SOLVED. WWII era cookbook featured on NPR a while a go. [s]

[Amy]

I had something jog my memory about a book I heard about probably 5ish? years ago on NPR, possibly on Splendid Table, possibly not. It was a review (and possible republishing) of a WWII era cookbook. The title involved the term "Mr. Fox" (I think). Because of the rationing and how hard it was to get ingredients, it was like "Mr. Fox" was stealing them. The cookbook included stuff about how to, for example, bake a cake with the fat collected after cooking bacon because lard wasnt available and how to mask the taste to make it palatable.

I know it is a long shot, but does anyone know the name of this cookbook?

Could you be thinking of How to Cook a Wolf?

The gist of it is: "when the wolf is at the door, roast and eat him."

That might be it.... sounds about right!

Amy, should we mark this as solved? If yes, we'll shelve it and move this thread to the Solved folder. Please let us know. We crave closure!

Yep! You can close it!
