I actually own that Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook. It was a wedding gift given to me by my Sister when I married in 1964. It’s full of great recipes, and helped me learn how to cook as a newlywed.

I havent been feeling the best today and this happy little video just popped up in my subs. You never fail to put me in a happier, more relaxed mood! Lots of love from Ireland xx

Ahhh, the joy of separate hemispheres... Sage: This recipe is delicious on a chilly Winter's night. Texas: 93°

You and laci faye are the reasons i starting falling in love with the 1950s. There really needs to he a town where we can have stuff from the 1950-70s but the modern look on life and values. I think it would be amazing

I so enjoyed this! I am a child of the 50s and a bride of the 70s. I grew up on some of these (in Texas, USA) and still make them today! In fact, I have a meatloaf in the oven as I was watching this! I take the easy way out, though, and bake potatoes as the meatloaf is cooking. Add a salad and supper is ready!

My grandma used to put the ham bone in the soup from Christmas dinner to make pea soup. It was incredible.

I love how soft your voice your videos are my go to’s when I’m feeling overwhelmed with the world 🤍🤍🤍

Ohh I am so so soooo happy you are back. I just love your videos. Girl your the best. Love you!

とても美味しそうです✨ 日本人なので言葉は通じませんでしたが、美味しそうなのは伝わりました❤️ 素敵なビデオをありがとう🌸

Next time you want to cut something, use scissors. I use my kitchen scissors to cut pizza, veggies, lettuce for salads and I've even used my scissors to cut bread into perfect pieces lol. I really appreciate how beautifully produced your videos are. I get so excited when a new one pops up in my subscriptions. Keep it up!

Just as a suggestion, anchovy works great as an alternative to MSG for the spaghetti sauce! It's far more authentic and is actually considered the "MSG of Italian cooking". And it doesn't taste fishy at all once it breaks down, just beautifully salty!

Welcome Back Sage! I love the video and use the 1950s Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, myself. Being American I also especially like to see the recipes from your Australian vintage cookbooks. xo

WINNER WINNER FISH PIE DINNER! 🎉 HUSBAND LOVED IT! We’ll make this often! Thank you for sharing the recipe @sageLillyman

Anyone willing to make a homemade meal from scratch will never be lonely. Nice job young lady.

Saving this video! I love the vintage cookbooks because the recipes use basic ingredients that you probably have most of in the pantry. Modern recipes always have huge lists of very specific ingredients and are not very economical! Fabulous video!

Hi Sage, I think you have the best intro, "Hello darlings". 😊 These look so good, especially the Pizza loaf. I wish there was a Sage Restaurant near me. Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos and saying hi from S. California. 🥰

Well done, classy and relaxing. Thank you SO much Sage! ❤

Fish pie is not common in America, I make a British version that is topped with mashed potato, it’s quite different from this one. I’ll have to give this one a try as well.

My Mom used to make very similar dish to the fish pie You showed! She used to sautee onions first and then layer them on top of fish, then put sliced canned peaches on top. Trust me it's delicious! She served it with white rice. Salty and sweet, very light, easy but secial at the same time. Mabye You'll try that version too!

Loved this video! Start doing more cooking videos please! It’s awesome learning older recipes. I am from Canada and have a few recipes my granny taught me, I could send them too you! ❤

I have a newer version of the Common Sense cookery book! I love it, it's the best reference for basic stuff like "how long do i need to roast this type of meat" and "how do you make white sauce". The recipes are so simple, with a few complex ones thrown in, and they are all classics.

My Great Grandmother use to make the fish pie. I actually have her hand written recipe for it. But I was never sure if I should try it. This gives me confidence to try! If you say it's wonderful then I definitely want to try!

I'm gonna have to try some of these. Btw your entire 50s/60s vibe is amazing. I love the music and scenery of those times

Such lovely recipes from thec1950s ,a really lovely historic take on what food was like ❤👍 ❤. We hope your well and having a good day Simon and Beth watching from England 🇬🇧 ❤❤❤

These look wonderful! I am always looking for recipes like these to try, so I am putting them on the menu for this week! Always enjoy your videos, Sage! 💜

Wee! Sage is back in the kitchen. 🎉 Those all look yum!

They looks so simple and so adaptable for different dietary requirements

Sage, you did it again. 🎉 I enjoyed everything about this video. The music was spot on, relaxing, well narrated, your love of cooking great meals for yourselves truly stands out. All the recipes look delicious and I am going to make the fish pie… your voice is so soothing, your outfits are so adorable, your beautiful face, hair and makeup as always makes me smile. Please give yourself a pat on the back, better yet a blue ribbon. Thank you again, as we are sure James thanks you when he sits down for these meals made with love. God Bless you Sage.

I’ve never heard of fish pie before, but it sure came out looking tasty! Thanks for sharing these recipes, Sage! Eager to try these out 😊

Looks delish

OMG THIS IS MAKING ME SO HUNGRY! Luckily dinner is almost ready! I really want to try these!

I'm gonna have to try some of these especially the pea soup and fish pie

I literally just used the better homes cookbook for my meal planning this week and i picked the pizza loaf too! What a coincidence 😮😅😊

I was so happy to see the notification for this video. I love just about everything vintage. 1940s is my favorite but I do dabble in other eras. Lol. All the dishes looked delicious.

Sage! Welcome back! I LOVE vintage cooking videos. 🌺 I have a 1950’s Betty Crocker cookbook; it’s awesome. I love how it explains even the simplest cooking/baking instructions, and has an exhaustive glossary of terms. It’s like a sort of “cooking for dummies”, which is exactly what I needed! 👩🏻‍🍳

I feel like turn to many years ago soo miss this part moments could imagine how many possitive vibes we do❤❤❤❤

I love how you use vegetarian mince in the recipes! It's exactly how I do it too, simply alter that but keep the rest of the recipe the same. I used to have to work a bit harder to create the vegetarian version before they invented this mince, but now it's so easy and honestly a lot of fun!

Split pea soup, nothing better! They were all great recipes!

My mom would add dumplings to the pea soup. Yum!

Hola... no entiendo el inglés, activo los sub-titulos, pero me encantó escuchar tu tono de voz pronunciando el inglés... Es como un ASMR para mi cerebro... Disfruté mucho tu video...

Thank you for giving me a trip down memory lane - meals and flavors I remember growing up :)

You are my favorite person to watch! So excited that you’re back!

🌺Thank You Sage, these recipes bought back memories of my Nana’s beautiful cooking… Looking forward to you cooking more vintage recipes Darling xoxo 💋

I just made a version of Finnish Salmon Dill Soup, I'm getting those vibes with the first recipe ❤

The Pizza Loaf is in the oven now! I substituted the bread crumbs with shredded mozzarella to make it low carb and used a low sugar pizza sauce instead of tomato sauce. Stay tuned!!!

That’s our tea this week sorted. I think, feel and believe I will enjoy the fish pie and the soup. Will come back and give my verdict.

I'm convinced that these foods are really delicious. Nothing beats fresh home cook meals.

My Dad taught Us to use Oats when making Meatloaf. Your Food looks Amazing.

Hi Sage! Can I suggest a knife sharpener? Just make sure you sharpen it over a surface you can wipe down before cooking and rinse the knife. That will avoid tiny medal shavings in the food. But you definitely need to sharpen your knives. Things like slicing the mozzarella or even the onion will be MUCH easier. Another tip for slicing or shredding cheese: pop into the freezer for a little bit before slicing or grating. It falls apart much less, and I find leaves less of the cheese on the knife or grater. Love seeing old fashioned cooking on your videos. I’m not Australian by birth or background but was raised here and married an Aussie. I was not always the biggest fan of traditional old school Aussie/English food but I grew to appreciate much of it. My husband’s grandmothers cooked that way. And even when I learned cooking at school, our textbook was Cookery The Australian Way! My mother in law still had her copy from the 70s, mine was slightly updated but still mostly the same recipes and information. I do cook Chilean food too, but I didn’t for ages as I was sick of it growing up 😅 now I’m appreciating my mum’s cooking so much more and cooking it myself. I made a version of Fish Pie when times have been hard with canned fish, oftentimes canned salmon. With onion. Very similar to your recipe.

You came back with a lovely video that we needed! Thank you love! Have a blessed day! ❤❤

My mom made the fish pie recipe back in the 70s . I funny enough still make this ! She used salmon bechamel sauce =white sause and mashed potatoes. breadcrumbs on top of potatoes. Bake till crisp!😊❤ love this video!! ❤ from the US!

They all look yummy! Thanks for including the recipes.

A new Sage video is always a good way to start the day! Your videos are such a comfort watch for me. I'd be tempted to try that Pizza Loaf, it sounded so good!

Thankyou Sage ❤️ love your videos Have a wonderful day 💗☺️

Omg! Cheese and meat in a loaf......what is not to love with that! I did a rage bake this afternoon out of my 1970s family circle cook book. Brilliant ideas for quick dinners

Thinks for the lovely happy videos Sage....Sage the queen of retro.

I absolutely adore these videos. They make me feel so happy and relaxed. The first recipe looks very yummy 🤤

Sage, these recipes just scream comfort food and look absolutely delicious. I want to try that meat loaf with mozzarella cheese soon ; maybe with my next pay period . And I love homemade split pea soup…. it is simply heartwarming on a cold fall or winter evening. Thanks so much for sharing these!

Your videos are so delightful, a perfect ending to a Sunday evening!

I loved it, for the soup if you render the bacon fat and saute the onion and vegetables first before adding the peas I believe you would have even better taste =)

Your videos always brighten my day Sage. Thank you for what you do:)

I love your sweetness, almost innocence, so refreshing ❤ our Rita Hayward Sage.

Enjoyable video as always. The Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook is a staple in my family's kitchens.

Love this! I think I'm going to try the soup one because my dad has a thing for croutons and my family loves soup! Can't wait for more vids from our Vintage Queen! ✨

I love pea soup, however, I have never heard of adding mint. I’m going to give this recipe a try this week. I’m happy you are back, Sage! I’ve missed your vids.

I par-freeze my soft cheese if I want to get good slices or I want to shred it. It makes life so much easier. These recipes look good. I may have to try them.

Love it. The music , the dishes, everything 😊

I was born in 1950, husband in 1948. I remember my Mom making salmon croquettes, meatloaf, chicken rice soup, homemade apple pies from scratch, cinnamon & sugar sprinkled over the leftover dough, then rolled up, cut and baked, we called them pinwheels. My husband remembers his Mom making tuna casserole, a meat (steak or breaded porkchops) with mashed potatoes & gravy with a canned vegetable, spaghetti & meatballs, sausage & sauerkraut with mashed potatoes. My Mom made the best German potato salad! Also the most delicious sauerbraten, which we called sour meat noodles.

My father used to make "halibut Olympia" when I was a kid and it was made just like this and I loved it!

This kind of cooking is my favorite 😍

I bet glazing the meatloaf with jarred pizza sauce would be awesome! It looks so good!!

My mum who would have been 90 this year made something similar when i was growing up in 70's 80's. Instead of milk she added water to the white sauce and lemon juice and fried up onions and layered it like this.

A new Sage video! Yay! Thank you for the meal ideas. These dishes all look delicious!

I do in home consignment. I recently had the pleasure of working with a woman who was doing a Swedish death cleaning and i got to learn so much stuff about the 40'-70's just by talking to her while i was listing stuff.

Sage, this video was classy. Good job!

I'm 53 and started to learn to cook and bake about as soon as I could hold a spoon! I make so many "retro" recipes that I learned to make in the 70s and 80s from my Grandmother and mother. My Gramma taught me mostly German cooking w/o a cookbook or measurements! She taught me to measure by eye because no two times you cook will everything be the same. She didn't say humidity or the oven being a bit wonky and I don't think there were the electricity drains we have today (I'm in a 1956 NY state home with original electric sowe get brownout and blackout for our house often). I learned from her to cook with all my senses. My mother's lasagna is always requested by my family. I also collect cookbooks and have a few from the 1800s! I'd love to find old ones like you have from other countries in these bygone eras. Your channel popped up on suggestions and I'm so glad!!

These all look delicious! Thanks for sharing. 😋

Hola Sage ❤me encanta tu canal ,tu casa es realmente hermosa 😊

I’m been going through tough times this summer and your video really made my day so good. Thank you so much

I love your vintage cooking videos so much!

I love these old recipe videos. Please do more of these. ❤❤❤

How did you get so good beyond your years beautiful presentation Yes life was more simple

I loved all of the recipes, but my favorite was the fish pie from Australia. I have got to try that it looks awesome. Thank you for these recipes. I’m going to try all of them.

All of these dishes look delicious! Thank you for sharing them!

I Just Adore You! I Cared For My Nanny And Pap. I Have So Very Many Of Her Things! Many Think I Should Redo, Have All Her Cookbooks, And Cannot Even Bring Myself To Move Her Things. Some Things, Are To Be Treasured! Blessings And Love!!!!

The spaghetti sauce reminded me of my childhood (60's and 70's). My Mom didn't buy the prepared sauce in a jar until I was almost grown.

I have that same better homes and garden cook book. My grandma used it, so did my mom. It’s my favorite

Watching your videos always makes me happy and puts me in a good mood😀

I live in a 1950's house and i must say i do enjoy the 1950'2 style

Really enjoy your vintage cooking. So simple and yet so delicious . Sage you are an inspiration to those of us that would love to step “out of the box” and try new (vintage) recipes. Thank you for you lovely channel.❤
