From Amazon: Written to inspire courage in those daunted by wartimes shortages, How to Cook a Wolf continues to rally cooks during times of plenty, reminding them that providing sustenance requires more than putting food on the table. M. F. K. Fisher knew that the last thing hungry people needed were hints on cutting back and making do. Instead, she gives her readers license to dream, to experiment, to construct adventurous and delicious meals as a bulwark against a dreary, meager present. Her fine prose provides reason in itself to draw our chairs close to the hearth; we can still enjoy her company and her exhortations to celebrate life by eating well.

“When the wolf is at the door one should invite him in and have him for dinner.”
—MFK Fisher, How To Cook a Wolf
How to Cook a Wolf is a collection of essays focusing on frugality during difficult times. It was first published during World War II.
I'd love to hear what a young person would say about some of Fisher's suggestions. I imagine a young person would find them to be very extreme.
