Shepherd’s Pie

I would say this version of the traditional English recipe lives up to the original. The bacon gives a lot of flavour and the (soy) cream creates smooth potato mash. I like the texture of carrots and celery, but if you prefer them very soft then cook them before adding to the sauce.
