Episode 21: Shepherd's Pie, Irish Soda Bread, Cabbage Salad
In this episode, Chef Tim and Dietitian Kayla celebrate the flavors of Ireland with a cozy, nourishing meal rooted in tradition.
They begin with a hearty Shepherd’s Pie, featuring a savory filling of vegetables and ground meat topped with creamy mashed potatoes—baked until golden and bubbling. It’s comfort food at its finest.
To go alongside, they prepare a Traditional Irish Soda Bread. This rustic loaf is made with buttermilk and baking soda instead of yeast, giving it a dense, satisfying crumb and a lightly tangy flavor. It’s easy, humble, and deeply connected to Irish home cooking.
To balance the richness of the pie and bread, Kayla shares a crisp and refreshing Cabbage Salad, tossed with lemon juice, fresh herbs, and a touch of olive oil. It’s a bright, crunchy counterpoint that brings the whole plate together.
Whether you’re celebrating your heritage or just craving a comforting, wholesome meal—this trio delivers warmth, balance, and flavor in every bite.
