During both World Wars, food and supplies were scarce. Karla, one of the main characters in the novel The Electrician and the Seamstress had to use whatever she could find to feed her family. Her husband, Bruno, often had to rely on the black market to find ingredients. It was a dangerous but necessary task to feed his family. These muffins are versatile allowing you to mix different types of fruits or nuts depending on what you have on hand. Karla was able to harvest figs and apples from Bruno’s family farm. Author's Note

Cottage cheese has become popular on social media. It was a good protein alternative to feeding people during World War I but didn’t become popular in Germany until after World War II. The novel, The Electrician and the Seamstress took place during the rise of the Nazis. The post-war era saw significant advancements in the food processing and packaging industry, which greatly facilitated the production and distribution of cottage cheese. Infrastructure and manufacturing improvements helped facilitate packaged food. Government policies and regulations supported dairy farming and ensured food safety, further promoting the availability of cottage cheese. These combined factors led to the widespread adoption and popularity of cottage cheese in the post-war period. I added Cottage Cheese to the recipe to boost protein. Overview of Recipe
