How to make 1940's Cottage Pie | Dining Through The Decades Episode 6 Season 2 Finale

Hello Darlings, this is the last episode for Season 2 of Dining Through The Decades! This 1940's Cottage Pie is absolutely delicious and is by far one of the best meals I have ever eaten! I do hope you try it out, I promise you will love it!
Thank you all so much for hanging out with me for this 2nd season of the Cooking Show, I have had so much fun! The next time you see the kitchen it will be all done up because we are starting the kitchen renovations in 1 week!
I love you all and I'll see you next week for another video!
Lots of love,
Sage Xx

Cottage Pie
1 lb mince beef ( note a weeks ration of mince beef for one person was about 1/2 lb )
several large potatoes
2 oz cheese
dried herbs (Rosemary & Thyme work well)
salt and pepper
beef stock like bovril ( 1 pint or more)
bisto gravy powder
peas and finely chopped carrots and onion optional
blob butter or margarine
Method
Brown the mince
Add the chopped veggies (optional)
Add salt and pepper and herbs
Add beef stock, stir and simmer for 15 minutes (thickening towards the end by mixing bisto powder with a little cold water to a runny paste and adding to beef stirring all the time- beef sauce should be quite thick!)
Meanwhile chop up all the potatoes into small chunks
Place in salted hot water and bring to the boil until tender and drain.
Mash with generous blobs of butter or margarine, add salt and pepper to taste
Finally add milk so mash is spreadable
Place beef sauce in a small cooking tray with deep sides or shallow casserole dish
Pipe or spread mashed potato on top
Sprinkle with 2 oz of grated strong cheddar and some dried herbs if you like
Place in oven for 20 minutes at 200 c
Finish off under broiler/grill to brown top
Serve with steamed fresh veggies!
Serves 4 with veggies

There's just something wholesome and heartwarming about watching someone make, eat and enjoy their food. I was watching this whilst making a veggie bake and I feel it turned out better because I was feeling so happy and wholesome whilst watching this. Lovely video!

[@Sweet_Melissa22]

I'm gonna miss your cooking every Saturday!!! I can't wait for season 3!!!

[@SageLilleyman]

Aw thank you so much Mel!! That is so sweet of you! xx

[@maxfr142]

Me too! 😭

[@rhight]

I am drawn to this series because of Ms. Lilleyman's obvious respect and love for those who came before, dealt with tough times, and came out champions despite whatever obstacles they had to face down. EDIT: Also, I like the part where the bag of peas came apart on you. Much fun! (It's happened to me, LOL.) Thank you for your contribution, Sage.

[@Leglag724]

I've been vegan (for my health) I have made a vegan version of this :) I used the impossible ground meat, vegetable stock instead of beef gravy; for a hearty flavor I use mushroom powder with 1 cup of veg. stock. Adding carrots, peas onion and garlic to the mix. To make my mashed potatoes I used vegan butter (soy free) and home made almond milk ( dried almonds soaked in purified water over night then ground and pressed) I bought a nut milk maker from amazon that works great.

[@lynnmiller1287]

i've made it with lentils instead of beef

[@bluee87529]

Vegan for the animals 🙋‍♀️

[@Daniela-mx4xo]

You're delightful, Sage. Something about your voice is so comforting, and the pie looked amazing. Totally making it this week!

[@nancyhuenergardt8442]

Seeing you slice into that at the end made me think of the Shepherd's Pie that we serve on the airplane from Frankfurt, Germany. I've had to explain to the Germans what it is, as they don't eat it, but it's our best coach meal!! I always tell them to eat it (always choose the beef!) and they do love it!! Got a real kick out of the "saucy" remark and Austin Powers!

[@thelostwoods8]

I'm from Newfoundland and we also make something similar called Sheppards pie, love it so much.

[@JadeStrawberry]

So yummy for this time of year, Autumn where I'm located. It turned out beautifully just like all the other dishes you made. I really love this series and hope you plan to continue on with a season 3 and beyond.

[@SageLilleyman]

Oh that means a lot, thank you! 💕

[@cgalaforo777]

I didn’t know that potato peel pie was a real recipe! The first time I even heard of it was in the movie “ The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.” It was a cute movie, and you kinda look like Lily James, y’all are both beautiful!:)

[@Midlife_Manical_Mayhem]

i believe i remember reading that the movie was based on a true story.

[@natalieh9941]

That movie was amazing!😊

Read the book, it's even better :)

[@DominiqueGarofalo]

@@lilyn7497 I loved that book so much! I think of it often.

[@cak8132]

I agree, Crystal!! Sage does look like Lily James. I’ve always thought that.

[@dawngable4622]

This was always one of my favorite dishes, here in the USA, we call it shepherds pie when I make it I’ll even add a tiny amount of tomato paste, about 2 Tbsps. It gives the sauce a little bit more umami. Sometimes I’ll substitute the carrots for parsnips and turkey for the ground beef. Anyway you make it it awesome. Another favorite growing up was what we call creamed chipped beef on toast/biscuit, another yummy meal from the era

[@bananasinpajamas9499]

We called are cream chipped beef shit on a shingle,I think I'll make some,I do love it 😁

[@stephaniewalk2777]

My daughter and I truly appreciate your lovely videos...

[@claremiller9979]

I made this tonight for my family, my parents finally could come down from Sydney to Melbourne. It was a huge hit, everyone said it was indeed delicious! I had some Our Mate aka Marmite in the cupboard so I added a blob of that because it's always great in gravy.

[@lorisiedl8733]

Love cottage pie it's kind of our most comfort meals that you want down or it's just cold and winter

[@JuliaC313]

Sage I’m really not one to cook but this video inspired me to try this recipe on my own 😊. It took me a little longer than I thought (I wasn’t using enough liquid or heat at first) but in the end it turned out really good 😊. I’m so proud and so happy to have found your channel. Been watching for over a year now:)

[@SageLilleyman]

Aww that’s so great to hear you tried the recipe out! Thank you so much for being subscribed for over a year(that’s amazing!!!) 💞😊

[@willjackson1955]

@@SageLilleyman Hello Sage! I LOVE your " Dining Through the Decades" series, keep it up! By the way, as an Italian, I notice the striking similarity between the cottage pie filling and our Ragù, which is what you call bolognese sauce. It's something historic, that dates back to the 19th century and has evolved with time. Nowadays, it's staple of italian cusine. I've seen your "Italian Sauce" video and noticed that you really liked it, so if you'd like to try your hand at making Ragù I will pass your my grandma's recipe! By the way, you should post more of your bloopers, I find those amazing! Have a good day - An Italian Fan

[@albertocabezas282]

I absolutely love the way you laugh whenever you make a mistake.

Congratulations on a great season! I am absolutly trying this one out soon!

[@SageLilleyman]

Thank you so much Jane! Let me know how it goes! xx

[@davidhutchison3343]

Love your wartime cooking series. The biggest issue wartime housewives had was getting the flavour enhancers, like onion, spices etc.

[@larissaedwards2271]

I just made this last week but I call it “Shepard’s pie” keep doing what you’re doing me & my daughter LOVE watching your videos 💕

[@marylee7467]

Shepards Pie is actually made with ground lamb , mutton specifically. Ground beef is cottage pie. I say yummy 🙂

[@ashl3ymich3ll3]

I used to call it Shepards pie as well until I learned that meant ground lamb rather than beef.

[@EshaSmall]

@@ashl3ymich3ll3 yeah but bc ground beef can be used as a substitute the name can still be used . All I know is it’s good lol

[@nealgrimes4382]

Shepherd's pie should have Lamb, clue in the name.

[@hughsherer8747]

James does a great job of editing the vids. Made me snicker what he shows the bit from The Spy Who Shagged Me, “Oh Behave”

[@rollandjoeseph]

I love her spontaneous laughter,, what a hoot! Few thoughts, the carrot and potato scraps could be used to feel the chickens? But if not, you should have a compost bin going with all the veggie scraps you have then grow your own veggie in your own victory garden..also I never used a powdered gravy like that, is it popular there? Love shepards pie(lamb) but cottage pie ( ground beef) is good to!one last tip..never water your garden during the day as it may burn the plants. Only water in early a.m. or evening 😉

[@eunicel5964]

I have made this recipe three times. It is different than any other cottage pie recipe I have ever seen however it is the only recipe I will use from the first time I made it. This is so so good. Last time I made a double batch and got some of the mini loaf pans and made individual servings and put them in the freezer for lunches. This is so very good. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I am sending you all of the love that I have in my heart.

[@catherineanhari7573]

We call it shepherds pie in the US. We put seasoned beef with onion and ketchup or tomato paste, then top with corn and cream corn in the middle and mashed potatoes on top, topped with a little butter. Your meal looks so good. Thank you for sharing this. God bless you.m

[@nealgrimes4382]

You call it Shepherd's pie incorrectly, Shepherd's Pie is another British dish that should contain Lamb. What do Shepherds look after ?

[@CarinaPiersay]

You look adorable today! We always called that Shepherd’s Pie. I love your retro kitchen tools! I have a bunch of them. I hang them on the wall as decorations.

[@MsMamaTee92]

Here is the US we call it Shepherd’s Pie. (I don’t know if that’s where you’re at or not. I just know it’s where I am and that’s what we’ve always called it.) Though after I lived in England I learned that their Shepherd’s Pie is made with lamb mince and not the beef mince. Which makes sense of you think about it.

[@kiymberly1990]

@@MsMamaTee92 yes technically Sheppard's pie is made with lamb mince. But I know my mum always called it Sheppard's pie no matter what mince she used for it.

[@MsMamaTee92]

@@kiymberly1990 a lot of people do. I just know it’s more common to do so here in the US than in the UK. That’s all I was saying.

Shepherds pie is made with lamb, and cottage pie is made with beef- but my family calls everything Shepherds pie as well :)

[@pizzadohpaz]

Hello Sage, new subscriber here! Quick tip my mom taught me about making mashed potatoes- rinse them after they've cooked. It helps take the starchy taste out! I haven't seen any other comments about it so I thought I'd share some American Southern wisdom ;) Lovely video! And lovely channel!

[@rowanaembers4929]

Oh how i wish you had a "Christmas playlist" of your videos... i just watched your video making Ginger biscuits, and oh my word i need to try those. And wanted to see more ^_^

[@helenshack2838]

You can make a delicious soup by reserving the boiled water from the potatoes. By adding a few chopped carrots , onions celery and any thing else you have bits of in your pantry like barley , rice , or lentils will add substance to the soup . Any kind of dried beans or dried split peas or small portions of frozen vegetables that need to be used from your freezer will also be good. The starchy salty water from the drained potatoes is a great base for a terrific soup. Yum 😋

[@kristentregoning331]

I love watching the little chicken butts waddle away from the camera. Makes me smile, so cute!

[@ellenbedford3888]

I just made Shepherds Pie using lentils. I usually add a bag of frozen mixed vegis and always make extra potatoes for the top. Love the crispy/browned potatoes! I make extra for the freezer, so I have a quick healthy meal on hand!

[@karalynne7616]

Yep love cottage pie! This recipe looks yummy, will be making soon, likely next week, thanks😊 For everyone correcting--cottage = beef & shepard's = lamb. And I am in the US. My guess is many didn't like/want lamb so used beef and still called it shepard's😉

[@ginafranciosi3252]

I grew up eating this as Shepard's pie and didn't learn the difference until about 10yrs ago (I'm 55) . Often wondered why and I guess you might be right. We never had cheese on it though, that's news to me .

[@melanielester2106]

Many decades ago I lived and worked in Sydney. I had the honor and pleasure of dining at the home of a professional acquaintance and this exact dish was served. I can still taste it! Savory and incredibly delicious. My friend told me her mother used to make this every Sunday for the family during the war. I lost the recipe and am so thrilled you've shared it!

[@cynbartek9324]

Here in the States we put Tater Tots on a similar meat mixture. I add cheese and finely diced green chili peppers to the meat. I also *bake* the Tater Tots *separately*, and when the meat mixture is baked I set the baked Tater Tots on it. I like crisp Tots! Occasionally I'll use mashed potatoes instead. Yours looks so delicious, and the addition of herbs is something I will try next time with mashed.

[@TheCuriousConservative]

It reminds me of shepherd's pie so I am absolutely in for this recipe! Thanks for sharing!

My Mom made this often when I was growing up and always enjoyed it 🙂! As other commenters have noted, we call this Shepherd's Pie in the US. I'm now vegan so I plan to have this soon and veganize it! I'm in Florida and we don't usually get to enjoy Autumn weather but, so far, we've had two cool weekends in a row. Last night, it was in the mid 40s (Fahrenheit), daytime highs in the 50s and 60s and next weekend, they predicting it will be even cooler. So, it will be a perfect time to make this recipe! I've ❤❤❤ed this season of Dining Through the Decades and looking forward to a season 3!

[@davidhutchison3343]

Traditionally, shepherds pie was made with lamb, whilst cottage pie was made with beef or pork, but basically, it's the same thing. It's one of our stables in my household

[@rosesperfumelace]

My mom made this yummy dish. One of my favorites. I made a Mexican version with ground beef, chopped bell peppers, onions, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and topped it off with cornbread. Then added sour cream when it was cooled a little bit.

Love your videos, just a quick note. Bisto powder you add cold water to slake it. Bisto gravy granules you need to add recently boiled water. And both products, need to be added to boiling liquid and then simmered. This may be why your gravey didn't thicken straight away xxx

[@debraanneclark2188]

I haven't commented throughout season 2 but every recipe you have made has been amazing even the Lord Woolton pie despite the amount of liquid preventing the filling thickening.

I was watching the video and you got to adding the Bisto and I had to look it up because I had never heard of it. I thought when looking it up it was going to be another thing that they just don't have in America,but to my surprise every place including my local supermarket has it. I also found Bisto is vegetarian so I will be buying some the next time I am out and trying this recipe.

My Irish grandmother made her's with minced lamb. It too was just delicious. I don't use lamb though - too expensive - I use beef. I tend to make cottage pie when I have leftover gravy from a pot roast.
