Depression Cooking

I saw this feature a few weeks ago and found it quite amazing. Depression cooking, it seems is a hot topic right now. The economy tanking means that people need to look for alternatives for food and shelter at an alarming rate. Maybe it is time to look to our elders for strength.

Some of them, the generation who lived through the Great Depression, may be able to bring some insight to better living in these tough times. Please note: It completely freaked me out how quick Clara was dicing the potato and onion!! Speaking of that, most of these recipes use potato and onions-a staple of depression cooking.
