Dinner in the Clouds: Great International Airline Recipes, by Glenn I. Howe. Corona de Mar, California: Zeta Publishers Co., 1985. ISBN 0918376033. Hardcover, 128 pages including index; approx 11â x 9â. Introduction by Spencer Crump. Dust jacket.
For several decades, global travel on the great international airlines retained its earlier luxury even as it started to become accessible to more middle income travelers. Passengers âdressed up,â and full meals were served on real china with all the other refined accoutrements.
This fun volume remembers those days. Photos of the old planes, smiling passengers and stewardesses, and elegantly set tables. Brief histories of twenty major airlines in each chapter, plus the recipes from some of their signature meals.
Ah, the nostalgia...!
