Jill Norman

    1 gennaio 1940

    Questa autrice è un'autorità di spicco in materia di erbe e spezie, che ha plasmato la letteratura culinaria a metà del XX secolo. La sua influenza è evidente in una rinomata collana di libri di cucina da lei curata, che ha portato alla ribalta molti autori di prima classe. In qualità di fiduciaria letteraria di un celebre patrimonio e collaboratrice di lunga data, ha contribuito a preservare un significativo lascito. I suoi riconoscimenti personali nel settore sottolineano la sua profonda conoscenza e il suo approccio appassionato all'arte culinaria.

      Keeping Family and Home Afloat on War Rations

      With the nation's industrial output concentrated on the war effort and a clothes ration in place by June 1940, basic clothes were in short supply in wartime England and high fashion was an unknown commodity. Adults were issued as little as 36 coupons a year to spend on clothes, but a man's suit could cost 22 coupons, a coat 16, and a lady's dress 11. The need to recycle and be inventive with other materials became more and more necessary, and so the government issued a series of leaflets containing advice on how to make fabric and clothing go the extra mile. Reproduced in this intriguing collection, these pamphlets included tips on recycling curtains into dresses and instructions for turning old sheets into underwear. Covering darning, patching, knitting, and more, this is a nostalgic look at the innovative thriftiness of the 1940s.
