Overall I'm gonna say the Cooks Illustrated recipe was good, but could use a little jazzing up.....more garlic, baby portabellas instead of white button mushrooms and a bit more salt would help. Oh, and maybe using that new thick Worcestershire instead of the regular kind would add some extra deep flavor.
I love the name of your blog! Do you think you might have room on occasion for a submission from Mama Arndt? After all, she's the one who got all of you started on the cooking kick!
ReplyDeleteOf course you can blog with us! I just set you up with admin rights on the site. I'll show you how to use it later this week.
Deleteokay,i can't figure out how to log in as admin on this site. i'm a lit student, not a computer surgeon, damnit! (and a good recipe to try for shepherd's pie is the one from nigella lawson. i don't follow it perfectly/exactly, but it's pretty damn tasty. but, obviously, make your potatoes the way you like them, etc.
