Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a riveting account of how to make wartime bread based on grain chemistry and the nutritional needs of people during the first World War. The author, a specialist in nutritional chemistry, uses his knowledge to explore and present the history of food and its preparation during the first World War, specifically the Allied Forces' reliance on the United States for sustenance. To support the war effort, America needed to substantially increase its production of wheat while also supplying the Allies with vast quantities of grain. By exploring the properties of wheat and grains that functioned similarly, food scientists were able to devise a nutritious and filling bread that contained 30% other grains and starches. These findings have had a long-lasting positive effect on the many cultures that were affected by food shortages and rationing during the first World War.
