Matt Bulmer's' Mum's Sheperds pie

By

This is Andrew's favourite dish and as such it has to be published here. This is NOT Granny's recipe because Andrew has never liked Granny's shepherds pies but when he went to Matt's house to he discovered he liked Matt's mum's recipe. Granny, who was a bit miffed said, "I would not give that recipe house room. What does Matt Bulmer's mum know about cooking anyway?'
