"Cottage pie, like its opposite lamb number, Shepherd's pie, was the ingenious idea of housewives many years ago, in order to create another warm and comforting meal usually from the Sunday Lunch left-overs! Cooked beef or lamb were diced or shredded and sometimes the vegetables were added to the meat mixture - such as peas or carrots. This recipe..."

"This is really really good!

"This is my much quickened version of a pasty, put into pie form. For those who are unfamiliar with pasties, they are a pastry filled with meat, potatoes and onions, then folded into a half-circle. I live in an old mining town and these are still popular from the old days when the men would take them in their lunch boxes."

Ingredients: beef gravy, refrigerated pie crusts...

"A very simple and extremely tasty tart that I often make when leeks are in season. You can make your own pastry if you wish - I do when I have lots of time, but this works equally well with good quality ready-made flaky pastry, thus cutting down on time. Try to use small, thin leeks and try to get hold of little pink shallots - it just makes it so..."

"This is a hearty quiche that can easily pass for dinner when served with salad and rolls."

Ingredients: eggs, garlic, half-and-half...

"This dish is not only ridiculously easy to prepare but is also made from scratch, giving you an extra excuse to gloat. Although this recipe is time-consuming, the onions can be cooked ahead of time and then thrown in with the base at the last minute, if you're in a rush.

The original recipe is from Nigella Lawson's fantastic, "How..."

"Delicious pot pie when you want that comforting taste, but not all the hassle! My family thoroughly LOVES this recipe. I hope you do too!"

Ingredients: top sirloin steaks, broccoli cheese soup...

"I altered this recipe from the Greek restaurant that I work at and out of the many variations of spanakopita I've tried, fresh, authentic or frozen, this is easily the best. My dad dislikes spinach and he thinks this is just wonderful.
Also, you'll want to rinse the spinach after you take it out of the bag because it sometimes has sand..."

"I made Derfs Herbed Onion Potatoes recipe #32771 had left overs and came up with this pie! Just take note on my review. I added cooked crumbled bacon to my potatoes. I'm sure this will work without them! I'm actually eating it as I'm typing up this recipe.It's great for breakfast,snack, lunch, or a side to dinner. Easy to bring for a..."

"This is a delightful pudding, normally eaten at supper time, and it is suitable for vegetarians. It has its origins in Northallerton (North of England) and would have been made from wild herbs, gathered from the hedgerows and fields, and eaten with 'mushy' peas. I found this recipe in a small English regional cookery book - Yorkshire Recipes,..."

Ingredients: cream cheese, sliced almonds...

"This was adapted from a recipe I found on the net, but I added julienne onion to the peppers. This is a meal in itself, or you could have a small slice with a meat dish. For those that like to have brunch, it's a bit different to your traditional quiche recipes. If you love cheese, you could add 1/2 cup of your favorite to the egg mixture, then..."
