One of the recipes I remember with most nostalgia is this cottage pie that my mom used to make. It takes me back to my college days, when I would return home at the end of the semester to find my mom anxiously awaiting me with this feast. Nowadays, I regularly prepare it in my kitchen and my husband has come to call it one of his favorite dishes. A recipe that’s easy to prepare and so rica; an ideal way to spoil our most loved ones.
