I actually laugh out loud and throw my head back. I live his humor and the simplicity in which he teaches. Thank you chef John. You are much loved and appreciated 🇺🇸👍🏼
I save up a whole bunch of chef John videos when they come out and make a comedy evening out of it! So funny AND informative at the same time! Love it so much
I made the corned beef & cabbage cottage pie (not really a shepherd's pie) and it was amazing. The leftovers are even amazinger! Today I took the leftover corned beef broth to make the best vegetable soup I've ever made in my life--started with your standard onion/carrot/celery, then the one zucchini I had in the fridge. Then the broth, then small red potatoes, then canned tomatoes and an 8-oz. can of V-8, and after simmering for a good long time, half a head of standard cabbage to cook for about half an hour. The result is orgasmic! I have to do both again, many times during the year. Who cares about St. Patrick's Day? I'll have it for Halloween! I'll have it for Epiphany! I'll have it for any dang day I choose!
My mom's family makes Irish and Scottish cheeses and bear. My mom use to get large packages of our family cheeses and bear every two months. We had a refrigerator outside for the cheese and meats. I remember it was very organized and my mom labeled the packages for occasions. We loved having block parties and cooked on the fire pit to feed the neighborhood. I would bring food to everyone's house. I love giving to people so I always was the one who delivered the food.
Love this video! Chef John and Chef Jean-Pierre have gotten me through the pandemic with humor and flair! I am going to make the shepherd's pie/corn beef combo and soda bread for my co-workers next Saturday as a post Paddy's Day celebration! I am 67, no family at home to cook for, so I take this stuff to work. I must be doing a half-way decent job...as soon as word gets out the doctor's in the ER (and a lot of other departments) find a reason to come up to our unit). I work the night shift so fresh food is a real treat.
Thanks to this video, I'm gonna be making the Beef and Guinness Stew plus the soda bread (savory version) for St. Patrick's Day. Can't think of much better than that combination.
Cutting the Cross on your Irish Soda Breads also keeps the Faeries from invading your bread & escaping into your kitchen when you slice your bread lol. A little touch of Irish Lore lol.
I've followed Chef John for years and have watched an amazing number of videos but I enjoy these compilation videos and somehow I've never seen the corned beef shepherd's pie before! It sounds DELICIOUS!
The best part about St Paddy’s day dinner is the corned beef hash with a fried egg the next day! I cover the corned beef with ginger ale. It makes amazing broth!
You always crack me up with your humorous sayings like with the Guinness beef stew: it will “smell like a wet leprechaun!” Too funny. Thanks for sharing your recipes and making me smile and laugh out loud.
My young son watched this video and accompanied me to buy the ingredients. He was very curious to smell "wet leprechaun" and asked me, "how does Chef John know what wet leprechaun smells like?" 🤣
What a great idea! I love beef Shepards Pie, and this is also another good recipe to try, which I'm going to make! Yum yum yummy, for my tum tum tummy! Thank you!
I always add raw eggs into my freshly boiled potatoes, then butter, then milk, then salt, mashing as I do..Eggs really give them a delicious yellow color and body. 1 egg to about every 1.5 lb of peeled potatoes.
My husband has made homemade corned beef from our grass fed beef a couple times. He has been baking bread, too. Here are some tasty looking recipes I'd like for him to try. I'm also going to search for Irish crockpot recipes for using in summer rather than heating oven and kitchen. First time I've watched one of your videos. Enjoyed it right to end.
I just love your wonderful videos! You have such a funny and approachable nature that comes through so delightfully. Thank you for making these scrumptious recipes available to all of us, Chef John! Much respect and well wishes to you and your family!
This was gonna be a list of 10 recipes and a full hour, but chef John, holding true to Irish tradition, got drunk and passed out before he was finished
OK...St Patrick's dinner menu has just changed! I have all the ingredients and we doing this! I love a boiled dinner and do one a couple times a year but man o man that looks amazing! Thank you Chef John Mike 🇨🇦 🍁 👍
I use chef John's twice baked potatoes recipe but fill it with the filling from the shepherds pie to make, twice baked shepherds pie potatoes. It's amazing and a full meal in one dish.
Well done...that Soda bread looks fabulous. My Nana would have approved. Although she would have clarified that the X on the Soda bread is really a cross! Ireland thanks America and Sir Walter Raleigh for the humble spud. And yes, we use the odd shake of Cayenne these days. Happy Saint Patrick's Day Chef John and friends.
I'm going to make the corned beef and cabbage shepard's pie! It sounds and looks delish! Soda bread for sure using a recipe that's over 70 years old! And some knishes! YUM!!
Love your channel. Maybe I can help YOU with one thing. Get a stick blender. I think mine was $25. So worth it, and no more transferring hot liquid or worrying about blender splashes!
I’m definitely going to make your corn beef shepherds pie recipe this year for Sainthood Patrick Day supper this year. I will be making all of today’s recipes this month. I love honey idea in the Irish soda bread! I am fortunate to have a friend that I get fresh honey from. Although honey never goes bad as long as you don’t contaminate it!
The irish eyes are smiling at this feast fit for a king leprechaun of the emerald isle. I think the corned beef and cabbage shepherd's pie is the most amazing irish food I have ever seen. I am so tempted to have it this Saint Paddy Day. If I get enough corned beef and cabbage, I can make that and the snack that is an irish version of a mini calzone. I can have that and make an irish tea cake and all will be well with the world. Then have a pint of Guiness to top of the evening to ya.
@ I believe you. From what I understand Americans celebrate Saint Patrick's Day, not the Irish. Corned beef is probably created for that holiday by a group of people that sell it. If I were in Ireland, I would likely eat Irish stew or fish and chips. I am not sure why the Irish pubs here make corned beef and cabbage, probably to appease the customers.

@@jmallett6081 Bacon and cabbage is the traditional Irish fodder but in America the fatty salted bacon was unavailable and was replaced with corned beef. Paddy's day is big here now too but the parade thing was started in the US originally either in Boston or New York.
My favorite knishes are liver knishes! My dad was Irish and grew up in South Philly in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood. Oh! The stories were hysterical! One was how one Jewish mother had a bowl of some kind of food running after her son yelling get back here and eat! I'll kill ya, get back here!" The boy wasnt hungry and wanted to continue playing, finally she got him cornered by the row how house stoop and had her knee bracing him in the corner saying "eat this, I'll kill ya!" and I would LMHO at the way my dad would tell it, accent and all. He knew alot of Yiddish words and understood some of what the moms would say, like sit down, come here, did you hear what I said?...he ate in his friends row homes and would recall how kindly he was treated and how delicious the food was! One thing he loved were the liver knishes! As a kid my parents used to travel a half hour to a nearby town to a Jewish deli where the most AMAZING liver knishes were sold. They would buy a bunch, and were sold in wax coated bags. The pastry was almost thin leather like, and cold or warm these knishes were sooooo delicious! I grew up with a full Italian mom who was a mind boggling cook and I ate just about everything she made including the best calves liver and onions. Melt in your mouth! So I already loved liver. I have 4 older brothers, I'm the baby and trying to make sure everyone got a knish and didn't eat them up before anyone got theirs meant my mom being the food police. I could've eaten 2 of those pastries myself and they weren't little! Now its near impossible to find an authentic Jewish deli where I live in Western Pa. near Pittsburgh, However in N.J. where I'm from, my daughter found one and brought me 2 large liver knishes. They were good but nowhere near what I had as a kid. That taste is lost forever. I dont care for potato knishes. But if you know how to make authentic liver filling perhaps you could post it if you ever ate them in your youth. I'm afraid that talent may be hard to replicate. . Thank you and sorry for the long post!
These all look really great and yes they are traditional recipes but I've not seen your recipes for them before and yours are great thank you very much, that Cole Cannon also looked wonderful
Corned beef has has absolutely nothing to do with Ireland. It was a Jewish creation in America, 3000 miles away from Ireland. Shepherd's pie has lamb, cottage pie has beef. These are standard, misleading, and totally false stereotypes of Ireland
Moved from Staten Island, N Y. to CA in my early teens. I remember growing up having potato Knishes (no filling) at the ferry terminal along with Italian ices. I'd love to try your recipe. Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos.
Prayer about St. Patrick God our Father, you sent Saint Patrick to preach your glory to the people of Ireland. By the help of his prayers, may all Christians proclaim your love to all men. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Vegan, gluten free, and organic, as always. I'm making soda bread, Irish onion soup, a cuke dill vinegar salad, my deluxe gourmet colcannon, and, like you, I make a hybrid shepherd's pie. Hybrid bc it has a pie shell base so it's kinda shepherd's pie, kinda pot pie Then for dessert, shortbread and tea. Love your show, Chef John. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He make His face to shine upon you and give you peace. Erin Go Bragh.
Very first Food Wishes video I watched, and recipe I made was the Guinness stew on St. Patrick’s day many years ago. I have since learned not to wait until March 17th to get Guinness Stout! Thank you for sharing these delicious recipes!
@@glendacahill3607 Surely that's not true; no real Irish person would ever, EVER mistake a cottage pie for a shepherd's pie! Just ask the whackdoodles who can't let it goooo...🙂
Colcannon isn't traditionally made with spring onions (Scallions) or leeks. Its normally just potatoes and Curly kale (or foraged early spring Stinging Nettles only the new growth from the top of the plant) In Dublin this would be typically served at Halloween time, the Stinging Nettle version usually spring or Paddy's Day and of course always topped off with a fried egg. Happy Saint Patrick's Day Chef John and everyone 💚☘️☘️☘️
@@angelaratzay9034 Must be a regional thing with the nettles Angela, But yes definitely never leeks 😁 I suppose if you went house to house in Ireland you'd get a different recipe Colcannon or Irish Stew, Which in my family was always Beef, carrots, turnips, onions, celery, potatoes (In last later in the cooking), thyme, parsley, oxo's stock cubes. Some do Lamb , our family doesn't like the taste of lamb.
We have two pieces of corned beef, and with the corned beef cottage pie you convinced me to make one of them in the instant pot so that I can use that broth for my mashed potatoes to be served alongside the corned beef that we will be using for dinner.
Yay!!!☘️🍀 I made colcannon one year on St Patrick's day I n an effort to pull myself out of the blues and into the holiday mindset,(as I am after all almost half Irish), but was out of cream, so I used potatoes, kale, soy sauce, green onion, ginger (😲)) garlic,and mushrooms, and butter, and it was excellent. Thanks for sharing These. Love your channel!✌️
Growing up in Belfast I never had corned beef. I am 70 now I taste corned beef for first time when came to the USA at 35. In Ireland we had a Bacon joint with cabbage.
Just in time… Not just the lyrics to a Frank Sinatra song… I digress, but looking forward to this timely recipe, after all I’m curious to find out what clever rhyme you’ve got for us this time. Lol. Kind of like when I grew up on Rockford files waiting each week to hear what the answering machine would say this time. Have a great Sunday :-)
They call it "pot liquor" for a reason. On occasion, I have jarred/canned the pot liquor to later cook an all veg meal because once cooked in the liquid, you don't miss the actual meat.
