Part 3/8:
Betty Crocker's cookbook, Your Share - How to prepare appetizing, healthful meals with foods available today, published in 1943, epitomized the home front's struggle and resilience. The cookbook provided guidance on stretching limited rations effectively. The emergency steak recipe, for instance, cleverly substitutes conventional cuts of beef with affordable ground meat, reducing ration points expenditure while still attempting to satisfy the craving for a hearty meal.
