Noor's Tips for Junior Chefs!

I like to use frozen veggies with only carrots, peas and corn, but you can use fresh veggies too - remember that carrots take more time to cook if you are using fresh veggies!
If using a cast iron, be careful of the handle - it gets hot too!
Adventurer Tip: Try other cheeses – we tried parmesan which was yummy too!
Secret Tip: In England, real shepherd's pie is made with lamb. When using beef, they call it 'cottage pie'. I wonder what they call it if you use turkey!
