This book was very interesting to read. Unlike most recipe books, which are dry and boring, this makes for a highly entertaining read. It does not just contain recipes, but it also shows real tips, articles and advertisements from World War II. Despite having to cope with strict rationing (or perhaps because of the war rations), Britons were the healthiest they had ever been, or would be again. The recipes in this book look to be both economical and tasty and I cannot wait to give them a try! ( )
