Recipes for Victory: Great War Food from the Front and Kitchens Back Home in Canada (Paperback)
Elizabeth Baird and Bridget Wranich have created an absorbing history of wartime meals, both in the military -- on the front, in the trenches, and at the command posts -- and at home. Lavishly illustrated, and accompanied by over 70 recipes, the text explores a wide range of topics, including the Ontario Farm Service Corps (and the Farmerettes); the creation of Butter Tarts; Cookbooks of World War One; Food Manufacturing; Booze; Food propaganda; Women's Institutes; Food labeling; and Government regulation.
Research and testing by the Volunteer Cooks at Fort York.
