Retro recipes

Take a delicious stroll down memory lane with our most nostalgic recipes – because some things never go out of style. These tried-and-tested classics, dinner-party heroes, crowd-pleasing feasts and retro bakes have earned their place for very good reason. 

Give classics an upgrade, like our prawn cocktail for 2026, tuck into a comforting main that works just as well midweek as it does for entertaining – hello, chicken Kyiv – or finish with a showstopping, “how did they do that?” moment with mint choc chip baked Alaska. You’ll find plenty to fall in love with all over again. 

Expect a touch of nostalgia, a sprinkling of fun and just enough modern flair to keep things feeling fresh.
