John I would love to thank you for this , I have made this a few times and it’s a show stopper, having been a chef for over 35 years it’s good to still be able to learn from talented people,

How in the world do you only have 158k subscribers? In my opinion, you beat most of the food channels with millions of subscribers. Keep up the good content, man that cottage pie looks delicious.

He is an annoying twat, working far too hard on his media personality. His cooking ain't all that either.

I'll really buy an oven only because of this recipe. Never tried traditional British food, but this simple thing just tickled me in places I didn't even know about.

I've been using this recipe for years. Keep coming back to this hidden gem

"Too much butter in the mash wouldn't work" then puts in about a pound of butter

It's funny how when you started you had to go round and convince people to eat your food now you have people lined up😂😂 good stuff👌👌

Jaysus, even without the potato it looks mega as a stew! Over chips with cheese sprinkled on top

So the secret ingredient is the same thing that makes everything taste amazing: MSG. The most underrated and misunderstood spice in history.

Not gonna find mushroom catsup here in the south. I used a can of Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup instead. One of my dinner guests, who works in the restaurant biz, said "You could sell this".

I don't know that I've ever learned quite so much from a recipe video. Adding this to my meal list and making a mental note of all the tips and tricks!

Thanks John. I followed this to the letter EXCEPT that I would never use grapeseed oil. I used grass-fed suet to keep the tradition of grass-fed beef. No need to spoil it with nasty seed oils. This was a mind-blowing cottage pie.

I'm American I'm sorry I didnt know what a cottage pie is but i gave a like after watching it. I want one

You’re an artist. Looking at the work that went into it and all the ingredients, I was thinking £10.00. It does look like the best cottage pie I’ve ever seen.

I’ve made this twice (extras in freezer) and it was a major hit!

@pamelagadsden5272

No more extras after 3 weeks ( you make the potatoes with each meal) sent everyone to your channel. Still making this.

I've got to get some of this RDC beef. BTW, your pie looks great, and I'm not going to dare to criticise - I never thought of using Nori, but sure, that should absolutely work. I want to eat this pie/ All of it. My favourite little flavour bomb in dishes like this is to chop up and add a pickled walnut or two - they have a similar flavour profile to Worcestershire, but with an extra zing of aromatic, resinous spiciness

Love that chanel for honest and humble recepies. Chef shares his tips and advises and makes it so easy to understand for us. All dishes are super cool and really good for man cooking. Just love it!

Amazing stuff, also goes well with a stout. Pie loves stout, and so do I.

Best video so far ;) unfortunately Ben dont have this mince in stock :( or i have to buy piece of meat and do mince myself? )) Thanks Chef, this recipe changed my life xD

Looks delicious mate! I add Marmite to my beef mince, really adds an amazing umami flavour (even if you HATE Marmite, you don't taste it but boy does it make a difference).

The try hardness is completely gone , your new place is definitely letting your sincerity and love for food shine through , great content !

Top nosh FB! Enjoyed watching your technique, learnt lots and will no doubt create my own version based on yours. Keep cooking.

If you only want the dried mushroom for stock a great shortcut is to not wet the mushrooms but to pulverise the mushrooms. It is a workflow game changer and it is super easy to work with different types of dried mushrooms.

Made this before for a handful of guests from all over the world. They were like a pack of wolves devouring bambi. Big hit. So that's what's requested for today's Thanksgiving. Love Busker

I've just done this omg delicious and easy to do. I got the beef from my butchers so probably not as good as the beef you used. Many thanks for this unreal dish

I just found your channel recently and was so intrigued by your Cottage pie recipe that i made it a few days ago. Cottage and Shepherds pie are two of my favorite comfort foods!! I am always on the lookout for different ways of doing them. i pretty much followed your recipe but i could not find mushroom ketchup anywhere, (Portland, Oregon), so i threw in more dried porcini. it was Incredible!! Even better the next day. I think i finally found THE one that will be my go to recipe. For the next time i make it I ordered a bottle of mushroom ketchup and it arrived today from Great Britain. Thanks so much for your great channel. i watch a lot of cooking shows on tv and youtube and right now, yours is my fave!! Terence

Cmon, mate that looks bloody brilliant! I will be smashing this out on the weekend, I can’t wait. 10 Pounds for that bad boy.

You're making me hungry!! I should stop watching your videos at 2am in the mornings! Now I got the case of the munchies.

Hi John, I was looking for a Short Crust Pastry to bake a Chicken Pie for the family. Then I came across your Yourtube video, ie your Chicken & Mushroom Pie using Puff Pastry & you blew me away. Thank you so much for teaching. It was such a Joy watching this too. May you blew more people. God bless.

This is brilliant, I'll try this. Can you do, if you ain't already, a sweet and sour chicken recipe, my Mrs favorite from our local takeaway. I wanna make one but better than the takeaway

Just made this last night for a bunch of my family. Unfortunately didn't have mushroom ketchup so the Tsunami was more of a smaller tidal wave. I also strained all the liquid into a bowl then made a gravy by thickening it with a bit of cornstarch and coated the meat. My family said it was incredible. I'm so excited for lunch to eat the leftovers!

Brilliant thanks, made your beer battered fish and chips and the family loved it. Just watched this one and can’t wait to try it.

I am speechless about the seaweed, I will need to try for myself. Can you for once say with an Italian accent: "Why am I cooking so good?" 10 pounds at least for this anywhere, anytime, with a bit of salad on the side 15 pounds easily! Thanks a million for great new ideas, seaweed, who would have thought of that?B.

Oh Boyyyyyy! Don't know why I watched this video late at night! Now I can't go to sleep I'm salivating over this meat bomb so much! Loved it mate

I am still to cook your recipe. But you are simply fun to watch. Such an entertainer and your recipes look great. Thank you and keep em coming.

I would pay 10! Also, now that you have a kitchen, you could get that love of slow stews of yours and direct it towards a Brazilian feijoada. It is out of this world.

Thanks for the recipe-- Just made this. Umami levels were off the charts, delicious. Edit : Plates licked clean. No shame, can't waste this flavor.

Wow! That looks gorgeously delicious!

Cold cottage pie butties the next day with a bit of tomato sauce are EPIC.

Love it...!!!

Defo giving this a try. The way those potatoes look on top is all the reason I need!

soooo good!

This looks so good and this dimples really do elevate it. Never would have thought to add those but it does make a differance... I'd do 8 pounds for one portion! Cheers!

Sent here from Alex's channel, this one earned my sub! I want to try a few of your dishes, but this one will be my first for sure!

I just paid 24 cdn... about 14 quid for a cottage pie, a good one is epic and had no problem... Also a couple pints with that will make the cold winter tolerable

I made this in San Diego for my British friends. Big hit!!! Best thing I've made in years if not ever.

Ohhhhh yaaaa frickin amazing my guests raved about my cottage pie thanks it was an absolute hit yummmmmmmm

Good job Uncle Busky

My favourite KZread chef by a mile

Omg! So good!!! 🤤🤤

That looked like one of your best ever !

For those in America, his tomato puree is our tomato paste. This looks amazing. Cottage pie is actually on my menu for this week. I'm so excited!

I had a cottage pie with pie crust and it did have potatoes and steak and carrots and onions inside it but it wasn't topped with potato and it was delicious. It was in California at Casa De fruta at the renaissance faire. We had two of those pies and I can't wait to have them again.

Mind=Blown! Chef, you're killin' it out there, mate!

Lovely jubbly. Nice idea with the dimpling on the mash. I like to add anchovy fillets. Paste is too salty. A good brand of organic tomato ketchup too. Thanks for the vid.

90 seconds in and subscribed! Enough said. Thank you . Food Busker!

That looks so good my word

Made this today - was great! The sheets smell fishy however at the end it's a 10/10 Cheers pal!

I'm gonna make this with fish sauce instead of nori, (seaweed) and I'll grind up the dried mushrooms to a powder which will act as a bit of a thickener while still lending the umami profile. Can't wait to make this.

This was delicious thanks. My son's favorite now. I made it with imitation meat and it was still good.

Add 25% sweet potato to the mash for even more flavour and more golden crispy bits in the final bake . I cooked and ate this tonight without the seaweed ( don't know where to buy it ) and it's great , better than the last time I cooked it when it lacked a couple of ingredients but still was a hit with those who ate it . Winner .

love the bottle flip

Look at that. So good. Would like to taste from it

That flavour-bomb sound at 1:05 completely freaked out my cat💥🙀😬

I find adding horseradish into the mash is a very nice addition. (Only in cottage pie)

Thanks, was just looking into you're channel through Alex French Guy. Liked it up to know: You wanna tell me that a 10 years old cow tastes good? Tell me something new, when I grew up we had galloways and the best one by far happend to be 12 years old… And now I haven't found a single source for such a good meat in years. And now I love you're channel ;-).

like the fact that the pots and pans you use look used opposed to other vids where they are all brand new. like the fact you use yours:)

I made this and the family loved it.

that looks incredible. bomb recipe.

I think some mashed anchovies would be nice too,im going to look for that mushroom sauce.Looks delicious

Here's some tips for people that don't want to cook with alcohol: A good substitute is 1 parts chicken stock and 1 parts red wine vinegar (not alcoholic) or balsamic vinegar. When cooking with alcohol we are often told it all evaporates, but it depends on time and heat. Here are some general numbers. Do remember that when adding wine to a dish like this it will also be diluted by all the other ingredients in the dish, further reducing the amount of alcohol in each portion. 15 minutes will reduce by 60%. 30 minutes will reduce by 65%. 1 hour will reduce by 75%. 2 hours by 90%. 2.5 hours by 95%.

Reduction in volume is not the same as evaporation of the ethanol. The ethanol will evaporate much faster than those numbers.
