Nobody wrote these down. That's not because they weren't good, it's because they lived in your grandmother's head, passed along by watching, not reading. Fifteen dinners from the 1970s, made with a can of this and a jar of that, dumped into a dish and left to do the work while she did six other things at once. Almost every one of these has quietly disappeared from modern kitchens, and today we're bringing them all back.
