Published to tie in with a BBC2 series and an Imperial War Museum exhibition, this book takes readers back to the days when Hitlers Uboats patrolled the Atlantic, and imported foods were scarce. For the men, woman and children left behind during World War II, life changed dramatically. People who had never gardened before had to start growing their own fruit and vegetables, housewives had to cope with rationing, and their families had to get used to unfamiliar foods such as spam and nettle soup. The book includes the personal memories of Ruth Mott and Harry Dodson (televisions Victorian cook and gardener, respectively), as well as tales and anecdotes from many people who remember wartime cookery and digging for victory.

I really like the illustrations in 'The Wartime Kitchen and Garden.' They add a lovely touch to the historical context. The gardening tips are helpful, though I wish the book had more modern adaptations of the recipes.

Perfect for a bit of history!
I bought 'The Wartime Kitchen and Garden' as a gift for my grandmother, and she loves it. The recipes are charming and really take you back to simpler times. It's not just about cooking; it also has tips on growing your own veggies, which she's been enjoying!

Great for food history fans!
Absolutely love this book! 'The Wartime Kitchen and Garden' has some amazing insights into how people managed with limited resources during the war. The recipes are simple but delicious, and it has inspired me to plant my own garden!

Not for everyone
I was expecting more practical recipes from this book. The concept is interesting, but some of the ingredients are hard to find these days. It’s great as a collector's item, but I’m not sure I’ll be using it often.

Interesting read, but a bit niche
This book is quite fascinating if you’re into WWII history. I appreciated the unique perspective on wartime cooking and gardening. However, some recipes might be a bit hard to appreciate unless you're really into that time period. Worth a look if you are!
