I whipped up this Aussie classic—vegetarian shepherd’s pie with veggies, pasta, and fluffy cauliflower mash—for my Czech family, and it turned out just beautifully. We kicked things off like any proper Czech meal, with a hearty bowl of soup, served in a deep dish, followed by the shepherd’s pie in a shallower bowl. It’s that cozy mix of Czech tradition and Australian comfort cooking, perfect for sharing with friends and family—whether they’re visiting from overseas or heading back home. It’s wholesome, healthy, and full of down‑under charm, yet still keeps that familiar, homey feel everyone loves.
