A whole carton of old Gourmet Magazines - from the seventies and eighties - has just arrived at my house, and I'm having so much fun going through them. I'm loving the September 1978 issue; here are a few recipes that captured my attention.
(Amaretto was all the rage in the late seventies, but if you don't happen to have any on hand, you could substitute another liqueur, a bit of white or rose wine, or in a pinch, just water. It would probably improve the flavor - Amaretto is sticky sweet - but you might want to add just the tiniest drop of almond extract.)

I'm intrigued by this savory pie, which is kind of a cross between a quiche and a pizza. Looking forward to trying it.

And here's an unusual take on Coquilles St.-Jacques....

Should you forget how much time has passed since then, here's a rather pointed reminder:
