So to start off with the first post, I decided to make a meal that screams of comfort food. Whilst it does take a bit of a while to get the meal done, once you take that first bite, heaven couldn’t seem closer if you were Adam trying to touch God’s finger in the “Creation of Adam” fresco created by Michaelangelo. The meal I speak of is Cottage Pie. There is much debate as to what exactly a cottage pie is and how it is different to a Shepherd’s pie...I don’t know. The dominant theory is that Sheperds pie uses lamb mince, whilst a cottage pie uses beef mince. I don’t know about you, but the term “Sheperds Pie” does not get my tastebuds going quite as well, so I prefer the term cottage pie. Besides, comparing the price of ground (mince) beef to ground lamb, a student would pick up the beef mince in a heartbeat without even so much as glancing at the lamb in the meat section. This cottage pie that I made is full of flavour, and just makes you want to cuddle up next to a fire and watch TCM movies all day either by yourself, or with a significant other. Here is the recipe:

Don't start the barbecue just yet! Try this mouthwatering stew that warms you up after every bite.

Tender chicken breasts pounded thin and rolled around a savory crab, water chestnut, and Dijon filling. Baked or microwaved in 40 minutes for an impressive low-calorie dinner.

A delicious dish. Made it for lunch yesterday, and we were surprised by how creamy and flavourful it came out.

Delicious! Considering a much lower fat creamy style pasta dish, this recipe definitely deserves 5 stars.

Make this creamy yet tasty shrimp curry for dinner, serve it with some steamed rice, top with yogurt, and/or some toasted cashew nuts, raisins, cilantros or scallions.
