This is a cookbook based on a style of Italian cuisine known as cucina povera. It also tells the story of how a northern Italian woman and a British serviceman met at the end of the Second World War, got married, and raised six children in England. The collection of 51 recipes reads like a culinary survival guide. Austerity is the key theme. Cook and eat well while saving a few pennies.
