Great seeing you back doing what you do best Keith, so glad you're on the mend. This is a real winner!

[@mycross1]

Shepherd's pie is my most favourite meal on the planet I could eat it everyday 😁 and it's great to see you back 😁

[@itskeithnNat]

[@66squeaky]

Hello you 2 lovelies. Good to see you getting back into the flow. I love shepherd's pie.

[@itskeithnNat]

Thank you squeaky

[@alainadacosta1222]

I'm glad you're feeling better! I love shepherd's pie too, I make it with lentils instead of meat. Also, Nat's little wave was adorable. After this series, maybe you could make a series about meals you have fond memories of (like what y'all ate on your first date, favorite childhood meal etc)? I'd love to hear the story behind them

[@itskeithnNat]

Good idea Thanks

[@cindyhoward6707]

Delicious! Best looking that I’ve seen! Rustic. ❤

[@grahamlee2536]

Nice to have you back OFG....the shephards pie, well its really cottage pie when made with beef looks great. Its about how I remember it, our school used it as left over cottage pie and threw in everything from left over roast beef & veg to sausages. My favourite was always the crispy bits. Yum...

[@itskeithnNat]

Thanks Mate. The crispy bits are the best

[@lornaburgess9762]

Keith this took me back to when I was a kid we lived just down the street from both the infant and junior schools 1 at each end of the street. I used to beg my mam to let me stay for school dinners at our junior school coz the smell of the dinners was lush. She gave in EVENTUALLY 🤣🤣😋

[@itskeithnNat]

LOL lorna

[@davidjones6470]

Well you just can't beat a shepherd's pie can you!!! looks bloody banging!! Nice one Keith 🤘

[@itskeithnNat]

Cheers mate

[@SuperLittleTyke]

Very tasty looking pie. I shall use a bit of salt and pepper, though. And maybe some milk in the mashed potato.

[@itskeithnNat]

Yes Super

[@JPodMx]

You and Chris are the most down to earth foodie's on youtube.

[@itskeithnNat]

Thank you mate

[@lucygale336]

Thanks loved watching how others cook stuff 😊

[@itskeithnNat]

You are welcome lucy

[@brendarigdonsbrensden.8350]

I remember school dinners being tasty because they had mothers in the school kitchens but the government said stop cooking like your mum does as there is too much salt and pepper added 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ We we’re doomed after that. Thankfully I was out of school by then and I dread to think who wrote that book and what is to follow 🤷‍♀️ Nice shout out for Chris 👍🏼❤️

[@itskeithnNat]

Thanks Brenda

[@staceyguy891]

Great upload as always . Glad your back

[@itskeithnNat]

Thanks Stacey

[@happyfoody1864]

When I do some more recipes from the book, I am just gunna add salt & pepper even if it doesn't say to. It's just like the NHS recipes, can't enjoy them without proper seasoning. You did a great job of it Keith. Looked yummy 😋 👍

[@itskeithnNat]

Yes Happy, these recipes need more seasoning

[@iansims2984]

An all time classic. Brilliant vlog and great to see you back especially in your new #teamctb t-shirt as chris & lou are brilliant just like you and Nat 👍

[@itskeithnNat]

Thanks mate

[@bigyen6358]

Looks gorgeous Keith well done 👏 👍😋Xxx 💕

[@itskeithnNat]

Thanks so much Karen

[@donnaregan9189]

So so glad you are back and feeling better,even more glad that your burn has healed.Must admit when you did it I screamed simply because I did the exact same thing but stupidly I was moving a chip pan full of burning oil.I used a tea towel and just as yours did it caught on the cooker part.My son came running in as I screamed and with a look of horror on my face I said old food guy has just burnt himself the same way that I did.God I was so worried for you as nothing hurts like a deep burn I subsequently kept my eye on your arm so so happy that unlike me you did not need a skin graft,you must take care we all think such a lot of you and Natt x

[@itskeithnNat]

Thanks Donna

[@imabeliever7486]

Great Shepherds pie, Nats allowed to just wave, she is the queen. 👸👑💐

[@itskeithnNat]

She is Ima

[@themadcoachman]

Don't care about following what the recipe says you need to put a pinch of salt in the spuds to bring the flavour out , LOVE your shirt

[@itskeithnNat]

You do need salt mate

[@mattfrancis4569]

going to use quorn meat-free mince version to make this thanks mate, hope u continue the school dinner ones, my fav. love from cornwall as always.

[@itskeithnNat]

Cheers mate

[@janw1746]

[@itskeithnNat]

Thanks Nick

[@lfcmonkeyyyman6229]

Welcome back to the cooking Keith.. lovely to see you and the delicious Nat back cooking. Just an idea, when you are doing the school dinners, you could make 2 dishes.. do like youbdid today, school dinner recipe for Shepherds pie, but also do YOUR version, which today would have included salt, cheesey mash, butter in the mash, maybe a thicker gravy. Dont know how you usually make it, but Onfor one would cool the meat and stock for at least 45 mins, adding carrots, onions, peas and sweetcorn. Let the mix cool down, add the tatties, cook until golden brown, then serve with extra gravy! I don't remember school Shepherds pie having huge chunks of carrots either, like yours did!! Anyway, glad you're feeling better again, as we have missed you both!!

[@itskeithnNat]

Cheers mate. I was thinking of doing that and comparing

[@debbiehaha1300]

Got to admit I didn’t stay for school dinners as I only liked the puddings, so I used to go home for lunch, which was great for me as my mum did what I liked. My sisters all stayed for school dinners. Wasn’t till I went to high school that I stayed for dinners as you had a lot more choice. Get a some seasoning on the shepards pie and it will be great for tea for all the family.😀😀

[@itskeithnNat]

Agree Deb more seasoning

[@dagenhamdave2611]

good to see you back mate think i would of put s&p in it stick with chris you wont go wrong hes a top fella

[@itskeithnNat]

Cheers mate

[@thatdavidvlog]

[@itskeithnNat]

Thanks Donetta

[@sandraheaton4929]

When I do mash Keith I melt the butter in the microwave & also warm the milk I add to mash potatoes before I mash them they are lovely & creamy 😋 just a little tip keith

[@itskeithnNat]

Great tip Sandra Thanks

[@OneBeardedBadger]

Woah woah woah you used proper mits to pick the pan up lol no more burns

[@itskeithnNat]

LOL mate

[@adrianwood4661]

Hi hope you and Nat are well and having a good time enjoy your weekend

[@itskeithnNat]

Yes thanks Adrian

[@asseyez-vous6492]

I know you’re following the recipes for school dinners to a T. I’d like to share what I do when I make potatoes. Before mashing (and after draining), I sprinkle semolina in the potatoes, then add butter and mash. Semolina gives the spuds some oomph, like a little kick. Same with the roasties; after draining and before jiggling them in the pan, sprinkle some semolina in - then jiggle them. I don’t use use oil at that stage, that’s just in the roasting pan. The semolina gives a nice little hit and gives a little extra crispness. If you’re interested, semolina comes in a box packet (not the tin 😆) and is normally found in the baking isle around the pudding rice, ground almonds, etc.. Great trip down memory lane, get well and rest when necessary 🤗

[@itskeithnNat]

Thanks for that tip I will try it

[@philbrntt]

glad your feeling better,think a side of gravy would of gone well with that

[@itskeithnNat]

Thanks Phil

[@dianatambling1907]

I think you are right.... add a bit of gravy to the meat mix. Xxxx

[@jimmysnailshoes]

Shepherd's pie now your talking, we always have worcestershire sauce in it like you did, but we normally put more in and even a bit of Cholula sauce, but I know you have to keep to the ingredients as per the school dinner vibe 👍

[@itskeithnNat]

Yes mate Worcestershire is a must

[@allan4054]

Pleased your feeling better pal. Shepherd's pie looked bloody lovely 👍. Hope Nat's doing well and sorry to hear about the abuse she had received on her channel. The little coward's.

[@itskeithnNat]

Thank you mate

[@philipareed]

Thank God you now have oven gloves instead of that towel catching and causing your burns from boiling water 👍👍

[@itskeithnNat]

Yes mate

[@Shelly.1962]

yummy :)

[@itskeithnNat]

Thanks Michele

[@martinedingivan]

That looks absolutely yummy thanks for sharing BTW have u a po box I would like to send u something in post if I can I'm glad your better sending love to Nat also your both amazing don't let anyone else say different love always guys🥰

[@itskeithnNat]

Not yet magic but will let you know when

[@martinedingivan]

@@itskeithnNat ok thank you😁

[@missmaryhdream6560]

Hello Keith don't we have to put salt and pepper in, ahh Nat tell the trolls get knotted

[@itskeithnNat]

I know Mary some of these recipes are so bland

[@Val-from-Leigh]

That Shepherd's pie looked lovely, Keith! I was surprised you said it was bland with two tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce. I put less stock in mine, the whole tin of toms and a can of Branston beans, sometimes a few peas, too. Do you ever make lasagne?

[@itskeithnNat]

Can't eat Lasagne Val. It makes me ill

[@Val-from-Leigh]

@@itskeithnNat That's a shame.

[@santhompson6738]

Hi Nat 🥰 xx

[@itskeithnNat]

Nat said hi San

[@richardpalmer4936]

I think you should add seasoning or adapt the recipes to make them better

[@itskeithnNat]

I was thinking of that mate

[@MrAshprice]

Hi Keith 👍

[@itskeithnNat]

Hi Ashley

[@dortz2024]

If these vids get less views than usual I would suggest making the thumbnail an image of the finished product, and making the title the dish name first, and the school dinners bit second. Only if though. Not sure how your metrics are looking but just thinking what appeals to me personally. But obviously some other styles appeal to other viewers, so as Johnny Rotten would say "I could be wrong I could be right". Pleased to see you folks are doing Ok!

[@itskeithnNat]

Cheers Dortz. I was thinking of that, but my metrics say this Thumbnail is better. Don't know why

[@anneperry9014]

You should brown the meat for ten mins at least. It tastes so much better, just a tip.... 😊

[@itskeithnNat]

Thanks for the tip Anne

[@kevinhoughton9134]

I'd eat that all day long, all it needs is some thick gravy.

[@itskeithnNat]

Must be thick gravy mate

[@majiek1304]

Shows how much salt we have in todays diet compared to the 80s and 90s kids

[@itskeithnNat]

Yes mate

[@philipatkinson7039]

Very similar to how my late grandmother made it keith. Fuckin love ❤ it mi owd cocker 👌👍👌👍

[@itskeithnNat]

Sorry can't remember
