Low carb recipe. HI to all home cooking chefs here on the East coast of Africa and around this beautiful world we live in.Welcome to our kitchen here at Home Cooking Haven

We have had quite a few requests for low carb recipe, so we have decided to show you how to make a classic Sweet potato cottage pie.

I lot of people have asked me what is the difference between Shepard's pie and cottage ie. I did a little research and was happy I did as one learns new things every day.

The difference between and Shepherd's pie and Cottage pie is the meat one uses. Shepherd's should only be named as such if it contains lamb, and Cottage usually applies to one made with beef. Learnt some thing hey I certainly have.
