Books, like this one, contain great lessons on how people made it through the Great Depression. Recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really basic recipes *by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2021* First thing I noticed was how there was no table of contents or appendix. It makes it more challenging to find the right recipe. However the book is really thin so skimming through it doesn't take very long. This would be okay for someone just starting out. However, it might be nice for a college student or someone moving out for the first time. ### ⭐⭐ ... was trying to find something similar to "Clara's Kitchen"--a GREAT memoir and recipe book that I re-read every few ... *by B***M on Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2017* I came across this book when I was trying to find something similar to "Clara's Kitchen"--a GREAT memoir and recipe book that I re-read every few months and often cook from. This book came up as a "similar item". But it's not at all similar. It's almost funny--not only do I have ONE copy of this book, but because of a wish-list error, I ended up with TWO copies. Not at all what I expected--as others have mentioned, very poorly edited and organized. It is a short (95 page) volume with a rambling narrative and vague hints of recipes here and there. Some are more complete than others, but in the "Homemade Desserts" chapter, this is the drive-by allusion you get to cookies (punctuated exactly like this): "Basic cookie baking. Dropped cookies bake at 350 to 400 for about 10 minutes". Not a terribly helpful recipe for cookies there---Or Meatloaf: "Mix your meat, about four pounds of hamburger with three pieces of bread not toasted, crumbled, three eggs, one onion chopped, and shaped into a loaf and put in oven. On top of this, pour tomato catsup and smooth out with knife. May cover with aluminum foil and bake."Some of the recipes are lists of items with or without amounts, some are in paragraph forms with scanty directions. If it had been edited well, it could have been a charming, conversational tone, but it's so random that it lacks any kind of flow. I am going to re-read the book to see if there is anything that I can glean from it, but for the most part, I think BOTH copies are going to go straight to the thrift store as a donation. Very disappointed.I highly recommend "Clara's Kitchen" by Clara Cannucciari. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/7837529-hard-times-cookbook-with-back-to-basics-great-depression-cooking](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/7837529-hard-times-cookbook-with-back-to-basics-great-depression-cooking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
