About this ebook
Times are hard economically
With an on-going economic downturn currently continuing to trouble many lives, these times are being compared to The Great Depression, one of the most severe economic times recorded.
Many people feel the world as a whole is struggling with all of these issues today. These are tough times. Unemployment still stays at a level where many millions are unemployed.
There has been an increase in the number of people who through no fault of their own, have sunk down to the poverty level of living. The number of people going hungry without reassurance they can eat, that to, is climbing.
I hope that all of this and the other unstable economic factors don't continue to lead to another Great Depression, but I believe it is better to be safe, than sorry.
This cookbook is designed to help people who are scaling down their budget for any reason, and yet want to continue to adequately feed themselves and their family.
This book is written and shared with love. Hope it helps, and will be a benefit to people who cook out of necessity and love for those who they serve.

About the Author: Anna Patterson grew up in the Ozark Hills with a dream of becoming an archeologist. She was able as a young adult to put the desire to good use exploring the mountains and river line of the Ozarks for early artifacts from the past. Many times in her treks deep into the wilderness forests, she was able to seek out and see first hand abandoned cemeteries of pioneers and Indians there and Ghost towns which had been abandoned during an earlier time. But it was her desire to know more about the early civilizations which resulted in her entering into her studies in history, art, and especially ancient civilizations in college. Her life as a writer brought her to many years of work in Journalism from college papers to work as a reporter and at one point Society Editor. She is now pursuing her desire to write fiction novels and feels that this allows her to put to use her life’s study of antiquities. She and her husband live in a house over 100 years old with their two Yorkies and two cats.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The recipes were good but tons of grammar and spelling mistakes not corrected, looks like a draft rather than final product. Some of the recipes were missing how long to cook or cut off suddenly mid sentence. I enjoyed the content and plan to try some recipes.

BACK TO BASICS: COOKING FOR THE GREAT DEPRESSION
Cookbook for people who have to pinch pennies
By Romance Novelist Anna Patterson
The Great Depression, along about 1929, the global world had problems which escalated into something called by this name. It was such a huge economic crisis that the world will never forget it.
Quite simply, many people suffered in severe economic times. This means for many homelessness, extreme starving, and a depressed life style which was caused by unemployment.
Many people feel the world as a whole is struggling with all of these issues today. These are tough times. Unemployment still stays at a level where many millions are unemployed.
There has been an increase in the number of people who through no fault of their own, have sunk down to the poverty level of living. The number of people going hungry without reassurance they can eat, that to, is climbing.
I hope that all of this and the other unstable economic factors don't continue to lead to another Great Depression, but I believe it is better to be safe, than sorry.
This cookbook is designed to help people who are scaling down their budget for any reason, and yet want to continue to adequately feed themselves and their family.
This book is written and shared with love. Hope it helps, and will be a benefit to people who cook out of necessity and love for those who they serve.
