The Pancake Handbook [Paperback]

Stephen Siegelman (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Siegelman's coauthors (Sue Conley and Bette Kroening) are the chef-owners of a very popular Berkeley, California restaurant, Bette's Oceanview Diner. It serves an eclectic updated diner menu, but customers start lining up for breakfast (including pancakes at 6 a.m.). And here are the recipes: not just buttermilk and buckwheat pancakes and sourdough waffles, but cheese blintzes, Suzette's "Crepes Suzette," potato latkes, and more. The text is well written and entertaining, the recipes good and quite diverse. Recommended for area and larger collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best basic pancake recipe, January 31, 2005

This review is from: The Pancake Handbook (Paperback)

I used the basic buttermilk pancake recipe to make waffles and they came out better than any other recipe I've used. The book offers a great little history on the diner and gives a wide variety of different pancakes and waffles you can make. I found it very helpful how they listed out the basic pantry items you will need to make the different recipes in the book. It made shopping a lot easier.

Bette's Diner should be on your "MUST list" for Berkeley, CA. But, if that is not possible then using this book will not only take you on a Breakfast "trip," it will make you the BREAKFAST guru in your neck of the woods. The cooks of this book will guide you through every technique and combination. It's the first book I grab if company shows for breakfast. Easy, straight forward and funny, it's a family pleaser. This book is a must for your collection and makes a treasured gift to any bride.
