Great Books for Your Cookbook Collection
Grandma's Wartime Baking Book: World War II and the Way We Baked by Joanne Lamb Hayes (St. Martin's Press, 2003)
Using original recipes from the 1940s, Hayes has assembled a collection of desserts and breads that are healthy and delicious. She offers not only authentic recipes with substitutions for butter, oil, sugar and other ingredients that were rationed, but also a glimpse into the lives of the women who were "keeping the home fires burning." The cookbook includes advertisements and information from the period, as well as examples of what women were reading, baking and serving.
Classic recipes and breads that are sure to bring back memories include:
- Service Cake
- Apricot Peach Pie
- Apple Butter Cookies
- Flaky Sandwich Bread
- Baked Lemon Puddings
- Shortcut Pastry Mix
