1940s cooking and stories
Step back in time with me as I recreate recipes from the 1940s! Using authentic cookbooks like the Boston Cooking-School Cook Book by Fannie Farmer and Stork Wartime Cookery Book I explore wartime kitchen traditions, ration-friendly meals, and post-war treats. From comforting puddings and pies to mock dishes, discover the stories, history, and flavours that defined this era. Perfect for vintage cooking enthusiasts, history lovers, and anyone seeking a taste of the past!
