Foreword by Jean Anderson, author of American Century Cookbook. 15 illustrations., An affectionate and informative look at women on the Home Front in the 1940s, Grandma's Wartime Kitchen presents more than 150 classic recipes (updated for today's kitchens) along with anecdotes, advertisements, advice, and archival recipes from a unique and defining period in America's history. With details and personal voices that make the material come to life, the book covers: * The U.S. government's food rules and ration books * Substitutes for rationed sugar, and the delicious dessert recipes they inspired * Stretching butter, meat, coffee, and other staples * Cooking and baking for the troops abroad * Wartime entertaining including Defense Parties, progressive parties, and a traditional Thanksgiving dinner using wartime commodities * Monday Meatloaf, Mother's Fried Chicken, Macaroni and Cheese, Apple Dumplings, Vermont Johnny Cake, Honey Apple Pie, and many other recipes. At a time when America is saluting the soldiers who fought in World War II, this one-of-a-kind collection offers a portrait of the courageous (and delicious) contributions of the women who stayed behind.

  • zzgram's wartime recipes.

    Some very interesting stuff in here. I just might have to try a few and see how they turn out. It must have been tough with things like coffee and sugar being rationed. I wonder how I'd make out with only 1 cup of coffee a day. I would have been looking for the nearest black market I could find.

  • The book title says it all. Interesting stories are really interesting.

    I’ve already made two recipes from the book. It has simple ingredients, which most everyone has in his/her kitchen. They are delicious and economical.

  • Good Way to Save Money On Food

    this is a great book showing how recipes are adapted for short rations back in the day. The recipes are easy to follow though some ingredients aren't as easily available as they were in the 1940's.
