Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Written against the backdrop of the First World War, this book offers a unique blend of practical cookery advice and insightful social commentary. The author, a man stepping in for a female colleague called away by war duties, addresses the challenges and opportunities presented by wartime conditions, particularly the need for thrift and resourcefulness in the kitchen. The book primarily targets middle-class households, those 'cursed neither by poverty nor by riches,' and encourages a shift away from extravagant pre-war culinary habits. The author emphasizes the importance of adapting to the realities of wartime, advocating for simpler, more sustainable practices while maintaining the pleasures of good food. Rejecting rigid adherence to recipes and scientific food theories, the author champions flexibility and resourcefulness, urging readers to 'plan your dishes with what you have.' He emphasizes the value of fresh, seasonal ingredients and critiques the overreliance on processed or overly concentrated 'fad foods.' The book encourages a return to traditional cooking methods like steaming and braising, promoting the use of casseroles and other tools that facilitate slow, gentle cooking. Ultimately, this book transcends mere cookery instruction, offering a philosophical reflection on food, consumption, and the art of living well amidst challenging circumstances. It serves as a timely reminder that culinary satisfaction and economic prudence can coexist, and that resourcefulness in the kitchen can be a source of both personal and national strength.
