RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I used the BBC Good Foods recipe for a cottage pie, however I thinly sliced the onions so they cook slower and sweat differently with the carrots and celery.
People also told me the red wine doesn't matter, however I chose some rather fruity and full bodied wines with the sauce/gravy - I think this really made a difference and the flavours really pop. I tried weaker red wines and they just don't bring out the flavour in the same way.
