Prose: non-fiction, General cookery & recipes

Printed with a fantastic cover, BOMBERS AND MASH is a stunning collection of words, photographs, posters and recipes from the Second World War, this is a book about the women's war.

'Women of Britain, your country needs you!'

BOMBERS AND MASH tells the story of the Second World War on the domestic front. It takes us from the kitchen to the nursery showing how women managed without almost everything from potato peelers, cosmetics and prams to food, fuel, transport - and men. These women coped with rationing, evacuation, separation from families, long hours of work in factories, hospitals and on the land. Through it all they kept the nation fed on ingeniously nutritious and economical meals - hundreds of the best, and some of the worst, are included here.

In print for over thirty years, BOMBERS AND MASH is moving, fascinating and full of posters and images from the Second World War. It is both an illustrated social history and a cookery book offering a remarkable picture of the deprivation and drama of the women's war.
