A combination history book and cookbook, The Unofficial Disney Parks Retro Cookbook is a fun read for any Disney fan.
There's a lot of nostalgia in the pages of this cookbook no matter what
decade of Disney, or which park, is your favorite, with stories and
recipes covering almost every park from the beginning of the Disney
story. Authors Julie Tremaine and Carly Caramanna clearly did their
research.
The variety of recipes is impressive considering it's
all theme park food, but in its pages you'll find cocktails, burgers,
desserts, soup, and more. I was surprised by the number of drinks
listed. One thing to keep in mind, for a 200+ page book, you're only
getting about 60 recipes, most of which (as the title tells you), are
not actual Disney recipes. Many are inspired by, or similar to, in the
spirit of or is just made with ingredients that the authors seem to
think will taste better. They might be right, but the final product
connects these recipes to the House of Mouse with the thinnest of
threads. The bulk of this book is spent on storytelling.
Still,
the stories are entertaining and the recipes look tasty - I have several
bookmarked to try (hello Black Truffle Macaroni and Cheese!).
The
Unofficial Disney Parks Retro Cookbook will be published on October 13,
2026.
Thanks to Harper Celebrate, NetGalley, and authors Julie Tremaine and Carly Caramanna for the advance review copy.
