This is a collection of recipes from the War. As a chef, I found this particularly interesting as these recipes were written during a period when there was rationing - ie limited ingredients. To create a recipe is a feat in itself but to do so with limited ingredients takes a whole new skill. When reading these recipes, a conscious reader will look at the method and try to understand why the ingredients added have been used and look at how they have been used, as after all cooking in many ways is a form of Chemistry.
