Good morning! It’s 6 am and before I’ve had my morning coffee I thought I MUST add this post and share with you a free download of a 1942 cook book issued by the Board of Education and published by H.M Stationary Office and sold for 3D.
You can DOWNLOAD THE FULL COOK BOOK HERE!

My plans for the day are:
- Finish cleaning the kitchen (I did half of it yesterday, I’m just getting over Covid and still a bit exhausted)
- Never ending laundry!
- Scan in another pamphlet from my donated WW2 recipes collection from Newquay Zoo
- Make and film a 1945 Christmas Cake Recipe. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel here.

Have a wonderful day!

Many thanks Carolyn- just what I need atm! May your total recovery be swift!
Thank you, am much better now, thanks so much xxxx
Thank you so much for the cookbook.
You are welcome! I have literally loads more to share, it will take me years!!! xxxx
Thanks for posting this. Most have forgotten how to mend and make do. Without your site, this type of cooking will eventually be lost in history.
Hope you have a speedy recovery.
I think it’s important to share anything we come across from our history with others, you are so right, things can easily become lost forever xxxx
Many thanks for sharing this file! My son is studying WWII right now and this will be a great addition to his learning.
Aww that’s GREAT! I have a fabulous donated picture book cookbook I will try and scan in next and share, he’d love that!!! xxxx
Great book! Thank you, again, for taking the time to scan these!
