Think of it as a kind of DeLorean, taking you back to a time of big hair and perms, rollerskates, shoulder pads (for men and women) and some of the best music ever. This was our life, and how good was it? No wonder we’re nostalgic. So strap in, ’cause we’re going to take you there… with food!

One bite and you’ll be transported back to those hypercolour days. We hope this issue brings on your own flashbacks. We’ve even made a mixtape so you can…

Jersey caramel slice A creamy no-bake cheesecake treat. “I tweaked the recipe by adding some cocoa to the biscuit base, berry flavouring and pink colouring to the middle, and chocolate to the top. It looked Just like the jersey and tasted great.” @RECIPES4FUN “Really good, you could even add more butter to the base.” @SNEWC1 Prawn cocktail pasta salad The seafood classic reimagined. “Lovely salad.

The sweetness of a ripe fig naturally lends itself to desserts, but also pairs nicely with sharp savoury flavours. Enjoy them fresh, cooked or dried. choose Figs are picked fully ripe, so by the time they get to the shops they are quite fragile. Avoid figs with broken skin or that look like…

fad diets – unusual and sometimes downright unhealthy eating regimens – have been part of history since the Late 1800s. Typically promising unrealistic weight loss in a short time, and based on opinion rather than sound dietary recommendations, these quick fixes are the dietary equivalent to fast fashion. Extreme dieting hit its peak during the 1970s and ’80s, and the lycra era gave rise to some truly bizarre trends. The period of low-fat everything also had a strong focus on consuming single foods, with exotic-sounding names like the sexy pineapple diet, the grapefruit diet, the wine and eggs diet (yes, it really was a thing!), and even the cabbage soup diet, AKA the Dolly Parton diet. Just like today, cleanses were big during this era, with versions from the wacky…

It’s wonderfully versatile in the kitchen too, as a delicious addition to stir-fries, soups, salads, pasta and frittatas.

Marion Q I’d love to add an Asian twist to reinvent our family meatloaf. What would you recommend? I enjoy adding some Thai-style vibes to my family meatloaves. An easy way to do this is to add finely chopped lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves to the mince mixture. I serve this with sweet chilli sauce and a sprinkling of roughly chopped fresh coriander. Brushing the top of the meatloaf lightly with hoisin sauce 10 minutes before the end of cooking gives it a lovely glaze. Michelle Q My white sauce for tuna mornay is always lumpy. Can you help? When making a white sauce (also known as a bechamel), melt the butter and then stir in the flour and cook for 30 seconds to a minute to cook off the…
