This recipe is a playful twist on traditional shepherd’s pie, swapping in sweet potatoes for the mashed potatoes and a Moroccan-inspired filling for the usual carrots and peas. With warming spices such as cumin and smoked paprika, along with ground lamb, chickpeas, and dates, the filling is both savory and a little sweet, and the perfect partner for the mashed sweet potato topping. Because sweet potatoes contain more water than Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, the topping will be softer here than in a traditional shepherd’s pie. It will firm up as it cools, but make sure to cook any excess moisture from the potatoes before mashing to ensure the mash is thick. If you have access to them, white or Japanese sweet potatoes tend to be drier and starchier than conventional “yams” and work particularly well here.

 Watch out, oatmeal raisin — there’s a new favorite oatmeal cookie in town. The texture of these oatmeal-date cookies was inspired by the “Smash Cookies” in Zoë Francois’s cookbook, Zoë Bakes Cookies. To achieve large cookies with crisp outsides and cookie-doughy centers, Zoë bakes the dough in big balls at a relatively high temperature, then presses them down with a flat spatula (smashes them) when they come out of the oven. Packed with hearty oats and pocketed with dates, this version makes slightly smaller cookies that rely on a similar smashing technique for golden-brown exteriors and soft, bendy centers.
