Were the 1970s the decade that taste forgot?

They call the 1970s the decade taste forgot. But is that fair? Was food really just about aspic and pineapple? Anna Pallai was brought up on 1970s stalwarts of stuffed peppers, meatloaf and platters of slightly greying hardboiled eggs. When she rediscovered her mother's grease-stained 70s cookbooks, she knew she needed to share those recipes with the world. Peter White talks to Jay Rayner about what inspired the convenience foods of the 1970s.
