Wartime recipes with limited ingredients.

[Goodnessknows]

I wrote a trilogy a while back set in WW2 following the lives of those involved in teaching how to cook with limited ingredients. At the back of each book are a series of menus from that time which I've taken to loading on Facebook. It's amazing what I've done with ingredients found at the back of the cupboard - even made egg custard because I didn't have the tinned variety and used a muesli I didn't like as topping for a plum and apple crumble. Delicious!

Sounds grwat! I'd love to see this!

I don't use Facebook, is there anyplace else we may see your work? You can upload it (to give away, too) on Amazon. It's a fairly easy process. Or, just in pdf or a word doc would do for me, posted somewhere like Google docs and then you can share the link?

Strikingly has free websites for just this sort of thing, too. It's very user friendly. Blogger is also very easy to use and would be a good platform for this.

I like your graphic very much. Charmed!

Your books looks very intriguing I will look the recipes up . I’m loving the cover of your book

I have got an old cook book that I got with number 6, cigarette coupons when I was 20 so 46 years ago. I have got that out over the last weeks and made some wonderful really tasty recipes from it Partly out of having to much time on my hands, less in the fridge than usual and also to try something completely different

I have really enjoyed using it although it does involve a lot of butter and wine on sauces. Going to take a look at your recipes now Thanks for posting this on here x

Those recipes date from a time when the British population was supposedly at their healthiest - lots of veg, a bit of meat, some fish and hardly any fats and sugars.
