Yup - these are 70's and 80's recipes alright.  I remember a fair few of them fondly and still make some of these now and again.  The book comes with an interactive Table of Contents that correctly interfaces with the Kindle Navigation Menu (extra star from Grandma!) and contains 25 recipes for old family favorites that can still be enjoyed today.I do have a couple of comments on the contents.  The recipe for Cabbage Rolls specifies "1 large can tomato juice."  Can sizes are a bit different today than they were in the 70's.  That can should hold about a quart.The recipe for Shrimp & Crab Casserole calls for "1 can of crabmeat.'  Back in the day that can would have contained 7.5 ounces or so of crabmeat.  You may need two cans today.  Check the size on the can of crabmeat.The recipe for Tuna Patties calls for "2 cans (7 ounces each) tuna, drained."  They haven't made 7-ounce cans of tuna in many, many a year.  These days a can of tuna usually is about 4.5 ounces.  You will need at least three of them for this recipe.  I say "at least three" because these days many brands of tuna also contain substantially more water than they did back when.  Don't be surprised if you need four cans.These are all nice easy recipes for quick week night dinners.  (Yes, they use canned soups.  What can I say?  It was the 70's!)You're likely to find some old favorites here.
