    Default Wartime lessons for the credit crunch

    As Jamie Oliver calls for a return to a wartime diet, a new book documenting how ordinary families survived the austerity of World War II provides some useful lessons in belt tightening.

    Get a pint of milk and half a teaspoon of salt, put them in a pan and bring to the boil. Add three tablespoons of corn flour, mix to a paste and boil again until stiff.

    Nella Last's recipe for home-made margarine might not get people's taste buds salivating these days but in 1943 it was considered "amazingly good", according to her diary.
