Cooking with Barbara
By BARBARA WALKER-HUFF
On my many trips to England to visit my friends in Yorkshire, they often served me Shepherd's Pie. Anne and Doreen live in a little village called Bellbusk. They used to run small store where you could buy fresh trout, caught by the villagers and eggs and milk. They also had a small Cafe.
Yorkshire is the most beautiful counties in all of England with the Moors, valleys and Dales.
