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!

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.
