Everyday cooking from the Depression era

With more than 450 recipes, this collection documents a practical, back-to-basics approach to cooking associated with the Depression era, using ingredients described as common to most kitchens. Recipes sit alongside household hints, weights and measures, and a spice guide, making the book as much a record of domestic know-how as a recipe collection. Nostalgic photographs and illustrations, brief notes on positive aspects of life in the 1930s, and period poetry add historical context to the cooking material.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home cooks interested in historic recipes and everyday foodways
  • Readers seeking a large collection of simple recipes using familiar kitchen ingredients
  • Those interested in Depression-era domestic life and household reference material
