The American Diner Cookbook: More Than 450 Recipes and Nostalgia Galore

Love the simple recipes in this book and the simplicity of meals for yesterday year.

I have a collection of over 200 cookbooks, and this one is, by far, my favorite. All of the most delicious meals made by family and friends are here. This book brings back fond memories of my mother's meals. No fancy recipes, just easy to prepare, down-home goodness on every page. I just gave two copies away as gifts to my daughter and a friend, and they love it too. This cookbook will not rest on a shelf. It is one that you will turn to often. Over 450 recipes from diners all over America. Just a few delicious dishes are: jelly surprise muffins, down south omelette, chicken noodle soup, egg salad sandwich, maple barbecue oven spareribs, cabbage rolls, chicken cacciatore, crab cakes, home-style cole slaw, scallops in cream sauce, milk shakes in every flavor: coffee, english toffee, orange cream, and more, and deserts: carrot cake, pineapple upside-down cake, mississippi mud cake, Libby's key lime pie, apple crisp, rice pudding, and peach cobbler. Yum!

The title sums up this book, 'American Diner Cookbook'. I was hoping more history on some of the diners that these recipes came from, but I won't hold that against it. It's a cookbook, plain and simple.

Huge book, lot of good favorites

I LOVE this cookbook! An absolute amazing collection of diner-style food and recipes. Literally if you're thinking of opening a diner, cafe, coffee shop, this would be an excellent investment. It's also sprinkled with historical notes of various diners, some old some relatively new. I was amazed to see a diner highlighted from an area very close to my hometown. Sadly the COVID hysteria caused that diner to shutter its doors permanently. But the book itself helps it and others live on through food and photos. Enjoy!

I am so glad I ordered this book! So many good recipes from the good old days of diner eating. I still remember the pies and the smells when you entered a dinner. The smells, atmosphere, and the people are alive again on these pages. Recipes are easy to make and delicious. If you want to make something or just stroll down memory lane, then this is the book for you.

I am a big fan of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the Food Channel and was hoping for a cookbook that would give me some cool, "different" recipes. This one is in the neighborhood, but doesn't quite do it all the way. The search goes on!

Author did an excellent job combining recipes with a history of the diner.

Simple and yummy recipes, and all is made from scratch. This book brings back memories of my favourite diners. Love it!

この一冊にアメリカの食の全てがあります。特にアメリカ旅行を計画されてる方、ガイドブックに乗ってる様なレストランの情報が知りたい方にぜひ一読をお勧めします。これを読まれたら‥もうあなたの行く所は決まったも同然!当然、私も含めて旅行の予定の無い方も大丈夫!レシピどうりに作ればアメリカを満喫できますよ。ただ日本では手に入りにくい食材があるのが難点ですが‥あとくれぐれもハンバーガー、ステーキはフライパンで焼かないで炭火の網焼きでね!私が言うまでもなくこれ基本ですよね!それでは今度の週末にでもお楽しみ下さい

This book has brought back so many wonderful memories. It's got an amazing selection of recipes...Doughnuts, Pancakes, Omlettes, Biscuits & Gravy, Cakes, Pies, Waffles, Muffins, Hamburger Buns, Classic Sides, Gravies, Chili, Soups, Chowders, Salads, Dressings, Sandwiches, Burgers, Steaks, Hotdogs, Ribs, Meatloaf, Pot roasts, Shakes, Smoothies, Sundaes, etc, etc. This is by no means an exhaustive list. It also delves into the history of the American Diner and has some old genuine diner menus. There's also a glossary of diner slang, which was interesting to read. There are some lovely nostalgic black and white photos of old diners, but no photos of the recipes. Having said that, all the recipes I've tried so far, have been a piece of cake to make. ;) Down South Omlette, Banana Pancakes, Cinnamon Pancakes, Classic Onion Rings, Fresh Fruit Cup, Chicken Gumbo, Chicken Potato Chowder, Stuffed Lettuce Salad, Monte Cristo Sandwich #1, Sloppy Joes, Chicken Salad Sandwich #1 and #2, All American Burger, Deluxe Burgers, Baked Meat Loaf, Stuffed Green Peppers, Chicken Tetrazzini, Black Cow, Chocolate Malted Milk, Banana Milk Shake, Strawberry Sundae. Next on my menu are; Meatball Sandwich, Chili Dogs, Baked Burgers, Hamburger Buns, Oven Spareribs, Fill-Er-Up Beef Stroganoff, Cabbage Rolls, Chicken Croquettes, Chicken Pot Pie, Orange Pick-Me-Up, Applesauce Cake, Banana Cake, Custard Pie, Chocolate Custard Pie. All measurements are in US cups, etc. Google helped me with things like All purpose flour ( plain flour), Cake flour ( self raising), etc. If you can't be bothered buying a set of measuring cups, don't waste your money on this book. For everyone else, go for it...it's packed with authentic Diner recipes. I love it!

Très bon livre. Exclusivement en anglais mais au moins on est sûr que ce sont des recettes authentique. Je recommande pour les fous de plats américain.

Ricette interessanti, ma purtroppo è poco più di una fotocopia. Neanche una copia anastatica, stampa digitale di bassa qualità
