A Reci-pie

My friend James is a pretty mean cook, and when I say mean, I mean like he's good and stuff.

He's also vegetarian. He cooked this amazing Shepherd's pie the other day that was better than any meat version I've tried. I think it was possibly all about the cream in the mash, but let's agree it's his magic touch.

Anyway, the lovely one has shared his secret reci-pie with me. So here it is. You must, must try it. And the splodging is an important step, by the way.

I think it will become a winter staple in my humble kitchen.
