..more than just a recipe book with some real forgotten gems..... - By: Amazon Reviewer, 26 Oct 2007 
`In 1945, the Second World War was over at last, & so everyone joyously celebrated victory.
This book brings to a new generation over 200 of the recipes which helped the nation celebrate on that special day & right up to the end of rationing in 1954.
Among the types of celebrations included are family celebrations, neighbourhood celebrations, the Home Services, the Volunteer Services, official celebrations-how the cities celebrated, how workers in factories celebrated, celebrations in the country & by our Allies.
