Discover the Magic of Retro Recipes

“Bobby Hicks takes us back to our grandma’s kitchen (or maybe great-grandma’s) with this magnificent collection of recipes. Each recipe comes with Bobby’s brand of humor, history, beautiful photography, and vintage illustrations proving that, just because a dish is old, it doesn’t mean it should be forgotten.”

“The charm of midcentury cooking with updated modern style! From reimagined classics to playful party bites, Bobby Hicks transforms nostalgia into crowd-pleasing dishes that appeal to today’s kitchens. [Carrot Croquettes are a personal fav.] A celebration of comfort and creativity, this is proof that OG dishes never go out of style.”

“Bobby Hicks’s love for food, whimsy, and nostalgia are part of what makes him one of the best people I know and also the reason why I love this book. It’s a 10/10.”

“A love letter from a chef who’s equal parts cook and history buff—celebrating the flavors, quirks, and charm of classic Americana. With a hearty sense of humor and a deep appreciation for the past, these recipes bring back the joy of comfort food and the stories that make every bite a celebration of simpler, happier times.”

“Retro Recipes is a celebration of the dishes that shaped American cooking. These recipes brought me back—to childhood dinners, to family meals in the kitchen, to the dishes I loved and a few I’d rather forget. Bobby Hicks is a legend for bringing this book to life—with history, flavor, and plenty of gelatin. I love this book.”
