    I’m amazed by the amount of eggs the recipe calls for. I’m assuming it’s something you have to save up your rations for, if you really crave cheesecake 😂 Thanks for sharing! I have tons of old cookbooks but don’t have the energy to try them out, so this was great to watch 😊

      As this was is a US cookbook, they didn’t ration eggs during WW II. But there is a gentleman I know that wasn’t allowed serve in the military because his family had a chicken farm, and that was considered important work.
      My grandmother’s wartime job was working in a factory making the dried eggs that were used by the military and exported to the UK. I think it was her first job that wasn’t picking cotton.
