Wow! Five years ago! I grew up mostly in the USA with Scottish parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins...and strictly Scottish meals. I never had pizza at home, and I was 20 before I ate a taco! Your recipes (and voice) take me straight back to my roots. We've made more mince and tatties, stew and dumplings, Stovies, etc in the years that we've been watching your videos than we have in years. You are a joy to watch!
I'm french and the first time I ate Scottish Shepherd's pie, it was 6 years ago during a trip in England. We were staying in the Kent County into families (home) that were willing to take us for a week, and I remember so well the family I was in because they were Scots and I was 13 at the time and I had such a hard time understanding what they were saying because of the accent. Anyway, on the first night, the mom took us in the kitchen and tried to teach us how to cook this and this was so damn delicious, also, your voice and your accent remind me of her, and she was a lovely lady. Every night of the week she was taking us to the kitchen and we were helping her to cook dishes from Scotland. When we left, she gave us booknotes with her recipes hand written in it. I still have it and I still cook her scottish dishes since. I don't exactly know how I found your video because I was watching completely different recipes but hearing your voice and accent made me smile and reminded me of that. I couldn't help but watch the whole video, put a thumb up and subscribe !
So glad u make these video's! I'm a Native American elder living in the United state's n my grandmother was from Scotland - She was reared in Canada n never spoke much English - even though her family moved 2 the U. S. when she was a14 ears old throughout her life she only cooked traditional Scottish or Canadian food's. The language barrier not only prevented me from learning her recipe's but I never got 2 learn about her culture. Watching u'r video's n cooking with u recipe's has actually helped me 2 understand a part of my own family's past! I sincerely appreciate/respect the time u've taken 2 make/share u'r recipe's! : )
I am in the US and grew up on shepard's pie. I have Scottish, English and Irish roots, My Ancestry goes back to Robert The Bruce, I would add a littke bit of water to the mince and add dry inion soup mix for flavor. Love your recipes!
I just found this video. I noticed that first videos always sound like the person is nervous but I thought you did an admirable job. Thank you for the recipes you have shared.
I learned how to make Shepherds Pie from my mother-in-law when I first got married, 45 yrs ago. She learned it from her Cornish grandmother. I taught my own daughters and its a staple in both of their kitchens. The only difference between mine and yours are the Oxo cubes-we dont have them in America. All we have are bullion cubes which are sooo salty, I never use them. Thanks for the video of someone making it like I do.
Hi I'm Rebecca from Cascade mountain s inUSA. IT IS A WHOLE WORLD OPEM TO ME. Love to learn from you and funny cute words. Mince = hamburger etc. Fun !
I saw this first UA-cam video when it was uploaded! Every now and then I go back just to watch it not sure why. Sure will you make some of the best food and I need to start to make your recipes.
absolutely love this content! watched quite a few of your other videos, loved the cullen skink recipe. Would love to see more of these family recipes. it's great that you're not gordon ramsay and it's refreshing! it's a great insight to see what kind of flavor combinations are the most exciting for your local people. keep on going, all the best!
Growing up in Virginia in the United States, I was always told from a young age that Shepherd's Pie was made with lamb and Cottage Pie with beef. Later, as a teenager, I heard the sarcastic jibe that Shepherd Pie was made with Shepherd. I guess that was the Hannibal Lector version.
Cheryl it looks delicious! I’m going to make it just like you did with the beef. Thank you! You’re videos have come a long way since this one. God bless you sweetie for doing so good for all of your fans. Bye for now love!
I'm always looking what meals to cook an what a selection you've got x it was fish pie today x thanks for adding your shopping list too that's a great idea thank you I've subbed x
I also have just come across your cooking site, I have watched your "Roast Cauliflower and Cheese Sauce" and your "Beef Pie". I will be making these dishes copying your recipe and method of cooking. I hope I do as well as you. I will look out for more of your recipes, many thanks and keep up the good work (cooking).
Originally, a pie made with any kind of meat and mashed potato was called a "cottage pie". In modern British English, the dish is usually called "cottage pie" if it is made with beef. If it is made with lamb it is usually called "shepherd's pie" (because a shepherd looks after sheep). Typical ingredients: Lamb and mutton
@@carolcurtis1573 Not 'still' called, now called. If she's called it shepherds pie, it's shepherds pie. Anyone wanting to use lamb instead, should actually be sourcing Mutton and not necessarily 'minced', because lamb mince is definitely a modern twist in such dishes.
Shepherd's Pie can have beef mince. If you are "in the know" then you know it's beef. Shepherds don't grow potatoes or make cheese either haha. This recipe has been passed down through generations, it's a traditional farmer's recipe so whatever livestock he had his wife would make this, super wholesome, balanced meal. I think cottage pies don't have cheese on top and it's the cheese that make it a Shepherds Pie.
@@PirateCommanderif I call myself an alpaca, am I an alpaca? Don’t be ridiculous. A shepherds pie is so-called as it’s meat source is reared by a shepherd. They’re called sheep (cheeky wee clue there). A Shepherd’s pie must contain the meat of an animal reared by a shepherd or it’s not feckin shepherds pie 😂
Subscribed Hun - I am going to make this for sure so I will save the vid for when I make it :) I love you have a channel and lovely to hear what you sound like. Can’t wait for more vids. X
Awww thanks Michelle means so much :) I think I sound more and more Scottish as the vid goes on lol....I was very conscious of my accent 'cause you just don't know who will be watching....and they may not understand you! x
I too like your voice. I was born and schooled S.W. Of Glasgow near Wishaw and my so called accent is very similar to yours. When people here in Canada say “what’s your accent” I say “What’s yours?” I speak the Queen’s English!
Hi Lucy....thanks so much for your support! Means so much :) I have quite a strong accent lol...I was quite conscious of it in case it was too difficult to understand :) xxx
I might be making Cottage Pie in a few hours (have a houseguest coming, so I'll let him decide) and I wanted to review your recipes. I *love* that this was your very first video, and to see how far you've come in just a short while is so neat! Many blessings on you and your household, for you are a gift to all of your viewers & subscribers!
@@WhatsForTea Yes, I did make it! I ended up doing something between your original easier version, and then the fancy one that called for red wine, and a whole bunch of other ingredients. It made *6 healthy servings, and everyone said it was tasty (they know better than to lie) LOL! Thank you bunches for all of your continued excellent work! *Edited because I can't math that great on three hours of sleep ~lame chuckle~.
Mutton is the main ingredients in shepherds pie from someone brought up on a sheep farm in scotland beef is what is used south of the border, love the tablet......
Mick Robb Hiya 😊 yes I realised my mistake when I uploaded this lol....but didn’t want to redo the whole thing...but I’ll be doing an updated version of this soon! Ta for stopping by 😊
@@PD62155 Or another topping is to leave off the cheese and crush a bag of Salt & Vinegar Crisps and sprinkle on top before putting in oven (another highland Invention.!!!!)
Diane Paton - it’s no wonder we manage to confuse people from other countries 😂🤣 cottage pie with cheese on top is called Cumberland pie, lol. It’s almost as bad as our confusing language, they’re, there and their come to mind. 😂🤣
Hello and welcome Shirley :) yes of course, consider it done....I'll pop the scone recipe up at some point this week and the Scotch eggs next week. Lovely to see you and thanks for dropping by :)
Hey Cheryl, just started watching your videos from the beginning. Grew up eating a version of this as my Nanna would make it often to feed a bunch of hungry grandkids 😁 Plus, you gave me some great ideas for the next time I make this dish. Not adding all the mince at once and since Hubby loves peas and I don’t, I can just serve them on the side🥰 So nice to see you’ve been awesome from the start!
Just found your channel, memories of the recipes my mom would make, her dad was from Glasgow. You wouldn't happen to have a recipe for cornish pasties would you? and scotch pies by any chance?
Hi Kimberley :) I'll be popping up a recipe for Forfar Bridies next week which is quite similar. I've already done a recipe for beef & onion pasties... here's a link incase you want to see it: ua-cam.com/video/rb0eCkiHw-I/v-deo.html Thanks for watching :)
Hi Cheryl I've watched lots of your videos and always love them, but i had a good giggle to myself with this one being your very 1st, nice to see the rawness and innocence, you are a lot more polished nowadays, but just as lovable as this 1st one
My favourite comfort food. If I lost at football as a kid, mam would make this for me. Lovely recipe and video! Always with beef mince too! These recipes have been passed down since forever.
I have had Shepards pie with ground beef all my life, Love love love it when made by my wife. Have never heard this called Cottage pie, Have I been eating a delicious lie?
Lol me as well.. I had a Scottish Great Gran (Dad's dad's mother), and an English Great Grandmother (Mum's Dad's mother), originally from London... I personally couldn't stand her accent now Great Gran Robertson I could listen to forever even if I had been naughty and she was mad, at me lol I also had Irish great Grandfather (Mum's mother's father, her mother passed when she was 9 but also Irish) who passed when I was little so I don't remember much of them. The rest of the great grandparents were Canadian...until the next generation back... more Scottish and English...lol So a lot of what she makes I grew up with...mmmm
Interesting that you left the carrots quite large, I will try that. I have a couple of Chilli Con Carnes in the freezer to consume before I fill it again and I will try this. I had it in mind to make individual portion sizes in foil trays, like the supermarket next time but in the past when I have made this I have baked the lot, as you have, and then dolluped portions into plastic trays for freezing.. I tend to make 6 eat one and freeze the rest. I would have thought that a a Scottish Lass you would have included Neaps :-). Nice video, saw your one about Stovies also and that I will make very soon also, just need space in the freezer. James
Hi James :) I typically serve neeps with haggis or minced beef....and in some soups. But come to think of it, it would be nice with this too....next time! I'll be doing an updated version of this soon! This was a bit long winded and I hadn't really got to grips with editing videos down lol. Thanks for stopping by
I’m like you. I grew up in Edinburgh, and we called it Shepherd’s Pie too. Made with mince not lamb. I wonder if that’s a colloquial thing to that general area in Scotland? I can still hear my grandma’s voice telling me to keep the tatties dry !
I made this for the first time and it is so tasty. As a midwestern American, meat and potatoes were a staple growing up and this is a nice play on that. Would highly recommend others to try it (I used sweet corn instead of carrots though - was so tasty!)
It's great coming across your first UA-cam video. Now you're still going strong and wow, look at the subscribers. I like how you keep saying things like your are no-cook or chef or in this case no Gordon Ramsay... well actually you are just that, look at the meals you teach us all to make, and they are delicious too. Well done, you deserve all the success in the world!
I love this channel, this lady does good, wholesome food. I'm sick of seeing recipes for all these fancy recipes which have about 50 ingredients to make the dish. Im loving these recipes.
Sheppards pie or Cottage pie What difference does it make There are all sorts of things that are called by different names And Im sure she knows the difference between the two When I make Sheppards pie with beef thats what I call it Cottage pie also typically has tomato paste in it where Sheppards pie usually does not Anyway your free to call it what you want
Please can you tell me exactly what is in the gravy browning? I'm from Australia and had never heard of it. Do you buy it or make it?? Your recipes look extremely tasty and I cannot wait to hear from you about this gravy browning stuff!!
Gosh, I’m watching this for the first time, I love watching the way other people make things!Even then you sounded more confident than I would for my first video, I just couldn’t do it! I saw a recipe for Welsh Shepherds Pie, so I watched it, to see what (if any) difference there is between how it’s made now, and the traditional way...there’s a massive difference, it’s incredibly long winded, and I can’t see the need for it!
I'm curious if it would benefit to use a potato ricer. Also, congrats on the progress of your channel. I've watched some of your newer videos, and the quality is astounding. Amazing job!
This a great favourite in our house just had mention about the comment you made about things changing this happened to me I prep every thing meat onions carrots and peas every thing was going well until I came to the potatoes which to my dismay we had none must have been the first time ever having no spuds in the house so am thinking what am a going to do every thing ready but no spuds but there staring at me in the veg rack was a big cabbage drum head and yes you guessed it I used that in stead of spuds and it was delicious just replaced the spuds with cabbage and butter and it went down really well so now I ask spuds or cabbage on the shepards pie I was really surprised how cabbage and minced beef go together it all turned out well in the end just wonderd if any thing had happened you done and turned out well
I learned to make Shepherd's Pie from my Scottish grandmother, who always used leftover roast beef which she put through a meat grinder. Lamb wasn't much available where we lived at that time, but one would think that when she lived in lowland Sotland she could have had it that way. Anyway, she always called it 'Shepherd's Pie' although she always used beef during my childhood. Also, she used cooked meat (leftover roast beef) and she always put the potatoes through a potato ricer rather than mash them. This gives a lovely fluffy top to the pie. I've revised her recipe a bit, since we never have roast beef nowadays at my house because it's too expensive, but I've still never made it with ground beef as it comes from the market. Nowadays I add peas and usually put a bottom layer of potatoes in because I don't have too much meat available. I also do as you do and use onions (which I don't believe my grandmother did; she came from a generation that didn't season things) and a bit of Worcestershire sauce and herbs. Mine is pretty good. Yours looks lovely too.
I'm from the States and really don't like to travel much at all, but if someone asked me the one Country i would travel to for good food it would be Scotland, and i would head for your kitchen.
Hello, I just came across your channel, I am from Dundee , Scotland but live in Canada,, love your accent, brings me home,, your meals are delicious looking, and bring back many good memories ,, loved your steak pie ,, Thank so much 😘
Hi what's for tea how are you doing in Scotland today okay and well congratulations on your youtube channel absolutely amazing congratulations to you love your videos very nice love from paul Roberts
I use a bag of frozen mixed veg in mine for a shortcut, I like having green beans, corn, carrots, peas, and lima beans in this dish. Yours looks tasty! I like how you do the gravy all in the same pan. I will try this!
I had a coworker once from Wales. He said Sheperd's pie could have most anything inside, because it was traditionally made with leftovers. He didn't like eating leftovers, so he never ate Shepherd's pie.
As a child, whatever remained of Sunday's roast was minced and served up as cottage pie or shepherd's pie on the Monday. Sometimes it wasn't minced and would materialise as a stew with veg and pearl barley, but there was always a resurrection of sorts. If the roast had been large enough, it's leftovers might have followed us around until the Tuesday or even Wednesday.
Anyone have recipe for Scots Broth soup with barley ! My mom and sister made the best ! I don’t think they used Lamb as stock base ? Wish I’d paid more attention !

I learned how to make Shepherds Pie from my mother-in-law when I first got married, 45 yrs ago. She learned it from her Cornish grandmother.
I taught my own daughters and its a staple in both of their kitchens. The only difference between mine and yours are the Oxo cubes-we dont have them in America. All we have are bullion cubes which are sooo salty, I never use them.
Thanks for the video of someone making it like I do.
Wow..so pleased to have found your first vlog.. after watching you for quite some time..💐..very enjoyable..x

It's great coming across your first UA-cam video. Now you're still going strong and wow, look at the subscribers. I like how you keep saying things like your are no-cook or chef or in this case no Gordon Ramsay... well actually you are just that, look at the meals you teach us all to make, and they are delicious too. Well done, you deserve all the success in the world!
I love this channel, this lady does good, wholesome food. I'm sick of seeing recipes for all these fancy recipes which have about 50 ingredients to make the dish. Im loving these recipes.
Very good ,congratulations on your first video. Now 2 years later your a pro ! 😷
Here in Aus, shepherd’s pie is made from Sunday’s left over lamb roast minced up.
Enjoyed the video more please xx
Thank you so much :) I'll be doing 1 or 2 vids per week to begin with. Ta for watching!
Its worth watching forthat Scottish accent alone!!
Lovly😊😊😊
Great video, please could you do a chilli and or lasagna - love to see variations and try new things. Thanks xx
Awww thanks :) I'll probably be doing 1 or 2 vids per week.....so I will do. I love lasagne too!
down south here in the uk we put onion , carrott , peas and celery in our base
Sheppards pie or Cottage pie What difference does it make There are all sorts of things that are called by different names And Im sure she knows the difference between the two When I make Sheppards pie with beef thats what I call it Cottage pie also typically has tomato paste in it where Sheppards pie usually does not Anyway your free to call it what you want
Please can you tell me exactly what is in the gravy browning? I'm from Australia and had never heard of it. Do you buy it or make it?? Your recipes look extremely tasty and I cannot wait to hear from you about this gravy browning stuff!!
Gosh, I’m watching this for the first time, I love watching the way other people make things!Even then you sounded more confident than I would for my first video, I just couldn’t do it! I saw a recipe for Welsh Shepherds Pie, so I watched it, to see what (if any) difference there is between how it’s made now, and the traditional way...there’s a massive difference, it’s incredibly long winded, and I can’t see the need for it!
I'm curious if it would benefit to use a potato ricer.
Also, congrats on the progress of your channel. I've watched some of your newer videos, and the quality is astounding. Amazing job!
Well done you! Thank you. MM
Liked, subscribed, Notification bell on!
My preference is without the carrots and add extra peas,but it looks spectacular and now I want it
Hi Cheryl great vlog can you do a steak and kidney pie sometime Cheers from Australia
This a great favourite in our house just had mention about the comment you made about things changing this happened to me I prep every thing meat onions carrots and peas every thing was going well until I came to the potatoes which to my dismay we had none must have been the first time ever having no spuds in the house so am thinking what am a going to do every thing ready but no spuds but there staring at me in the veg rack was a big cabbage drum head and yes you guessed it I used that in stead of spuds and it was delicious just replaced the spuds with cabbage and butter and it went down really well so now I ask spuds or cabbage on the shepards pie I was really surprised how cabbage and minced beef go together it all turned out well in the end just wonderd if any thing had happened you done and turned out well
I'm in love with your videos. Just a great look into scottish and british home cooking without all the fuss.
I love your show. You’re a wee star as we say. Keep up the good work . Your Irish fan .
Mmmmmm yum yum yummy
I learned to make Shepherd's Pie from my Scottish grandmother, who always used leftover roast beef which she put through a meat grinder. Lamb wasn't much available where we lived at that time, but one would think that when she lived in lowland Sotland she could have had it that way. Anyway, she always called it 'Shepherd's Pie' although she always used beef during my childhood. Also, she used cooked meat (leftover roast beef) and she always put the potatoes through a potato ricer rather than mash them. This gives a lovely fluffy top to the pie. I've revised her recipe a bit, since we never have roast beef nowadays at my house because it's too expensive, but I've still never made it with ground beef as it comes from the market. Nowadays I add peas and usually put a bottom layer of potatoes in because I don't have too much meat available. I also do as you do and use onions (which I don't believe my grandmother did; she came from a generation that didn't season things) and a bit of Worcestershire sauce and herbs. Mine is pretty good. Yours looks lovely too.
I'm from the States and really don't like to travel much at all, but if someone asked me the one Country i would travel to for good food it would be Scotland, and i would head for your kitchen.
Hello, I just came across your channel, I am from Dundee , Scotland but live in Canada,, love your accent, brings me home,, your meals are delicious looking, and bring back many good memories ,, loved your steak pie ,, Thank so much 😘

Hi Paul....yes I know :) I've just always called it shepherds pie, I got a bit mixed up x
Just you today. Aw 1st video. Scottish Heritage. Seems you use little seasoning.....explains a lot about my families preferences. Thanks
Hi what's for tea how are you doing in Scotland today okay and well congratulations on your youtube channel absolutely amazing congratulations to you love your videos very nice love from paul Roberts
I use a bag of frozen mixed veg in mine for a shortcut, I like having green beans, corn, carrots, peas, and lima beans in this dish. Yours looks tasty! I like how you do the gravy all in the same pan. I will try this!
UK 19.30. Shepherds pie is made with lamb as it refers to shepherds and their sheep.
I can't wait to try this recipe it looks delicious, thank you for sharing it.
Just saw your last vlog and the autoplay selected your very first vlog…so cool…great job. Glad you stuck with it, your a natural 👍😁
I had a coworker once from Wales. He said Sheperd's pie could have most anything inside, because it was traditionally made with leftovers. He didn't like eating leftovers, so he never ate Shepherd's pie.
As a child, whatever remained of Sunday's roast was minced and served up as cottage pie or shepherd's pie on the Monday. Sometimes it wasn't minced and would materialise as a stew with veg and pearl barley, but there was always a resurrection of sorts. If the roast had been large enough, it's leftovers might have followed us around until the Tuesday or even Wednesday.
I love your channel and thanks so much for sharing.👋💖🇦🇺
how long did u cook the mince?
Looks delicious, but if minced beef is substituted for lamb or mutton, then it's cottage pie.
Anyone have recipe for Scots Broth soup with barley ! My mom and sister made the best !
I don’t think they used Lamb as stock base ?
Wish I’d paid more attention !
😋
😊.👍 ♡
It's not a shepherds pie, it's a cottage pie because of the minced beef. You need to use minced lamb for a shepherds pie
"What's for tea?"
"Do you want toad in the hole?"
"I was only asking!"
mince and tatties, quick for working mom's, no need to put in oven, yummy
Made with beef it is cottage pie. With lamb it is shepherd’s pie.
