In 1945 the Ministry of Food published The ABC of Cookery. In addition to instructions on how to bake, poach, souse and stew, a really useful part of this book is the chapter that deals with cooking utensils and the purchase and storage of food. Click on the albums below to view advice on the choice and care of cooking utensils as well as tips on shopping and the storage of supplies.
Copies of The ABC of Cookery can be purchased from the Museum Shop.
