This curated blog is devoted to discovering “how-to” ideas, recipes and other helpful tips from civilian women of the World War 2 era with its years of intense need and community spirit.
My recipes and instructions have been updated to work better with the modern palette and preferences, but they still maintain the spirit of the Second World War era—economical, practical and helpful.
I hope you will be inspired by these glimpses into the world of the 1940s, with its marvelous women who kept things running smoothly on the home front and overcame to achieve Victory. Enjoy!
