He goes back to basics to show you how to make a classic version, but easier. I think that the key with a traditional cottage pie is to build up layers of flavour: when Bruce Springsteen was recording Born To Run he asked Phil Spector how he achieved his 'Wall of Sound'. He was told it was just layer upon layer of music, and a good cottage pie is the same: you build layer upon layer of flavour into the gravy until it reaches an unctuous, gooey, meaty perfection. Traditional in Briton, a Cottage Pie referred to a beef layer topped with slices of potato (recreating the tiles of a cottage) and a shepherds pie referred to a lamb layer with mash on top. In recent times the difference has become slightly blurred, where cottage and shepherds just simply distinguishes whether the meat is beef or lamb, regardless of the type of potato on top.
