Join author and librarian Amy Alessio for a fun and flavorful look at the food trends of the 1970s and the surprising number that never really went away. From the creamy, herb-packed Green Goddess dressing to the infamous Watergate cake and salad — still very much alive, just under different names — this program digs into the cultural moments and culinary curiosities that defined a decade. Along the way, you'll discover how politics, pop culture, and a fondness for Jell-O molds shaped what Americans were putting on the table, and why so many of those dishes are making a comeback today.

Amy Alessio is an award-winning librarian; author of the Amazon bestselling Alana O'Neill mystery series featuring vintage recipes and has given over 300 presentations to libraries and groups on vintage cooking and crafts.
