"Soak one-half of the meat, cut in small pieces, in the quart of water for one hour. Heat slowly to boiling point. Season the other half of the meat with salt and pepper. Roll in flour.

Add the vegetables, and flour mixed with half cup of cold water. Cook until vegetables are tender."
Shepherd's Pie
One of dad's all-time favorites. Traditionally a lamb dish, you can also use beef for this healthy, quick recipe. American cooking has always been inspired by the Old World, and now you can settle down with some of the most welcoming dishes of any era.
