A long time ago when Beatles music blared from transistors and people went to San Francisco wearing flowers in the hair, we rocked around the clock and twisted the night away - we were young; we were the children of the sixties; we changed the world - for better or worse.
In those heady times we ate prawn cocktails, chicken Maryland and Black Forest Gateau and initially I thought I'd start my blog with those well known recipes but then I had a re-think. At that time we ate foods which were in season - everything wasn't available all year round as it is now. So I shall live again by the seasons, when fresh ingredients are at their best and at their cheapest. The recipes I pass on to you will be my own versions of various dishes - having given the basic recipes a 21st Century twist. I hope to explain how we prepared food in the 60's and 70's and how we can now make things so much easier these days by using current gadgets, technology and available foods. 
I shall do my utmost to post a new recipe, tip or story each week. I hope you will enjoy visiting my blog.
