Anna Pallai

Anna Pallai is a PR and agent and formerly Publicity Director at Faber where she helped manage the publishing careers of Harry Hill, Ricky Gervais, Richard Ayoade, David Mitchell and numerous others.  She was born mid-way through the 1970’s and vividly recalls the period of 1975-1980 as being a personal culinary nadir.  Having been force fed devilled eggs, stuffed peppers and Hungarian meat stews of dubious origin from birth, she went vegetarian aged 12 and hasn’t looked back since.

In 2016, Square Peg published her book inspired by her staggeringly popular twitter feed @70s_party, which celebrates the good, the bad and the downright ugly of retro food. 

‘The funniest book I’ve seen so far this year… Perfect deadpan wit. Part social history, part Dadaist artwork.’ - Jonathan Coe, Guardian, Book of the Year

Each photo is garnished by Pallai's swift and witty take on the image in question, and the result is hilarious. - Erica Wagner, Harper's Bazaar
