The book was well written and organized with lots of photos and graphics. It gives great insight on the rationing and shortage of food during WWII in the UK. Despite the shortages and rationing, the daily diet was pretty healthy except for the low protein. Less meat, fat and sugar, more vegetables, grain and fish. I will use some of the ideas for ingredient substitutions in recipes. The cooks became very creative in “making do” with what they could get. Lots of lessons here on cooking healthy meals and not wasting food. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting look through food into a stressed nation *by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2014* If you're looking for information about daily life on the home front during World War II, this book provides quite a few insights. Recipes, old ads and "food facts" are abundant, along with some reminiscences. What emerges is a picture of a stubborn people, resistant to change but determined, proud...and quite able to see it through. Looking at a nation's eating habits (and the habits the nation's government is trying to instill) is a fascinating way to learn more about the people, the time and the country.I've not purchased or owned any previous works by Marguerite Patten, but for those who have, please keep in mind that this is a compendium of three of her previously published books.For those interested in curating libraries, please also note that this book is printed along the same lines as the spirit throughout the pages. "Mend and make do to save buying new" is a well known popular adage from the time; the book is printed most economically on wide pages with no margins, the print is close, the paper quality is akin to that of a strong fax paper, and the binding is paperback. This economy in no way detracts from the book, but if you're looking for a high quality, coffee table grade book, this will disappoint.For those just looking to immerse yourself in the time or gain a glimpse of life in Britain during the war years through the medium of food, this is a wonderful resource! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ History lovers need to buy this book *by L***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2017* Outstanding! So much information and so many wartime recipes packed in this book. I've read many of these type of books and this is the most informative. I have "Food Facts for the Kitchen Front", the one Ruth Mott used in her Wartime Kitchen and Garden series and thought it couldn't get any better. While I still love "Food Facts", "Victory Cookbook" has many more recipes and nostalgic photos . --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/69937333-victory-cookbook](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/69937333-victory-cookbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
