Does anyone have any recipes from this era (U.S. or other cuisines..) or
can you recommend a good WWW or hard copy source for them?

TIA, Roving Mouse..

You might also look into recipes from the South after the Civil War. My mother
mentioned hearing stories about how all the crops had been burned and livestock
killed during the war. That was probably worse than the depression.

I think that may be the period where Mulligan Stew originated. If I have my
story right, it was a concoction with anything they could get their hands on,
including rabbits or squirrels!

Popcorn with milk for breakfast. The milk goes on the popcorn like cereal.
My grandmother complained about being fed that for breakfast durring the
Depression.

Personally, I'd haunt antiques/junk shops for cookbooks of the period and
the discount bins at bookstores for reprints/compilations of the CB's if I
had any interest in recreating foods from a dark period in 20th century
culinary history.

Look for the following book:

Coupon Cookery - By Prudence Penny - It's a fun read.

Dimitri

The US Department of Agriculture and the home economist at the North Dakota
Mill and Elevator offered recipe suggestions in "ration point cookery" and
"Victory Garden dining." Among the recommendations were "Yankee Doodle Prune
Pie in Victory Pie Crust" in which neither sugar nor butter was used and
"Stand Up and Cheer Hamburger Dinner" which through creative culinary
endeavor a pound of hamburger could feed a family of six. Prudence Penny in
her Coupon Cookery preached the use of chicken for nutritious eating:
"If you've spent all your meat stamps
and haven't any more
Eating chicken is a pleasant way
to help to win the war."

The push on the home front was, as Prudence Penny so eloquently stated, "to
help win the war." The government wanted to channel civilian energies into
useful tasks, to involve as many people as possible in the effort to beat
the Axis powers.
