Fuel My Friday: Perry's Shepherd's Pie

10 Mar 2023

There's just 6 days to go until the start of the Citi Para Swimming World Series, and Para Swimmer Will Perry brings us his no fuss Shepherd's Pie as the excitement builds for next week...

Will's versatility in the pool has seen him gain experience across the World stage, most notably a call-up to the Paralympic Games in Tokyo, where he competed in 4 events in the S6 category. That versatility certainly transfers to the kitchen as well, as Will's childhood recipe allows you to change or add any ingredients you'd like! Are you going to try it?
