Marguerite Patten explains the oven temperatures in the beginning of her book "Victory Cookbook". Moderate is a standard 350 degrees. It's usually a pretty safe temp to use to bake when in doubt.
Yes my go to temp!
Also, there were many families, particularly rural, that used wood and coal stoves. My grandmother just new when the oven was up to the proper temperature. She would put a little twist of pastry in sometimes. Farm women had to cook large meals during harvest time with extra people coming through on thrashing crew. As they moved from farm to farm, extra women would also help out. Older school kids were let out to help with the harvest.
Keep the rationing recepes coming...one never knows.....
🙂
Future sight, is that your superpower?
I am a fan of the great days of yester year, thus your channel fascinates me. New subscriber. I love the background vintage music, nice touch.
"Potato Pete" was a big government promotion in WWII England. That might be an explanation for the tuber being ubiquitous.
Love this x
I've begun making my own oatmilk.
Dead simple.
1 cup of old fashioned rolled oats..4 cups chilled water.
1 pinch kosher salt.
Add the ingredients into your blender and blend for 20 to 30 seconds.
Using chilled water reduces slimey-ness..
Strain, bottle, refrigerate.
Shake well before using.
Some recipes call for soaking the oats for a half hour and then rinsing. This removes phytates that inhibit nutrient absorbtion.
Yes I thought using chilled water would work better.
Wow you have beautiful eyes!
I love learning old vintage recipes :)
Thank you so much for this from NY.
totally love your channel well done cheers from western Canada
We grow a ton of spuds each year and growing and processing your own flour is out of the question.
Thanks for the vid. I loved it!!!!
Please come back and cook for us again#
Thank you...I love it❤ -From the Philippines🎉
Just found you lol! Already LIVING THE WARTIME DREAM AND LIFESTYLE XXX Growing Veggies too x
Would love to see more of these kinds of recipes more plz👍😁😋
The potato scones look delicious
For all of us who love old recipes, making an oven temperature chart as well as a standard measurement chart and 5ape it to the inside of a cupboard door. “ Butter the size of a walnut and a gill of something “ then is as easy as opening the door. Excellent video.
By the thumbnail I thought that was a sandwich with homemade bread and some kind of homemade spread. Everything looks good though. Potatoes look devine! And potatoes are cheap!
Yes yes yes please do more videos like this!
Oat water, and similar, is precisely why I'm prepped for shortages.
Definitely have a surplus of potato all the time. We have all kinds, so I’m interested any of these revival dishes and more! Will subscribe for more.
So creative! Yes I did have a surplus of potatoes and I forgot about them. Had to chuck them out :( But now I will know what to do next time! ;)
Amazing video thanks x
More recipes please! However I can not tell asking if people had a surplus of potatoes was a joke or not. During the war especially, potatoes were thankfully plentiful and was eaten quite often. It was recommended one pound of potatoes per person per day and the British health excelled because of the rationing.
What a lovely meal!
When you said Mock Goose, I thought you said mongoose! I was like, “That’s a meat! A bit of an unusual meat but get your protein where you can!”
Great video! I love wartime and depression era cook books. Very relevant today, as we are experiencing worldwide food shortages. Keep safe and healthy!
‘Moderate oven’ ~ a made up temperature! 😂 that is so ruddy true! Great video’ thanks for a great video! I’m a huge fan of living on rations and ww2 cooking!
A nut milk bag is one of the most handy things I have ever bought.
Great recipe
Ty for sharing. Do you have a recipe for shepherd's pie made with potatoes and vegetables?
thanks for the oat milk reccipe
These videos are superb, thanks for the content
Those recipes actually looked amazing! First time I've seen your videos. Time to binge watch!
I made the tattie scones this morning for breakfast and they were top notch! Especially appreciated as we couldn’t find any in the supermarket the other day. More ration book recipes please!
Very interesting !
Ingenious - looks quite good too. I'll definitely try these recipes.
Cant wait to try these thank you
Lovely recipes! And I'd love to see all the potato recipes, I can often buy about 50 lbs cheap locally and I love the versatility
I’ve just come across your channel and realised the potato cakes were very similar to some potato pancakes I made with corn kernels in them. So simple but so good. Great video thanks :)
Definitely like to see more rationing videos on food!
What an awesome video. love your humour too.
Oh my god, someone else who likes potatoes as much as I do. Please please post all the potato recipes. Have you seen the cook book by Jenny Stacey called What’s Cooking Potatoes? It is 254 pages of potato everything! Now off to go look at your other videos. So glad I found you!
This is absolutely brilliant.
The potato scones look kinda like arepas. Throw some queso Blanco on top and melt in a broiler.
I had the same thought! God I miss my mother’s cooking.
We love lentil Cumberland pie.
I enjoy reading and occasionally trying wartime cookbooks recipes, too, at any time. So interesting.
For the red lentil "mock goose," you can also simply eat it as is once it's cooked instead of baking it as well. It's essentially an old Middle Eastern recipe eaten either packed into a pie dish, garnished with chopped parsley, and cut into wedges, or made into individual fist-sized ovals, sort of like burgers. The Middle Eastern version also uses fine cracked wheat instead of white bread crumbs, so it's much more nutritious!
I thought it was so funny to see a similar recipe in a wartime cookbook as "mock meatloaf"! No need to disguise good old lentils. :)
Great video 👍😁
Subscribed to watch more war/ food shortage recipes
Haha I love this channel already a pretty lass with the mouth as foul as the sewers 💜
This a amazing video
Everything there is to know about the potato business
Moderate oven is around 170_ 180oC
thanks
Are you using English milk bottles 20oz or American 16oz? Thanks
"Haha. Cooking with food shortages? Why should I watch that..." was what I first thought when I got this in my recommended ... but ... the algorithm probably knows my future better than I do :P
Guess there goes the next few hours of my life. Well spent :D
Nice
It all looks pretty good. Tfs.
How many servings did the mock goose and scones make?
Can I put cheese in the scones?
My dad had them as a boy he said they are a good bread or dumpling replacement
The Pythonesque appearance of Sophie- and then the 'monster in the attic' incoherent yelling in approval of scones at the end -are a hilarious icing on this marvellous video cake.
Also now I want hot buttered scones... Is there a rationing recipe for making buttered potato scones without potatoes or butter? I might not have any flour either... I look forward to a timely new video explaining how to make them.
Oh yeah..... Potato playlist!!
I love it! Do it!
You never said what the mock turkey was like! Is it nice?
I have a surplus of potatoes. I had the option in the shop of teeny bag, normal size you need bag, and massive fuck off will probably grow legs and wander off before you eat it size bag. Obviously I chose the last one. More potato things!
Oh GREAT news, this is just the feedback I wanted! Pls await an entire menu of potato soup, potato pie in potato pastry, potato scones, potato CHOCOLATE SPREAD YEP THAT'S A REAL ONE, potato cake, potato-based mayonnaise, potato salad with potato-based salad dressing, and potato shortbread.
@@ohpapillon Oh wow, I need that chocolate spread one. I already have two types of chocolate spread in my cupboard and I still need the potato one
@@ohpapillon Plus all the other stuff you said sounds great too
What are the titles of books do you use?
Most of these are reproductions of original UK government recipe booklets, so it's hard to say exactly! I do use 'Ration Book Cookery: Recipes and History' by Gill Corbishley, but otherwise it's Ministry of Food pamphlets such as 'War Time Cookery to Save Fuel and Food Value' and lots of stuff with similar names. If you're interested, 'Eating For Victory: Healthy Home Front Cooking on War Rations' by Jill Norman is basically a digitised collection of loads of those MoF recipe pamphlets (and is only 99p for Kindle!) but I have a few reproduction hard copies.
Why wouldn't you use poultry seasoning in mock poultry? It would even smell like poultry.
Dangbutifulhowaboutperiod dress
Tea with milk is disgusting.
Beautiful and interesting but please don't use words like "shit". That's not so classy.
Hey, thank you! These are videos that I make by myself for fun and I don't make any sort of money or profit from them, so given that they're just a labour of love, I'm not going to moderate my language. It's fine if you don't want to watch videos with cursing, but these videos are specifically marked as not child-friendly and beyond that, it's up to the viewer to decide whether they want to watch them or not. If it's not for you, that's fine, but it is how I talk and that's not going to change (I'm also not very worried about being classy, to be honest).
