About the Thrifty Kitchen
70 years on from the start of the Second World War, we find ourselves in the midst of an economic downturn. While the situation now cannot be compared to that of wartime rationing, many of us find ourselves tightening our belts and thinking more carefully about what goes into our shopping baskets.
The Thrifty Kitchen is a cookery book from older people's charity Independent Age, which shows that you can successfully apply the principles of wartime cookery to create dishes that will delight the modern palate.
The Thrifty Kitchen is about cooking in a modern context, using modern ingredients, but applying the basic
principles of the wartime cook:
- Shop sensibly and seasonally
- Experiment with cheaper cuts of meat
- Don't be wasteful and make the most of leftovers
