4.0 out of 5 stars
A fun book, especially for fans of the Retro series
I own a few other books in the Retro cookbook collection, and this one goes along the same format. I bought it hoping to find a few fifties cocktail recipes, and wasn't disappointed...and of course, keep in mind that what passed for sophistication fifty years ago was VERY different when it came to party food!

Not what I was expecting.
I guess if you don't have a clue what retro style is and want someone to patronise you about it this book would be perfect. I hated the tone of this book - words like 'cool' and 'classy' abound; the ideas are frankly, naff, and its general tips (such as 'Cheese: Especially something nice') were unhelpful to say the least. The Retro Fiesta book is slightly better.
