Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War 2 saw rationing of food and other items in Britain. The war effort plus a blockade of imported food to Britain led to shortages. Many foods such as bananas were not available. Other basic foods - such as meat, sugar and eggs - were rationed. The rationing system insured everyone had enough to eat and a nutritious diet, but it led to a more blander diet with many familiar items not being available. Christmas, a time when more food than usual is consumed, suffered with traditional Christmas items such as turkey, chocolate and many alcoholic drinks unavailable. Instead people had to make to with alternative Christmas foods substituting foods such as vegetable or oatmeal for meat products.

Then things take an unexpected twist when she meets Francesca's brother, Giovanni Fabrino of the Royal Engineers. With the Christmas Eve deadline rapidly approaching, now would not be the best time to fall in love. But Gio keeps appearing, and their mutual attraction keeps growing.

Download or read book Manly Meals and Mom's Home Cooking written by Jessamyn Neuhaus and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2003-07-28 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the first edition of The Fannie Farmer Cookbook to the latest works by today's celebrity chefs, cookbooks reflect more than just passing culinary fads. As historical artifacts, they offer a unique perspective on the cultures that produced them. In Manly Meals and Mom's Home Cooking, Jessamyn Neuhaus offers a perceptive and piquant analysis of the tone and content of American cookbooks published between the 1790s and the 1960s, adroitly uncovering the cultural assumptions and anxieties—particularly about women and domesticity—they contain. Neuhaus's in-depth survey of these cookbooks questions the supposedly straightforward lessons about food preparation they imparted. While she finds that cookbooks aimed to make readers—mainly white, middle-class women—into effective, modern-age homemakers who saw joy, not drudgery, in their domestic tasks, she notes that the phenomenal popularity of Peg Bracken's 1960 cookbook, The I Hate to Cook Book, attests to the limitations of this kind of indoctrination. At the same time, she explores the proliferation of bachelor cookbooks aimed at "the man in the kitchen" and the biases they display about male and female abilities, tastes, and responsibilities. Neuhaus also addresses the impact of World War II rationing on homefront cuisine; the introduction of new culinary technologies, gourmet sensibilities, and ethnic foods into American kitchens; and developments in the cookbook industry since the 1960s. More than a history of the cookbook, Manly Meals and Mom's Home Cooking provides an absorbing and enlightening account of gender and food in modern America.
