## Description

Buy 70s Dinner Party: The Good, the Bad and the Downright Ugly of Retro Food by Pallai, Anna (ISBN: 9781910931387) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Highly entertaining and absorbing - This is a wonderful book, perfect as a gift, or for one's own amusement. It's absolutely fascinating seeing photographs of these crazy 1970s creations, and the fact that these images are actually from that era gives them a dated look, with garish colours exacerbating the ridicule. There are actually some dishes which sound reasonable to prepare and eat (though it's not a recipe book) - so in a sense there is an additional element to it. Every dish has an amusing summary text, and in my case the recipient of the gift laughed heartily through the whole book. Very nicely done, and highly entertaining!
Review: Back to the 70's - As a child of the 70's this book took me back to it. Watching my Mum make some of the most strange and unusual foods not only for family gatherings but for my birthday parties, yes I always got the cheese and pineapple hedgehog but also the lemon pigs surround by different shaped paste sandwiches, strange jelly creations that could give you nightmares. My mum still had all her old recipe books, Supercook Magazine until very recently. This book is great for anyone who grew up watching Fanny Cradock and the Galloping Gourmet and remembers a time when food was not for eating but for looking at and wondering what on earth it was!
