3 Dinners for Beginners

Title
3 Dinners for Beginners
Description
One of three leaflets from a series of guides produced by the Ministry of Food during and after the Second World War. The leaflets offered advice on healthy eating and nutrition, cooking for oneself, frugal approaches to meal preparation, and a wide range of information related to food supply and rationing. This leaflet provides three two‑course meals for novice cooks, with dishes including mince with boiled jacket potatoes and cabbage, and semolina pudding with jam. It also suggests a timed method to ensure each meal is on the table by 1 pm.
