THE QUESTION OF THE MOMENT

WAR RATION COOKERY

(THE EAT-LESS-MEAT BOOK)

By Mrs. C. S. PEEL

The Director of Women's Service, Ministry of Food.
(Second Edition.) Crown 8vo. 2/6 net.

"Mrs. Peel is universally recognized as the soundest and most sensible authority upon middle-class housekeeping; she knows her subject inside out, she has no fads, and she writes with great vivacity and verve. She is just the person whose advice the small householder needs at the present time, and this practical and business-like handbook is nothing less than a public service of the highest quality. It ought to be on every kitchen shelf throughout the length and breadth of the country.... Indeed, the whole volume is invaluable, and we commend it without reserve to every class of the loyal-hearted public."—Daily Telegraph.

"Mrs. Peel's book is eminently practical. It puts in an intelligible way the problem of war-ration housekeeping."—Land and Water.

"The book gives excellent hints as to the cooking of our war-time rations. In addition to a quantity of recipes, Mrs. Peel has advice to give on food values."—Spectator.
