| Description: | New paperback edition - First published in 1915, May Byron's Wartime Cookery Book soon became a classic of wartime Home Front cook books. With some 550 recipes, she showed how to make tasty meals from basic, readily available and home-grown products. During the First World War, Britain was nearly starved into submission, as so many ships were lost to German submarines. Basics such as butter, eggs, milk and meat were in short supply, so the British public had to find creative ways of making food go further.The Great War Cook Book gives us the flavour of life on the Home Front.With over 500 wartime recipes, author May Byron offers unusual alternatives to traditional ingredients to produce tasty and nutritional meals.From Ox-Brain Fritters and Fish Custard to Shepherd’s Pie and Trench Pudding, there is something for everyone. Some are outlandish and challenging and some familiar, but all offer the opportunity to make more for less.In the words of author May Byron, ‘If you cannot have the best, make the best of what you have.'' |
