Though it contains nearly 250 frugally delicious, food conserving recipes, Foods That Will Win the War and How to Cook Them is far more than a mere cookbook. At once educational and deeply inspiring, this World War One classic reveals the terrible human cost of wasting food, the power that lies in the hands of every family to make a real difference during times of world food crisis (such as we face today), and the practical steps even the humblest cook or family food budgeter can take to ensure the long-term food security of his or her own family, of our nation, and of the world all families share. Illustrated with vintage WWI era United States Food Administration food conservation posters, Foods That Will Win the War and How to Cook Them provides as much satisfaction to the eye as it is does to the conscience and the palate.
