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.

Jubilee cupcakes

Sorry that I've been a little quiet of late, it's just I've been busy with a jubilee show my musical society was doing in aid of the Samaritans. Here's a picture of the Christmas pudding and chocolate cupcakes I made for the after show party! Not strictly on ration but it was a celebration.

The basic mix was:
225g margarine,
235g wholewheat flour,
225g demerara sugar,
1tsp baking powder,
4 eggs.

I just halved the mixture and added melted 75g dark chocolate and 3 tsp cocoa or 125g mincemeat and 2 tsp sherry for the different flavours. :)
