I’ve just discovered your wonderful blog and been having fun reading through your posts. This idea of rationing was so inspiring that when I got home from work I pulled out all my old ‘war time’ cook books (even one my mother gave me with the blue wartime rationing section) to see what I could make for myself.
However, I have a question, which I think you might have addressed elsewhere, but I haven’t come across. How do you determine how much food per week to use/eat? I assume all fruits and vegetables, in season, are OK. Its the other stuff I can’t figure out.
Are we allowed one loaf of bread a week? How many eggs? Ounces of meat? etc.
Sorry for all the questions! I’m just really excited to try my own 40s style cooking. If I tell my mother, I’m sure she’d think I flipped my lid š

Well done Carolyn, wish I had your tenacity!!! I’ll get there i guess. Making a concerted effort this week to start up again…Just wondering if you have OXO where you are, though now I think about it, it is a beef stock so you probably don’t use it. Do you have a vegetarian substitute? I just don’t like the texture of meat and the thought of it. I have however used OXO stock in cooking and have made some great veg stews with it and adding potato/cheese dumplings to stews makes them so hearty.

Keep going:it’s fresh weight so it should shift fairly easily. I’ve shed my Christmas weight now, plus a pound. It was quite easy once I started back at the gym.
