Does anyone have an really old WW receipes?

Sorry about the awful typos in the heading!

I think it might have been in this book

I used to have an old book of WW2 recipes but it got lost in one of our many moves.
I remember 2 recipes, both using black treacle. I think there was a sugar shortage but for some reason you could still get syrup and treacle.
One was sliced baby turnips cooked with treacle. The other baked beans cooked with treacle. both very tasty.
My Gran used to serve yorkshire puddings with syrup.

I read the title as meaning World War recipes, then realised it was Weight Watchers.

Think Marmite did the same!

Sorry! I mean do Weight Watchers

I read the title as "Women's Weekly" recipes. Maybe it's best to write the titles in full - there's more chance of people knowing what is being asked and getting involved!

I was thinking World War, too. I thought I could add an interesting slant by copying out some of my mother-in-law's recipes from wartime Germany, which I can't bear to throw out, even though they are in faded pencil on mouse-chewed scraps of paper in Süterlin script which I would have to ask my DH to decipher.

Oh JackyB that sounds really interesting - can you tell us more? Maybe on a seperate thread? Thank you

Yes it would make an interesting thread. For those of us who are 'really old'.
My husband often says that I'm obsessed with WW2 - probably true.

Was it a pasta dish or a risotto Flaxseed? There are quite a few recipes containing leeks and prawns on the Weight Watchers website.

Me too and was thinking of things like bread pudding and Woolton pie.
Lack of butter and lack of food in general probably kept weight down as well as more exercise as no-one had cars.

Oh dear, bad timing Flaxseed - I had a big box file full of WW recipes and threw them all away last week as I'm starting a clearout (cringe).
I'll have a look to see if I have a cookery book anywhere.

Prawn and leek risotto:

There are lots of recipes online

blossoming neither pasta nor risotto but thank you.

Thanks, but not the recipe I am after.
I am hoping someone might have the original book that I posted a photo of.

I have looked for hours online but can’t find it

Another who thought WW meant 'World War'

I have a book full of World War recipes. I was ready to be helpful?

This book can be bought on eBay not very expensive

calypso I’m not 100% sure it it that book which is why I was hoping someone might still have it.

I'll have another search but it might be tomorrow.

All recipes leaflets may have been recycled by now though.

What about the Christmas chocolates that needed tidying up? Would they work?

Wrong thread - what happened there?
