This review is from: Retro Beach Bash: A Sun Lover's Guide to Food and Fun (Hardcover)
Summer is finely here and Retro beach bach is a great book to start the season with. I use to this book for my cooking night last week. We had Southern Fired chicken, campfire bicuts, totally perfect ice tea and walk the plank cookies, and they all tasted so good. I sure can't wait to use this book again for my next cooking night. I had a ball or should I say beach ball and you will too if you get this book
