This gift book is collection of delightful and unusual recipes from the Second World War. Taken from the archives of IWM, the recipes show the ingenuity and creativity behind dishes rustled up out of meagre rations - from austerity recipes such as scrap bread pudding, potato pastry and sheep's heart pie to hearty English favourites including Lancashire hot pot, Queen's Pudding and crumpets. With colour images of wartime posters throughout and an introduction by an IWM historian, it is a fascinating look into what people ate in wartime.
Imperial War Museums is a British national museum organization with branches at five locations in England, three of which are in London. It is a leading authority on conflict and its impact.
"Victory in the Kitchen is not your usual cookbook: there are no beautiful photographs of food carefully prepared in studios, but instead a collection of simple, delightful and - to our modern palates - unusual recipes from the Second World War. It's all beautifully illustrated with some of the museum's collection of beautiful and often very funny wartime posters."-- "Country Life" "Introducing Victory in the Kitchen, a new recipe book filled with resourceful meals inspired by the kitchen tables of British households during the Second World War. Combines hearty favourites, including steak and kidney pie, crumpets, and Queen's pudding, with colourful war posters."-- "Period Living & Traditional Homes"
