Step back in time with Classic Retro Recipes. Filled with wonderful retro dishes, this book has everything you need to cater for all vintage occasions.

Nostalgia and home entertaining have never been more popular and sometimes all you want is the familiar sights and flavours of the old-fashioned favourites of your childhood. So we've collected the best recipes of the 50s, 60s, and 70s - Scotch Eggs, Duck a l'Orange, and Classic Trifle - while adding a lighter 21st Century twist to other Retro dishes like Black Forest Souffle.

Stepping back in time, we evoke the menus of the fabulous fifties, groove through the sizzling sixties and disco through the seventies with dishes like prawn cocktail, steak Diane and Crepes Suzette. With all this classic mid-century class, you'll be inspired to don your finest pinny, wheel out your hostess trolley and get cooking. And remember, whatever the era, the recipes are always Triple Tested perfection.
