It was great to wake up and discover that Sage Lilleyman had given my hefty old blog a lovely shout out to her 147k subscribers. She did a great job on the recipe, I need to recreate and rephotograph it though. I was so broke at the time (10 years ago and newly single with 3 children) that the photos were taken with something that had cost me $5 (I was living in Canada at the time). You can tell but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Struggles shape us…
I digress, Sage is adorable, her aesthetic which is vintage 40s/50s is so interesting and she has chickens and eats 3 portions of cottage pie. You need to check out her complete series of recipes on her YouTube channel here and subscribe!
While you’re at it give me a subscribe too, my videos are terrible in comparison and all over the place (like my brain) but with only 740 subscribers it would be lovely to gain a few more. The 1940s Experiment on YouTube here.
Finally a thank you to Melanie Lester over on YouTube who let me know, I appreciate that and thank you once again to Sage, a huge compliment!

Oh ! Ha ha When I started to read this I figured you must have already been aware of Sage’s video and had done this post and I had missed it… and then I see my name in lights at the bottom 🤩 (just kidding ha ha). Glad to have been of help Carolyn ! I am going to revisit your cottage pie right now! X
Thank you so much Melanie, I had no idea so it was lovely when you let me know, love seeing other people recreating wartime recipes too! xxx
She looks fun, but yeesh the amount of fat used for the cottage pie would have Wartime cooks gasping!!
Haha! The original recipe was a blob of butter or margarine and 2oz cheese xxx
Well deserved! 👍
