I re-read this book a couple of weeks ago, and whilst I found it interesting I do not think that I need to keep it. It goes over so much of what I already know from my other books and most of the recipes in it have been lifted from other WWII cook books that I have on my shelves.
It is one woman's account of her and her husbands week living on rations, with the shopping list that they used and the recipes they followed. There is also a chapter at the back including some Christmas recipes.
After reading it for the second time I don't really feel the need to keep it on my shelf, and giving this away will give me just a little bit more space on my main 'rationing book' shelf ... meaning that I will be able to slide the others out without having a tug of war every time. 😄
If you would like to be in with a chance of having it for yourself and you are a Follower of this blog, just leave a comment below and I will do a mini draw if there is more than one person interested.

Oooooh ! Count me in please. I have a small collection and find them so interesting and have tried quite a few recipes so far but the golden syrup cake has been my only fail -- not good x
ReplyDeleteI would be interested in this book please. I'm slowly building up a collection of recipe books using rations and watching lots of videos on YouTube.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to be in the draw please Sue. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this one so yes please I would like to be in the draw. I'm not doing full time rationing but trying out as many recipes as I can in readiness, just so I know what works for me and I don't waste food on what doesn't.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds a a good beginners book, I’d love to read it. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am researching rationing here in Canada. Not much has been found yet, so I will do a deep dive over the coming weeks. Hope whoever wins enjoys the book.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Yes, please, it looks really interesting. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. The draw is now closed.
ReplyDeleteWhen Alan phones later I will ask him for a number from 1 - 6 and that will decide the winner.
So I asked Alan to chose a number from 1 - 6 and his reply was ... 'No-one ever chooses number one, so I choose number one.' ... Chrissie your book is on it's way. :-)
