MR. AMBROSE HEATH in this collection of extracts from his
broadcast talks on the kitchen-front remarks that there are 0 -many things to enjoy when there is a war on, so we might as well enjoy our food, and he tells us, simply and entertainingly' of about two hundred ways of cooking our rationed and no rationed food. An important point in a blitz—all his reiPe.5 are prepared and cooked in a very short space of time. But tills book is not only a recipe book: it contains hints on how to cook an extremely good dinner under very difficult war-tinse conditions ; for instance, how to roast a joint and cook vegetables on one gas-ring with a low pressure of gas, fry fish or adieu without eggs, and he tells us of herbs to use as a substitute for, the rare onion and ways of drying and bottling vegetable as
how to use green tomatoes instead of letting them rot on the plants. There is an appendix on the building- and protective- foods.
