The Kitchen Front

"The Kitchen Front" was my first Jennifer Ryan book. I enjoyed her writing a great deal. WW2 Historical Fiction is one of my favorite genres. This novel is different than any that I have read to date. The story revolves around a BBC-offered cookery contest, where four women compete to become co-anchors of a radio program focused on cooking with rations. Cooking is NOT one of my genres of choice, but it proved to be the perfect context for learning about life on the homefront in Britain during the war. I give the book 4.5 stars. I purchased the ebook to see the recipes and followed along some, but for the most part, I listened. Jasmine Blackborow does a wonderful job of narrating. I would choose books based solely on this narrator. She made it a delightful experience.
