Last updated on June 26th, 2025

Here are a few nostalgic recipes for you to try this upcoming 4th of July from “The Holiday Cookbook” (1972) by Southern Living. I’ve also included a few of the recipes excerpts for nostalgic desserts Never-Fail Chocolate Cake, and Homemade Ice Cream in Cones.

Vintage inspiration for this Vintage 4th of July menu is from “The Holiday Cookbook” (1972) by Southern Living, a charming vintage cookbook showcasing their best recipes in the way of menu planning for classic American holidays. From Valentine’s Day luncheon, to Easter feast, Thanksgiving dinner, and Christmas gatherings, this book gives a glimpse into what people would eat for 1970’s celebrations.
