One of the boyfriend's new year's resolutions is to cook more and expand his recipe repertoire... so on the first Sunday in the new year (not including the very hungover first of the month of course) he cooked a classic cottage pie.
It was my turn to play sous chef and help prepare the vegetables and occasionally jump in to stop him adding the red wine at the wrong time, I think the fact he was drinking red wine at the same time may have put him off!
The recipe came from a Sainsburys cook book called Classic Recipe Collection - we got for £5 and is proving great for those recipes you grew up on and love but wasn't necessarily taught to cook, and as it is aimed at families the ingredients list are not huge or expensive. The only tweak we did on the recipe was to add cheese to the mash topping and served it with some very squeaky green beans.
Apart from having to put in lots of extra red wine as Mat added it too soon, it was a success!
A great recipe for anybody to add to their cooking repertoire.
