Description

First published in 1915, May Byron's Wartime Cookery Book soon became a classic of wartime Home Front cook books. With some 550 recipes, she showed how to make tasty meals from basic, readily available and homegrown products. May Byron gives us a flavor of life on the Home Front with her Wartime Cookery Book, showing the everyday woman how to put a meal on the table with a reduced selection of ingredients. She produced tasty recipes that could keep everyone fed using produce sourced mainly from Britain's field, hedgerows, and woodlands.
