Diane Rossen Worthington is my favorite cookbook author. In American Bistro, I loved the Grilled Lime-Cilantro Chicken with Tomatillo Salsa, Southwestern-style Beef Chili, and Grilled Veal Sausages with Sauteed Apples and Carmelized Fennel and Red Onions. For holiday desserts, her Pumpkin Caramel Flan and Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie with Gingersnap Crust are welcome alternatives to standard pumpkin pie. Her Warm Chocolate Pudding Cakes are out of this world!

If you love to cook and love to eat good food this is for you. The elegance of Bisto food with the simplicty of casual cooking. I love it and my collection would not be complete with out it and I would miss it.

Don't feel like braving the crowds or forking over alot of money at your favorite restaurant? A friend gifted me with Diane Worthington's American Bistro and I've had fabulous fun producing bistro fare right at home, thanks to her clear, concise directions, use of wonderful fresh ingredients, and her fusion of cooking traditions found throughout our country. Bravo Bistro cooking--and "yumola," Ms. W!

American Bistro by Diane Worthington is destined to become another must have in any cooks kitchen. It already is in mine! The Whitefish Tureen is to die for and the Mushroom Barley Soup is heaven on earth. Diane, if you are reading this, keep up the great work! You leave your readers craving more everytime!

i would just like to say that diane's recipies are not my personal favorites but whatever that marielle woman has to say is probably untrue. that was rude.

I bought this book knowing that I loved American cuisine. Even reading the first recipie was dissappointing. Cooking it was definately not a thrill, as the instructions were quite unclear. The net result was terrible, and I'm not a bad cook. If you know what's good for you, you won't buy this book, it was extremely unhelpful.
