I tried it and now always use it.

Very kind, and thanks again for watching Jeannette, it really is much appreciated, I find cooking a lot easier than this computer technical work, I'm stumbling my way through it, but getting there slowly. 👍😃😉
This is the first recipe I have come across that doesn’t use wine or stock! I’m giving this ago seems so much easier. Last winter I used your steak pie recipe and it went down a treat. So I’m definitely going to use this but making the beef version so it will be cottage pie.

Sadly, lamb is not readily available in my area of the US, but the beef version of this recipe is extraordinary. I faced a few challenges, though; the 'neeps' had to be attacked......yes attacked, with my electric knife. Thankfully, John's instructions were so precise it enabled me to have all components of this dish ready for the oven at the same time...whew! I now have a new Sunday dinner favorite. Thank you,
Thanks again for watching Jeannette, much appreciated, sorry you had a struggle with your turnip, they can be a bit difficult to peel and chop, you could use diced potatoes or parsnip if you find it a bit easier. And thank you once again for you kindness and help😉👍 much appreciated.

Just made this dish. Halved it, as just for me and my 2 kids. It was delicious! The only changes I made was to add a chopped garlic clove to the meat and veg and a little milk in the potatoes as mine were a little dry , but otherwise followed everything else and I couldn't be happier with the result. Definitely added this to my favorite recipes to make again and again! Thank you!

I will give you a shout-out and name splash on my very next video, thanks again my friend. John.
Shepherd's pie is possibly my favorite food in the world. I suppose I should say cottage pie because in the states we tend to use beef or a mixture. This looks fantastic.
Wonderful. I've never made Shepherds pie with Lamb. I was raised in Alaska and was raised on Moose, so, I've made it with beef and moose. I'll have to give your recipe with lamb a try. Oh and congrats on your website!
@@eugenedanker2377 Exactly. It's where the name comes from. You can also put some chopped leeks into the mash (my Nan used to do this, very nice. Oh and she used to use Rosemary instead of Thyme)
I thought to cook a pie to our family and found that John also has a video for that. Thank you John. Also your baguettes that I make are better and better. Thank you.

Thank You for using LAMB as is the CORRECT WAY! In the states many places use BEEF, I tell them that is Cottage Pie and often get " Well ..... that is how we make it here". Another great video.
You videos on meat pies are very helpful , as you take the time to walk through making a proper hot crust pastry dough , a winter warmer that I like to make is Scouse
I am just about to make this comforting beauty John!!! I am making a cottage pie, unfortunately minced lamb isn’t something readily available, I guess I could mince my own but I am a bit on the lazy side just coming off many rounds of chemo for stage 4 metastatic breast cancer so I have to pace myself. Thank you for sharing with us John I really enjoy watching, listening and sometimes actually making!! Many thanks ❤️~Tina~❤️

This dish has been a lifelong favorite of mine for 50 yrs. It's always a hit !!! Being from the states I've always had it with beef or venison and used peas instead of turnips. But will certainly be adding them next time; I love them. Great video
Thanks, John! I only found your channel last week, and as I haven’t got any corned beef to hand tried this excellent recipe. Minced lamb is hard to find here in Spain, but we have a friendly butcher, and I had some in the freezer. Thanks for a very tasty lunch!

my local regional commercial food supplier also serves home deliveries if you order in bulk quantities. One is advised to have available deep freezer space and pantry cupboard space. 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.
Im a 'cottage' pie man myself, but id definitely down some of that! Amazing work as always, thanks for sharing John, that fork line technique is my end move too lol PS. I always pictured you with a beard 😁 I wish you and your lovely wife, the very best with the new site, and a great future ahead 👍🏼
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.
Glad you made that point at the end, I have seen way too many restaurants put "Shepherd's Pie" on their menu but then it uses beef. One of my major pet peeves

I'm lame on breads too, so I'm so glad I wandered across your channel! Will definitely be sharing with my daughter and friends.
So good to find a channel where not everything is described as 'This bad boy' lol!
Cheers John x
I very nearly said "these bad boys" in one of my Yorkshire pudding videos, but my wife dragged me back from that and made me re-edit it 😂🤣.

Just made this dish. Halved it, as just for me and my 2 kids. It was delicious! The only changes I made was to add a chopped garlic clove to the meat and veg and a little milk in the potatoes as mine were a little dry , but otherwise followed everything else and I couldn't be happier with the result. Definitely added this to my favorite recipes to make again and again! Thank you!

Thanks!
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind "$ SUPER THANKS" Jonathan. Your contribution to the channel really helps me maintain the good quality of my videos, and also goes a long way towards increasingly expensive ingredients and production costs. I will give you a shout-out and name splash on my very next video, thanks again my friend. John.
Shepherd's pie is possibly my favorite food in the world. I suppose I should say cottage pie because in the states we tend to use beef or a mixture. This looks fantastic.
Thanks Sue, here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Shepherds pie profoodhomemade.com/shepherds-pie/
Wonderful. I've never made Shepherds pie with Lamb. I was raised in Alaska and was raised on Moose, so, I've made it with beef and moose. I'll have to give your recipe with lamb a try. Oh and congrats on your website!
Thanks again for watching Margaret, much appreciated my friend 😉.
My understanding is that Shepherds pie is made with lamb. Using another meat such as ground beef makes a Cottage pie.
@@eugenedanker2377 you are correct. If you use just vegetables or do lentils and vegetables then it’s shepherdess pie.
@@eugenedanker2377 Exactly. It's where the name comes from. You can also put some chopped leeks into the mash (my Nan used to do this, very nice. Oh and she used to use Rosemary instead of Thyme)
I thought to cook a pie to our family and found that John also has a video for that. Thank you John. Also your baguettes that I make are better and better. Thank you.
Thanks again for watching my friend.

Thanks again for watching Dubi Lazar, much appreciated, very kind thank you 👍😃😉
Thank You for using LAMB as is the CORRECT WAY! In the states many places use BEEF, I tell them that is Cottage Pie and often get " Well ..... that is how we make it here". Another great video.
Thanks again for watching Vincent, much appreciated.
You videos on meat pies are very helpful , as you take the time to walk through making a proper hot crust pastry dough , a winter warmer that I like to make is Scouse
Thank you, and thanks for watching my friend. My latest Bread video recipe. Crispy Tiger rolls. profoodhomemade.com/tiger-rolls/
I am just about to make this comforting beauty John!!! I am making a cottage pie, unfortunately minced lamb isn’t something readily available, I guess I could mince my own but I am a bit on the lazy side just coming off many rounds of chemo for stage 4 metastatic breast cancer so I have to pace myself. Thank you for sharing with us John I really enjoy watching, listening and sometimes actually making!! Many thanks ❤️~Tina~❤️
Ground beef is also acceptable Lulu. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Shepherds pie profoodhomemade.com/shepherds-pie/
Oh that shepherds pie looks absolutely delicious. Thanks very much for another winner recipe.
If I'm honest, I'll go for a couple of portions when I make this!

As a vegetarian I substitute a mix of veggie burger and veggie sausage and. some turmeric and black pepper too. YUM perfect winter fare.
Great recipe. I am making this dish this weekend for the 3rd time. I like to use a good prime eye round steak and slow cook it then shred it, so Cottage Pie. We like Golden Yukon potatoes for mash and we keep the skins on, same with our carrots. Thanks John.

Thanks for another Great british Recipe John.
Your website is really nice. So colorful! I love Shepherds pie. This look delicious.

Thanks again for watching Justme77, much appreciated, 😃👍😉
This dish has been a lifelong favorite of mine for 50 yrs. It's always a hit !!!
Being from the states I've always had it with beef or venison and used peas instead of turnips. But will certainly be adding them next time; I love them. Great video
Thanks for watching my friend.
A good recipe and congratulations on the launch of your new site.
Thanks Adam😃😉👍
Thanks, John! I only found your channel last week, and as I haven’t got any corned beef to hand tried this excellent recipe. Minced lamb is hard to find here in Spain, but we have a friendly butcher, and I had some in the freezer. Thanks for a very tasty lunch!
Nice one Paul, thanks for watching much appreciated. Please like share and subscribe for more great video recipes.
I love a touch of nutmeg in my mash. 👍🏻
Great recipe, though. Simple, straightforward and hearty! Perfect winter warmer!

Hi John, love that you use turnip in your Shepherds Pie.
Thanks again for watching, much appreciated. I love turnip in SP, a few good quality frozen garden peas goes well too.
my local regional commercial food supplier also serves home deliveries if you order in bulk quantities. One is advised to have available deep freezer space and pantry cupboard space. 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.
One of my favourite dishes John & well presented in this video. Thank you for sharing your hard work, much appreciated. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it Richard.
Im a 'cottage' pie man myself, but id definitely down some of that! Amazing work as always, thanks for sharing John, that fork line technique is my end move too lol
PS. I always pictured you with a beard 😁 I wish you and your lovely wife, the very best with the new site, and a great future ahead 👍🏼
Very kind Ian, thanks a lot mate.😃👍😉
Yes. My mom taught me that too.
@@dee2251 *mum
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.
Thanks again Ron you're too kind mate. Aye it must be a real busy time for the farmers Ron.
Very, with breached births and all. Hopefully they will have a mild season weather wise.
One of my all time favourite meals, thanks.
Mine too P.
Glad you made that point at the end, I have seen way too many restaurants put "Shepherd's Pie" on their menu but then it uses beef. One of my major pet peeves
Wow John lovely to see you both.x
Thanks Amands. 😀😉👍.
Looks gorgeous. will definitely try it soon. Thanks John and congrats for the new website. a great idea
