As with any recipe that looks yummy to me, I tweaked this to make it healthier but still tasty! Any one that's half a cook would know how. Too bad there are some lousy cooks that didn't so gave this a bad rating!:(

I can not believe how rude people think its ok to be when it's on the Internet and not to someone's face. If you don't want to make it, then don't. Why comment at all?

It was very good. I put my own little twist in the meat, just my own spices that I like and it was very good.

I just read this recipe and realized that I have ground lamb in the freezer (from a local organic producer) and can't wait to try this! I may use lighter versions of some ingredients and fresh veggies instead of frozen, but his sounds delish! And again, it is the main meal, not a side dish.

I believe that what some of the naysayers commenting haven't realized is that this dish is served as a main course served with a side Ie a salad. It is not a side in itself.

" A heart attack waiting to happen". So is life; get over it and get on with it. For those that want someone to lighten it up, don't be so lazy and do that yourselves. Do you think the government should do it for you or do I smell a lawsuit coming?

Excellent as it stands but I will use ground lamb next time as suggested by another reviewer. (not arguing the difference between shepherd's and cottage pie - I just like the flavour of lamb better)

I couldn't agree more with Chef_Dad! Too many people willing to make negative comments! TOH doesn't have to cater only to low fat eaters, or diabetics, or carb counters (etc.) Make adjustments to the recipe as you see fit and stop complaining! By the way, I think the recipe sounds delicious - and dianeivie: until you can spell "potato" correctly you have bigger worries than a calorie count.

Would you people give it up already with the comments about the nutrition of the recipe. If you think it's not healthy then DON'T MAKE IT! Stop "reviewing" a recipe you're never going to try.
