A quick touch in today! I’ve had a very busy day with lots of typing involved and trying not to get too distracted! I’m having such a great time discovering old WW2 recipes and am trying to decide what recipes to re-create for the cookbook!
I came across this so thought I would share it. This cookery booklet was published by the Self Help Co-Op grocery group to assist people to produce good food during wartime rationing. (New Zealand, 1942).

Much love to all, C xxxx

Wow what a treasure trove that booklet is! I’m guessing it’s American as everything is measured by cups..not something the British did back in the day. Thank you for that Carolyn, you are such a generous soul. June
It’s fab! The booklet was actually published in 1942 in New Zealand! Honestly it’s the first bit of NZ war time recipes booklet I have come across! Xxxx
