Abstract
We cite from the COVER:
"This book tells the story of the Second World War on the Domestic Front. Women managed without almost everything: potato peelers and prams, food and fuel, transport and cosmetics — and men. They coped with rationing, evacuation, separation from families, long hours of work in factories, hospitals and on the land."
"Through it all, they kept the nation fed on ingeniously nutritious and economical meals — hundreds of the best, and some of the worst, are included here. Often funny, sometimes sad, always fascinating, this is a social history and a cookery book, a remarkable picture of the deprivations and dramas of the women's war."
