A sample of some recipes from cookbooks past

Crispy Pancakes

Since the well-known brand of crispy pancakes launched in 1958, generations of children looked forward to them when they came home from school. Try these Crispy Pancakes for a retro dinner for friends and bring back the memories. For more nostalgic recipes take a look at the Retro Classics Cookbook.

Pineapple Upside Down Pudding

In the 1920s an American producer of canned pineapple ran a recipe contest: an upside-down cake was among the winning recipes. Canned pineapple was unavailable in Britain in the 1940s and early 50s, but it made a successful comeback in this dessert in the 1960s. Like the ones of the past, this Pineapple Upside Down Pudding is sure to have everyone wanting a piece.

Leek & Potato Soup

A simple soup that will never go out of fashion, with its classic garnish of cream and chives. Try making this tasty and trustworthy Leek & Potato Soup. For more delicious recipes visit the Dairy Diary Recipe Collection.

Manchester Tart

A staple on school dinner menus until the mid-1980s. With crisp pastry, a luscious layer of jam, creamy custard and toasted coconut, this simple yet tasty version of the Manchester Tart uses the retro classic: custard powder. For more nostalgic recipes, take a look at the Retro Classics Cookbook.
