Travel back to the early 1940s for a peek inside the pantries, cupboards, recipe books, dinner tables, and lunch boxes of the WWII home front.
While our Armed Forces fought the Axis of Evil overseas, women were fighting the war from their kitchens and factory floors. “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without” was a rallying cry for those who met the challenge of food rationing rules and were limited to what was available at the butcher’s shop or growing in their Victory Gardens. Kitchen grease and scrap aluminum needed to be salvaged to make ammunition. Food waste of any kind was unpatriotic. Travel back with Becky Brillon to the early 1940s for a peek inside the pantries, cupboards, recipe books, dinner tables, and lunch boxes of the WWII home front.
Becky Brillon is an avid WWII Home Front historian, educator, and vintage foodie. She shares her adventures in rescuing and researching old stuff online and on social media as The War In My Kitchen.
