This was my 44th book finished in 2024.
I'll admit, I liked it more than I thought I would, as this is not an era I usually take interest in. Although it seems like an oddly specific topic for one of the earliest HH books, especially seeing as another book about WWII was released a few years later.
I actually found a lot of it interesting, but some sections were really drawn out, especially towards the end.
A side note: The recipes had the measurements all wrong - since when was half a pint 800ml? And when was 1 tsp equal to 15g, but 2 tsp is only 5g?
