Bombers and mash

the long version

"Bombers & Mash tells the story of the Second World War on the domestic front. It takes us from the ktichen to the nursery, showing how women managed without almost everything from potato peelers, cosmetics and prams to food, fuel, transport - to 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 included." --Back cover.
