Description
The Ration Book Diet by Mike Brown, Carol Harris and C. J. Jackson is a social history of wartime dining in Britain during World War II. In 1939, as the nation prepared for war, the Ministry of Food introduced rationing and issued cookbooks to help manage food supplies on the home front. This book draws inspiration from the resourceful British housewife who had to grow her own vegetables, stretch limited resources, and still keep her family healthy. It features over sixty delicious and healthy seasonal recipes with a vintage twist, reflecting the thrifty spirit of wartime Britain. By exploring the intersection of food, war, and social history, this book offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in British history.
