I really enjoyed this book, although I really wish that it was in actual book format, rather than on my kindle. This book is designed like a workbook with interactive activities and recipes to follow along with. I really enjoyed this look back into what rationing was like during wars and how it all worked. The recipes will be fun to recreate and, I just really enjoyed this book. The author approached writing it with a true sense of humility and it was a joy to read!

Very informative and clever, I am a fan of world war two books and the rations that they had to survive on is often mentioned. Imagine a life where a digestive biscuit is a rare treat. I often wondered how they managed and what they were able to cook with what they had.

So if you're interested in learning about rations and how it felt to survive on them then this is the book for you.

With thanks to netgalley for an early copy in return for an honest review
What a super book full.of wonderful stories and recipes and so apt for the present day. I will definitely be trying out a good few of these gorgeous recipes thank you

I downloaded this book with interest as of course, Boris Johnson has just introduced a GB lockdown and people have been stockpiling and panic buying due to COVID19.
This book is well presented, giving historic background to rationing during WW2 , and compares food standards and tastes from then to now. There are spaces to make your own notes. It should be viewed as a working document. Reference is also make to UN global goals which is a great touch.
There are war time recipes using meagre ingredients. Incidentally I made fat-free barm brack (fruit bread) yesterday which was lovely, and that recipe was in the book.
All in all, this is an interesting read with some decent recipes.

Thanks to netGalley for the opportunity to read this ahead of publication in exchange for an honest review
