Deluisous Shepard's Pie

This is a recipe I picked up on Google. It's by this person called Chef floWer. At least that's what it said. It's really good and even Aaron liked it, and that's saying something!!! Here's the recipe.

200 g Ready Made frozen Pastry Dough, defrosted

Filling:
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 onion, chopped and ready to go
1 carrot sliced thin
1/4 teaspoon celery seed

1 teaspoon sage, chopped
1/4 crumbled leaf thyme
1 dash of marjoram

1/3 cup milk
20 grams butter
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
