WAR KITCHENS IN
LONDON PROVIDING
GOOD MEALS CHEAP

An EXPERIMENT with communal kite
chens to provide cheap and econom-
ical meals for workers in war time
has met with immediate and very real
success in London.
In each district where there are
many poor people a general commit
tee is set up to control the Kitchens.
lSchoolrooms and other buildings with
small kitchen accommodation attached
are adapted as communal kitchens
at an expense of $190 or $3.50 each.
At first the idea was to have a CEN
trail kitchen for the preparation Of
food, but the difficulties of providing
transport and the additional expense
of relocating the food caused this to
be abandoned.
There is a buyer for all the kitch-
ems, and a central store from which
the kitchens are served. The store-5
keeper keeps a record of what each
kitchen has and how many meals are
served from 1t.
There is a kitchen supervisor.
trained in the values Of food, to work
flor each kitchen for a week after its
opening to train the local cook, and
this supervisor later visits each kit
chen as often as possible.
The accounts of each kitchen
prices, menus. useful substitutes for
|foodstuffs, are considered by the exc.
cutive committee at weekly meetings.
The menu includes soup and bread.
suet pudding, with jam or treac1e,
rice pudding, meat and vegetable
buildings, stews and pease pudding
and the prices vary from to cents.
The purpose of these communal
kitchens is to provide better and
cheaper food for war workers and
their children, to economic In food
and to spread knowledge OF new
foods and the way to prepare therns
They are being instituted as war
time measure. but already the lead-
ers of the movement are shaping
plans to give them a permanent char

lions, and especially in the direction
