Sage please don’t stop the cooking show! You’re fabulous and I absolutely love watching!
Where do you get your background music? I liked the jazzy one at the beginning!
I love profiteroles (eclairs), ❤ but I don’t like sweets, so I fill them with salmon mousse that you cooked in the previous video 😊
Aw...I’m sorry to hear your not doing these anymore. Honestly....your show is lovely, wholesome, clean and calming to watch. How wonderful your husband is supportive in this for you! To see young, married people makes me happy. I wish you nothing but the best in your next endeavor, and please let us know! Blessings from Michigan, USA
They are not married yet 💍
she will be doing them again soon! its a mini series she does when uni work gets more intense, I believe the new "season" might be 1940s rationing recipes? im excited!
Somehow, I don't think James will have any problem 'getting rid of' those treats for you ;) As my Dad used to say, "It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it!"
LOL I wish I could have some but it'd put me in diabetic shock unfortunately :(
My husband says that's too lol
When I was a kid my dad would say he is on a "seafood diet"...he sees food, he eats it xD
Please continue making your videos. They remind me of a Simpler time. Just lovely & so Relaxing.
You must do more cooking shows .🤩🥯🥯🥯some from the sixties would be great.
I'll keep that in mind!
@@SageLilleyman I agree! These cooking shows are so fun!
Lovely! Your chocolate sauce needs more confectioner's sugar to make it a bit more thick.
An absolutely fantastic trick I learned with filling piping bags is to stand the bag in a suitably sized glass or jug. Then you have your hands free to get the mixture (whether it's pastry, icing, mousse or whatever) off the spoon and into the bag! So simple, so effective.
During the bloopers, when the mixer was getting eaten buy a big lump of dough is absolutely hilarious
Sage Lilleyman you are the epitome of a true lady. I absolutely LOVE all of your videos because you pay beautiful homage to the great women of yesteryear. Thank you so much.❤️
Please please please don't stop your cooking show. I absolutely loved this and cannot possibly wake up on a Sunday not to see the newest! You give me the courage to try and my family thanks you! Not to mention how much I enjoy cooking with you! you are not pretentious at all and I don't feel like a failure if it doesn't come out "perfect" like the hosts. You keep it real. I would love to see 40s recipes next as that is the era I'm personally stuck in. PS: I love seeing the sparkle in your eye when your husband enjoys what you've made. All men should feel as lucky.
I will miss this series. I looked forward to it every week!
I'm so sorry to see the series ending. I hope you decide to do more. I love using old recipes your show has been amazing! Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Please, please, please continue to do cooking episodes!! I love vintage recipes and your presentation is lovely!
Hello! I have enjoyed these so much, please keep sharing these dining through the decades videos! What about the 1930’s or 1940’s?
Great idea! I'll keep that in mind!
Oh yes the 30s!
I wonder how many times in a day James thinks to himself - "That's my girl!" xx Sage, you are a lovely breath of fresh air..
1960’s Dining would be sooooo awesome😀
A little trick for piping bags: Spiral the end of the piping bag a bit and put it around your index finger or middle finger. That way you can hold it with one hand an don´t have to look out for dough dripping out at that end. Oh and if you want to pipe circles: Hold the piping bag vertical and straight above the tray. Only start lifting, when your piping bag is about to "drown" in dough. (like macarons are piped). For the eclairs do the same, but move slightly (while always keeping the bag straight vertically). This way you get circles and ovals without any problems.
I promise I’ve watched almost all of your hair tutorials, but I do not recognize this hairstyle! It’s a NEED for me! Please show us! ❤️
Yes I agree. It looks so adorable. I would love to see how she does it.
Wow I didn’t know Sage lived with Walt Disney
Cream puffs are one of my absolute favorite treats! Ahh, this is so fun!
Hehe thank you Kristina! ☺️💕
My mom used to make these throughout my childhood. So nice to see them homemade again! Thank you! 🥰
These have been really fun! I hope you will do more! What about doing some meals from the Great Depression. Those meals always had to be very creative.
The channel “cooking with Clara” is a good one for the depression era.
Aww😍
You two are as sweet as those eclairs! 💕 You are both so precious.
Thank you so much, Miss Sage, for gracing us with your beautiful presence and spirit.
Blessings,
Washington State USA 🇺🇸
Sage! You should do the Roaring 20s! I love watching your show each week! ❤️ Cannot wait for the next series!
Hi Sage!
I'm already missing this episodes, of course we want more...😊
Your eclairs and puffs are perfect Sweetie, just like You said - "homemade". I actually never tried to do it myself, it seems to be so complicated recipe😱...but You had so much fun with this that I probably give a shot... 😉
Thank You Sweetie ❣
Lots of love 💝
P.S. Your hair are different that usually, such a beauty Sweetie, such a beauty. 😊
You two are adorable. James is so tall. He is a lucky man to have such a sweet lady like you Sage. Love from England. 🇬🇧❤️
Hi Sage anything you do on your channel is a joy to watch. Thankyou ❤️🌹
Such fun to watch, your outtakes always give me a giggle. Such a pleasurable break from world news.
Sage I just found your channel our family returned to Canada in 1976 after spending two and and half years in Australia. I love watching your shows particularly your Christmas Shows as I had 2 years as a teenager there for Christmas. There is not a day goes by that I don't think of the time I spent in Australia and miss it. Thanks for adding to my memories
I have enjoyed your videos . They are so refreshing. I have gotten my granddaughter hooked on your videos. Were going to miss watching a good clean and honest video. Good luck on you future ventures.
They look so good your so sweet and you so bright and cheerful. Thanks for the series. Love it 😊
Thanks so much! I'm glad you have enjoyed the series 😊
Sage I love your cooking and vintage fashion shows ! Please do more ! I love James in them too !
absolutely yes, another era of cooking please!!!
We all need more of your beautiful and uplifting videos!
A tip: put your bag in a tall glass when you're filling it. Turn your bag over the edge of the glass. 😉😉💜
i would love to see a 1940s wartime and rationing cooking series as it would be amazing to see what it was like in Australia compared to the uk
I love the reality of your cooking shows. You provide a bright spot in my day 😁
This was my Mama's Go-To for Cream Puffs. She chilled her Blancmange & her Chocolate Frosting was thick & fudgy. We loved these bites of Heaven. She would make them once per year. 🥰😋
I loved the cooking series you could do a series based on recipes from different decades from the Gibson girl era to today’s unique recipes.
I would love more of these. I just love all the things you do.
I regularly rewatch your "dining through the decades" series. I enjoy the videos so much!🥰
You look BEAUTIFUL today.💐😊 Life is too short to skip the desert.🍩 THANK for the awesome video.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍 I do appreciate it.😊
Oh absolutely, dessert is one of the things that makes life with living in my opinion
For casualties of life, I found one of your videos on the recommendations so I decided to watch and I ended up loving yooou!!!
My mum made both of these for us in the sixties, they were so good. I have always been put off by the making of the pastry side of it but this video inspires me to try it, thank you😊
I literally just made cheese puffs using this same technique. I had never done it before. They turned out so good. And that dough! So many options! So easy.
I love your outfit today! And the hairstyle! Its all so cute!
Such a lovely series. I would love for you to do maybe the 40's.
Please do more cooking shows darling, these were awesome. Maybe do the sixties next, then the seventies & so on. That would be awesome. See you in your next video, hugs your way
I click on these videos just to hear this sweet girl say "Hello, Darlings!" Everything else in the video is simply a bonus. 😉
I’ve so enjoyed Dining Through the Decades!! I hope you’ll do another series! ❤️❤️❤️
Please show how you do your hair in this video. I absolutely love how you did it. Also they look yummy.
She has done a pin curling videos and simple hair styles too!
These segments were amazing!! Please do more!!!❤️
I have just watched all of season 1 of Dining Through The Decades and everything looked amazing but the maraschino cherry cake looked divine.
Yes Please more "Dining through the Decades!" I absolutely loved this series, and am so very sad to see it end. I love vintage cooking. To me its like going to grandma's house. It would be cook to see either the 40's or 60's to early 70's. Bloopers at the end were cute. We've all had those kinda accidents. Of this series, what was your favorite video to make, and food to eat? They all looked so yummy, and the videos were all so much fun. :) Thanks Sage!
I really wish you could do more 1950’s cooking shows!!
I always baked my cream puffs in my muffin pan. I have not made these in years. I’m new to this channel and I’m loving it.
You are just pure joy!! I loved this episode and so enjoyed the bloopers at the end! I was laughing along with you! 😆
I will miss these videos! They are my favorite ones you do! Could you maybe do cooking for different occasions through the decades? Like for a dinner party, potluck, night of card playing, picnic, etc? Any decade up through the 80s I think would work
I would love to see this series continue in the future. These videos are so fun to watch and learn from.
You made that look so easy! They looked delicious!!! Absolutely love your content. So refreshing. ❤
Oh Sage say it isn't so! I love your show! Come back , your program is so refreshing and wholesone!!
tip put the piping bag in a tall mug or glass so much easer to fill xx
They look delicious!
Thanks so much!! hahaha I struggle with baking so I really do make myself laugh :)
Yes, please continue cooking!!😘
Can I just say the into gives me The Great British Baking Show vibes! It's one of my favorite shows! Love your videos Sage!
Aw thank you! 💕
These cooking episodes were wonderful . I hope you bring more in the future... Your hair was darling in this video will we get a tutorial on that!. Can't wait to try thanks sage !
even the husband is dressed up as per the era! lovely!
James is as tall as my husband. I'm 5,1 myself. ❤💕 They look wonderful
I wouldn’t have used water in the frosting just me though. Your shows are lovely l love the old fashioned style of thing’s.
When I make these I use instant vanilla pudding as a filling and melt chocolate with a bit of butter and just drizzle across the top. So good!
I have one of those cook books that I got from an antique store and my mother still has her's from when she got married
Love chocolate eclairs !! Cannot eat anymore but happy to see you sharing!!
I have really enjoyed ALL of your 1950's recipes! I hope you do more in the future :)
Sheesh your boyfriend is so tall! I think this is the first time we’ve seen him standing next to you haha
Husband💕👍
@@Heidishereandthere oh husband! Aww
Are you sure husband?
He is actually my boyfriend! 😊
@@SageLilleyman ha! I was right 😊 lol
Bloopers are just amazing ... You look very kind hearted and down to earth ... Very generous ..will be pleased to meet you in future if destiny allows....
Lots of love , smile and joy from India .. 🤗🤗
Aw, thank you so much!! 💕☺️
If you do the 80s the Australia dried fruit association. Has a cookbook ,perhaps it would sponsor a show? Super cookbook. Called tastes of the sun. You'd make a fine spokesperson.
My mom would always make these when I grew up, and sometimes for us as adults! You are the first person besides her that I’ve seen use that recipe. Such fun to watch.
I am a new subscriber, and I am completely hooked on your content and have now binge watched at least 2 hours. The 50s have always had a special place in my heart ❤
Your videos are so informative and I especially appreciate you turning certain loader noises down or in favour of gentle music. As this means I can watch from the comfort of my own bed while my baby sleeps too, without the need to mess about with my volume.
Can't wait to see more.
Your hairstyle looks so beautiful ❤️
What a fantastic series this has been Sage. It's been such a pleasure to have you in the kitchen with me.
(These will definitely be repeating)
This is seriously something that should be weekly on regular television.
I have absolutely loved this whole series so much.
Thank you for making the weekends such a special treat 🌹
Perhaps a cooking series on jams, pickling and fruit? It was pretty much a standard thing to do for a long time but seems to be a lost skill nowadays.
Love that idea!!
This series was so much fun! You used my mother's favorite cookbook she was an excellent cook) so it brought back great memories! The corn starch pudding was a family favorite. We would put cookie crumbs on top. More vintage cooking please!!!!
Looks good. The only thing I would change is make a thicker chocolate frosting on top.
I know, unfortunately it didn't work out! I'll have to perfect it :)
@@SageLilleyman Yes, all while making this I thought of the lovely eclairs I had at my wedding reception. The chocolate on top was nice and thick.
You could just melt a bit of coconut oil or shortening in the chocolate to get a soft, but still thick consitency.
@@rauchschwalbelp7693 I agree. Thank you.
Simply Wonderful!
It´s a joy to watch your show. Thank you
Love your videos and the 1940 so simpel and comforting😊
I love this! How fun! I can not wait till you do more cooking!
These recipes make me think of summer! I'm excited to watch :)
I really want to see how you arranged your hair. It looks so gorgeous!
I hope you make another series from a different time era. Maybe war times?
I look forward to your new vintage videos 💕
I loved dinning though the decades hope you do more
You're simply the sweetheart of the 🇬🇧
These cooking videos are so fun to watch! It's also so fun to see you and James interacting, and the bloopers at the end 😂 You're one of my favorite youtubers for sure.
Aww thank you so much!! Xx ❤️
Love watching your channel!
I like that sage jumped into to cooking first,
Cause I hate when other channels spend forever in their intros talking about their sponsors.
Yes! Would LOVE to see more cooking shows! They are so good and have inspired me to try a new recipe every week from my 1968 Better Homes Cookbook ❤️
My mom has a "new" Betty Crocker cookbook that I would love to take for a spin someday, she uses it to make lentil soup and split pea soup which are both absolutely delicious ❤️
I love this series ❤️ and I hope you do another one soon. Maybe WW11 era? Using rations.
Sage, your hair in this video is adorable.
Aw I adore your cooking shows! I hope you decide to pick it up again someday 💗
Thank you so much for this series. The cream puffs are what I always thought eclairs were, at least I always had custard filled ones. Perhaps that is a Northeast part of America thing. I think I shall make your recipe for a group of friends once everyone has had their vaccinations.
They usually are filled with whipped cream or a more light filling, not only custard. I think that´s only the american varietion of it, I have never seen them filled with custard in Europe (at least where I live and traveled).
I’m so sad this is the end of your series. This has been my favorite series to watch. I’d love to see you make more.
Aw that means so much, thank you! I might be making a second series in the future focusing on another decade! 😊💕
