Some of my favorite dishes for the colder months are the traditional ones, like Shepherds Pie. This is a dish now often made with minced beef, but traditionally made with leftover roast lamb which has been put through the mincer or your blender on “chop”. Also using leftover gravy, carrots and mashed potatoes (winter vegetables). The Shepherds Pie Recipe website has the original way with tips on modernising it! As well an excellent resource of other dishes from various cultures, based on the personal experiences of a world traveler and his wife, the latter of Italian family background so, of course another rich source of recipes!
