Description
The Kitchen Front A Novel by Jennifer Ryan is a story about four women who enter a BBC-sponsored wartime cooking competition for a chance to change their lives. Two years into World War II, Britain is facing food shortages and rationing, but this contest offers a crucial opportunity for housewives to improve their circumstances.
For one young widow, winning the competition would mean paying off her husband's debts and keeping a roof over her children's heads; for a kitchen maid, it's a chance to leave servitude and find freedom. A lady of the manor sees it as an escape from her wealthy husband's increasingly hostile behavior, while a trained chef hopes to challenge the men at the top of her profession.
The competition is fierce, with each woman determined to win - even if that means bending the rules. As the contest unfolds, it becomes clear that winning may not bring the community together as intended, but rather serve to break it apart.
