Steps:
- Heat half of the oil in a large frying pan or cast iron casserole dish.
- Brown the meat, which would take approximately 5 minutes, then remove from the pan. Place the meat in a sieve to remove excess fat.
- Using the same pan, add the remaining oil, then fry the onion, garlic, carrots, thyme and rosemary over a medium heat for 5-10 minutes or until the excess moisture has evaporated.
- Add the browned mince back into the pan along with the tomatoes and tomato puree. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add red wine and Worcestershire sauce and simmer until the liquid has been reduced by half.
- Pour in stock and bring it to a slow simmer. Continue to cook for 20-25 minutes. If the meat sauce doesn't seem thick enough, continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes.
- Stir in mushrooms and peas, then season to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 180˚C/fan 160˚C/356˚F/gas 4.
- Meanwhile, add the potatoes to a pan of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, which will take about 10-15 minutes. Drain then return to the pan and leave to steam dry.
- Pass the potatoes through a potato ricer then return the mash to the pan.
- Stir in the butter, cheese and egg yolk, then season to taste.
- Spoon the mince into a large ovenproof casserole dish and even out the layer.
- Top the mince with mash and level out with a fork. Run the fork along the mash to leave a ripple effect that will help the topping become crispy.
- Sprinkle over extra cheese, if you prefer, then place in the oven for 30 minutes.
- Serve immediately. It goes well with cauliflower cheese and braised red cabbage. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onions, carrot and celery. Cook for a few minutes, then crumble in the beef. Cook, stirring frequently until the beef has browned.
- Sprinkle the flour over top and cook, stirring for about a minute, then add the stock, tomato puree and Worcestershire sauce. Season with some salt and pepper to taste. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, for about 45 minutes over low heat. Stir occasionally.
- While the filling is cooking, prepare the potato topping. Put the potatoes into a saucepan of lightly salted water to cover. Bring to the boil. Cook at a quick simmer for about 20 minutes, or until fork tender. Drain well and return to the saucepan. Shake the pan over the residual heat of the burner for a few minutes to dry the potatoes out.
- Mash the potatoes with the butter and milk until soft and lump free. Stir in the cheese until it melts. Season to taste with some salt and pepper. (Remember cheese is quite salty.)
- Spoon the meat filling into a deep dish or into 6 smaller deepish dishes. Spread the cheesy potato mash over top to cover, roughing it up a bit.
- Bake in a 400*F/200*C/ gas mark 6 oven for 20 to 25 minutes for small pies, or 35 to 40 minutes for a larger pie. When done the meat filling will be bubbling and the potato topping will be golden brown.
- Serve hot with a vegetable or salad on the side.

LEEK AND MUSHROOM COTTAGE PIE
Traditionally, shepherd's pie is made with minced lamb and vegetables, and topped with mashed potatoes instead of pastry. If made with beef, it is called cottage pie. So it should follow that a vegetable version could be named gardener's pie. Filled with a saucy, savory leek and mushroom stew, it's a pie that will please vegetarians and carnivores alike.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to color, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add leeks, a little more salt and stir to combine. Cook mixture for about 5 minutes more, until leeks have lost their crunch, but are still green. Turn off heat.
- Cook the mushrooms separately (work in batches if necessary): Put olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is wavy, add both kinds of mushrooms and sauté 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat and stir in thyme, garlic and parsley, and toss to coat.
- Add mushrooms to onion-leek mixture, and turn heat to medium-high. Add miso and milk, and bring to a simmer. Stir cornstarch and water, add to mixture and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring, until sauce thickens. Transfer mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, and leave at room temperature.
- Meanwhile, boil potatoes in salted water until very soft, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes and mash with 4 tablespoons butter, then stir in cream and beat until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread mashed potatoes evenly over surface of vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and dot with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Bake for 45 minutes, until bubbling and nicely browned.
