 Wartime remembered December 2, 2004

This book brought back many memories of the food we had to eat during WW2. We didnt have a lot of choice, I cant even think how my Mother kept us fed without going hungry, but she did. Many of the recipes I remember eating. This book is a Christmas present for my son (aged 43) just to let him know how we ate in those days. I hope he tries a few.

I bought this book about 20 years ago and use it often, as it is the only cookbook that really inspires me! In these days of Junk Food and microwave meals it is a joy to do "proper" cooking and I reckon this should be required reading for all schoolchildren. If they could be made to realise the dangers that our fishermen and merchant seamen went through to supply our country with food and provisions during the war they'd never, ever say "I don't like that........"

This cookbook is one of the best I have. It covers many aspects of nutrition that are as relevent today as they were during W.W.II. The idea of having to "make do" on a small amount of food each week, whilst still providing good nutritious food must have been a challenge. This book not only shows how this was done, but is also helpfull today, as it is generally recognised that people were healthier during the war years. Although I wasn't alive at the time, I find the recipies and the pictures of life duriing the war very informative. The recipies are easy to understand and can be used by both adults and children. These recipies are a good example of how "just because a thing is old (approx age of recipies 55 years) there is still a place in todays kitchens for the sensible eating of yesterday."

An excellent record of nutrition during the war years. I remember my mother using many of these recipes to stretch out the very limited rations we received.Dried eggs were our pet hate.They were really dreadful.

If you want real English cuisine (cheap, filling & tasty - think fish & chips) then this book is for you. All the recipes are very easy to follow and you will enjoy the savings compared to following the cookery crowd. Some of these recipes are of historical value - buy this today!
