Search Engine Madness...

Someone found this here site with "Recipes from the 1980's."

Whoa, mack. That was the era of white zinfandel and insufferable Boomer yuppies strutting their Reagan-fueled egos. Wolfgang Puck rose to fame in the 1980's. Jeremiah Towers rose to fame in the 1980's. Restaurants were painted pink and green in earnest. Or black and gold. They thought that was a real class act, sort of like the 1920's, but with shoulder pads and big hair on the women.

Sure, there were some rumblings of good things to come: mainstream acceptance of sushi, ever increasing availability of decent patisserie and espresso, etc. But half the time if you found a decent restaurant they blew it by playing smooth jazz (still parading around as jazz fusion, like Miles would ever have tolerated that pap).

The best thing to come out of the 1980's, culturally, was John Chowning's frequency modulation synthesis (the DX-7, a great instrument whose potential was usually only scratched in spite of the fact that you can hardly escape it in music of that era). Foodwise, things were emerging, but you had to wait for things to really get going.

So, sorry, no 1980's recipes here.

Good luck.
