It's a simpler time people remember fondly, and we wanted to help bring that feeling back to the kitchen.” “Cookbook 1970s” isn’t just a random collection of old recipes, though. ALA ENERGY’s team spent months researching, testing, and meticulously compiling a book that truly represents the culinary landscape of the era. They delved into vintage magazines, family cookbooks, and even interviewed people who lived through the 70s to get the authenticity just right. “We weren't just looking for recipes; we were looking for stories,” explains project lead, David Evans. “The 70s were all about entertaining, about bringing people together. We wanted this book to capture that spirit.” What's Inside "Cookbook 1970s"?
