Sue Baker's view...
I’ve always been intrigued by the ingenuity displayed by the WWII housewife and that make-do and mend philosophy is particularly apt for today and the point that’s really salient, became healthier with making do with less. In The Ministry of Food you can find a good mix of gardening and kitchen advice and recipes with a generous sprinkling of historical background, well illustrated with reproductions from the 1940’s.
