Milkbar Memories: The Cookbook of Your Childhood Dreams...Musk Sticks, Milkshakes and Other Fun Favourites

2016 | Food & Drink

Wonderfully retro old-fashioned foods revamped for modern times.Retro in style and theme, but very much a contemporary cookbook in its approach, Milkbar Memories is Jane Lawson's ode to wonderful old-fashioned treats connected with her 1970s childhood. Food strongly associated with memories of simpler times: juicy burgers and the maltiest of milkshakes; golden fish and chips; flaky-pastry meat pies and sausage rolls; vanilla slice and custard tarts. These 'fun foods'-120 in total-are all made from scratch with real, healthy ingredients for a 21st century audience. Readers can shake it up in Lawson's 'Milkbar' chapter with a Salted caramel or Chocolate hazelnut milkshake; get ice cream cone creative with Ginger spice cones, Nutty cones and Choc dip cones in the 'Ice Cream Cabinet'; learn to make Nut brittle, Caramel buds and Liquorice twists in the 'Lolly Shop'; take a trip to the pie shop with Cornish pasties, Beef burgundy pie and custard tarts; and munch away on Golden battered fish, Battered savs and Prawn cutlets from the 'Fish and Chip Shop'.A fascinating part-social history part-cookbook, Milkbar Memories will transport you back to delicious food from much simpler times.
