Written in the midst of World War I, The Book of Corn Cookery was one woman’s patriotic attempt to aid in the war effort. Mary Wade enlisted the help of American women to turn to corn recipes to feed their families efficiently and inexpensively while conserving wheat for the troops. She firmly believed that food supply could “turn the tide of war quite as much as ammunition.” The result of her passion is this book, reproduced here for cooks of the 21st century to enjoy more than 150 corn recipes that provide healthy and economical meals—a quest for every generation.
