Food Facts for the Kitchen Front | Essential Cooking Tips & Nutrition Guide for Home Chefs | Perfect for Meal Planning & Healthy Eating

I'm really enjoying this book and even picked up beets at the store, which I've never done.The cooking instructions are for people who already know the kitchen well but it's just as much fun to go in and create the meal with your own imagination.Interesting is that, by default, the British of World War II must have been some of the healthiest people on earth. Due to the necessity of rationing, it's evident in this small book that the people were forced to not only eat better but cook the foods more effectively.The book couldn't be more brief and yet informative.The whimsical, social activist vegetarian may not find the book useful as it calls for the use of every scrap, bone and dripping of available meat to be used in vegetable dinners. (not stated but implied)But if you're a naturalist and choosing to eat more vegetables and still retain the health benefits of meat portions this book could help you, in brief and easy to comprehend terms, to build an enjoyable vegetable recipe book of your own.Who knows, maybe you'll end up harvesting the natural lard from real pork scraps and even plant a few pots of beets to enjoy the good supply of homegrown chard.As well, there's a moment when reading a recipe that calls for the use of an onion to which the words are added, "if possible".To have a disposable type of food such as an onion during peace time mentioned as not being quite so disposable is an echo what it means to suffer a war; where the common has become prized.History buffs should enjoy the opportunity meet the past with a spatula and try to imagine what the same meal might have been like in that period.
