The WI cookbook : the first 100 years

The WI cookbook : the first 100 years

As the Women's Institute turns 100, this book, curated by food journalist Mary Gwynn, brings together the 100 best loved members' recipes nationwide. Organised decade by decade, and setting each recipe in its historical and social context, it spans everything from jams and preserves to main courses, puddings and bakes. Nostalgic favourites feature alongside contemporary hits. Here are recipes created during the war to make the most of limited supplies and ideas to overcome the challenges of food rationing to current day recipes and finally the WI's own signature cake: The Centenary Fruit Cake from North Yorkshire.
