I’m a day late! But we had an awesome Christmas Day, very relaxed and laid back and the first ever year I didn’t have turkey or ham! (I did cook turkey for the kids though)..
Although I didn’t intend to cook a 1940s Christmas Dinner it unintentionally became one….pretty much everything on my plate was fresh veggies!
I’m not sure whether folk cooked mince pies BUT I couldn’t resist making up the mixture so I’ll be making a ration shortcrust pastry tomorrow- can’t wait for that š
Hope everyone had a super day and wishing you much joy and happiness in 2012

I did mince pies. Perfectly vegan and absolutely delicious. The effect of brandy on fruit is miraculous.

I’m so delighted! My family is exploring living on rationing for a year as our New Year resolution (UK circa 1945 rationing) and I stumbled on your site while planning the week’s menus. I look forward to following your blog!
