Welcome to my channel! Come experiment with me on forgotten recipes from days gone by! We'll be using recipes from the 1950's back to the dawn of time and seeing if they would hold up in the 21st century.

I enjoyed watching your video, yours was the first that didn't crush up the crackers and it seemed to work out for you. Besides the whole crackers your recipe appealed to me because of the lower sugar amount, but I will be adding butter under the crust. I also liked your surprise when you tasted it 🙂
your baking dish was probably too large, so everything didn't get covered. Also powdered milk is like skim milk, it has no fat in it that's why it did not taste rich.
People used to save their liquids when they were done boiling their vegetables to make a vegetable stock. Also, they would make stock with their bone scraps. So, you could make the broth for this pie more flavorful.
You should season the pie, put some salt and pepper in the veg before putting it in the pie dish. If you don't season properly, it is going to be tasteless. Put the marmite in the hot water with the spoon. Waving it around on your finger is really not how to cook. You always need a gravy with a pie, not American white sauce gravy, a proper British gravy, use stock, marmite and make a roux,that would be my preferred gravy to have rather than parsley sauce. You seem to be a very one inexperienced cook. I hope you do learn from more experienced cooks in the comments. ❤
I grew up drinking and loving orangeade! It was served at the food bar in every drugstore!! It’s far better than just orange juice!! The ice needs to be crushed fine!!
Great video! I watched your previous LWP recipe vid as well, good on you for giving it another try! I made the same mistake by overcooking the vegetables the first time I made it. Just made it again, I love adding cooked lentils to boost the nutrients. I’m living on British WW2 rations for an entire year as a challenge atm, a friend of mine just recommended your mock fish video which I am definitely going to try, can’t wait!
Hahaha As a European (and anyone else outside of the US and UK) I got a headache just listening to you talk about the measurments! This looks delicious!
If you soak the fruit in tea it adds flavour and makes the fruit moist , soft, and plumped up. It also keeps the bars birth moist and stops it being dry and crumbly
Your commentary is a way to negative... explain to me how cutting a real apple pie sound "appetizing" vs "non-appetizing"... both are relatively wet gooey mush... I do enjoy watching cooking videos to get ideas and recipes... but I don't just watch one of each food... and IF I were going to do a food blog I'd watch at least 6-12 others prepare this and pick and choose the best of all and know I'm making a positive product... the best one I saw didn't crumble the crackers and like yours actually looks like apple... you could have increased your crackers to up to 40 and your crust would not have sunk...
Really interesting recipe! I’m surprised it didn’t tell you to cool the custard part first, and I’m definitely gonna try this. I’ve also found my new binge channel! Thank you!
I’m so glad I found you! I remember a taffy that I bought in the candy machine at elementary school. Yes, we had candy machines at school. The taffy was green with a mint flavor. I tried and tried to find that candy everywhere. The closest was called mint julep, but again, I can’t seem to get it. I believe Necco made it and now it’s not available. Does anyone know what the flavor was? I’m guessing spearmint. If that was the flavor, I’ll follow your instructions for taffy making. Thanks a bunch!
Welcome! I would have LOVED a taffy machine at school. What a cool thing. I can dig into a little research for you to see if I can find something..was it more like a hard candy mint flavor or like the mint melts flavor (the ones that look like chocolate chips)
@@historicalcookingwithcourtney Oh thank you! It was more like mint hard candy flavor. It was a pretty strong flavor. It was cut into one inch squares and packaged in about a five inch rectangle. I loved my memories of my childhood. Things were so true and pure back then. I’m going to try and make some taffy following your recipe and instructions. Thanks so much!
I'm Welsh. My grandmother used to make Bara Brith a lot - never seen it made with carrots. As you say, it may be some sort of WW2 thing. It's pronounced Bara Breeth in Welsh BTW.
I love mock apple pie! Sometimes if I have just one apple I will slice it in, thinly, just to give the pie that real fruit texture. The flavor doesn't need improving, but the texture can give it away. But if people find a few identifiable pieces of apple, they are sold on the whole pie! Also, a crumble topping goes very well on this pie. The texture of a good crunchy crumble helps a lot.
This was such a surprising recipe! And I couldnt be happier with it. I like the idea of using an apple to magnify the flavor...what a great idea tho when you don't have enough apples.
Yes! Raw honey is a great alternative.. we use a TON of honey in our family and it doesn't bother my sugar sensitive people. And orange zest sounds amazing! I'm going to have to try that. Thanks for the suggestion 🤗
Happy Birthday and glad you enjoyed that cake. I work at a store in NC where we used to sell homemade Lazy Daisy cakes made from True Lights down the street. I miss them sooooo much. I ate at least three servings a week! :)
I like this. Your banter is even appealing. The history lesson and your surprise and excitement remind me of normal people making food - which is a good thing. I usually can't stand banter in recipe videos but you remind me of my thought process when I am baking. I don't see this in other recipe videos.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being here 😊 I too have a hard time watching cooking shoes sometimes and honestly what you see is what you get here....just me trying not to make a mess lol
Hey Courtney! I was so excited when i saw you had posted a new video. I love love love your channel i look forward to it. I hope your water issues have been fixed and you have a regular supply. This bread looks so good. We would put Montreal smoked meat on it with mustard and sauerkraut on it and oooh so yummy.
I'm glad you enjoyed it and you took some time out of your day to come watch! We're pretty close to having the water stuff fixed for good (knock-on wood) I hope by sometime next month I can be done with it! And your version sounds delicious! I've never had Montreal smoked meat but I can imagine its got to be good if it pairs with sauerkraut and rye 😁
