About Me

My photo
I will attempt to update wartime recipes to modern tastes, in order to keep up with new trends, attitudes and approaches to food and it's preparation while still keeping a traditional British wartime feel to recipes. I will start by making recipes to the letter and move forward from there to encompass different modern diets. I will attempt to make meals first fit in to a popular diet plan and then will move on to Vegetarian/Vegan versions. So that everyone can enjoy British wartime recipes. This experiment is for my own amusement as well as to feel closer to my grandparents over the years they cooked and lived through hard times.

Beef shortcakes!

Gorgeous beef shortcakes. Unfortunately due to copyright on the book I got it from, I cannot share the recipe. However the book is called "The victory cookbook" and the author is the one and only Marguerite Patten OBE, who worked for the ministry of foods during the war. She was also the first television chef! I got the book from Amazon. It's published by the imperial war museum.
