The Cookbook Notebook

This charming book recalls a time when the housewives of Britain were still making

do and keeping a nation ‘fighting fit’. It contains a vast collection of recipes, from

a classic fish pie to a ‘gooey’ ginger cake, showing how even during the post-war

rationing period, food could still be adventurous and tasty. Go back to basics and

savour the tastes of the war years with this nostalgic collection of recipes. Illustrated

with fine drawings by the artist Edward Bawden.
