Reviews

[CindyZCode3 · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is the most poorly written and edited book I have ever purchased! The book has no table of contents or glossary, and there is no organization to it. Most of the recipes are missing key measurements or steps in the cooking processes. The ingredients and portions used are NOT of the “Great Depression Era”, but more appropriate to the later 1940s or 1950s. The pictures are very blurry black and white snapshots of random items and not related to recipes or the depression. :(
