Traditional Shepherds Pie Recipe
This brings shepherd's pie back to a more authentic recipe, while pairing the lamb with flavor enhancing tarragon (a cousin of mint).

This sounds really great. I have a Shepard's pie recipe too, it's amazing how many different versions there are. I'm interested in finding out the background history of a Shepard's pie. I'm thinking it might have to do with Shepard's :) maybe not.
