America's favorite diner comes to paperback! This wonderful cookbook, from the world-famous Fog City Diner, has been a home-cooking favorite for years, with over 50,000 copies in print -- and the new paperback edition will only gain it more admirers. For more than a dozen years now, Fog City (with locations in San Francisco, Dallas, Las Vegas, and Chicago, and fans everywhere) has been servin' up good times and contemporary comfort food. Day or night, the diner is always bustling with locals and visitors, cozying into the deep, booths and digging into a Chicken Curry Pot Pie or bowl of Split Pea and Apple-Smoked Bacon Soup, maybe topping it off with a slice of Butterscotch Pudding Pie. Sound good? Well this is the cookbook that brings it all home.

I was young, and on my way to my first cooking gig, at a diner-ish place in Whistler, and stopped by the Pink Peppercorn (RIP - the PP on Broadway was the first, and at the time only, cookbook store in Vancouver) to prepare for my new post.
I bought the Fog City Diner Cookbook by Cindy Pawlcyn, as it seemed apt for my new job; I thought I knew how to cook then, and I was soooo green. This book served me well! It has been a long time since I used it - I am a pastry chef now, not a cook - but going through the recipes still thrills me. This is real diner food with updated twists, super tasty comfort food that really hits the spot. The recipes always worked - I fondly remember the Grilled Beef and Chanterelle Mushrooms with Arugala appetizer, the Reddened Snapper Sandwich with Guacamole, the Crab Cakes with Sherry Cayenne Mayonnaise - OMG so good! People always came back for the German Chocolate Cake with Pecan Frosting, another gem of a recipe.
Cindy has since opened a number of well-known restaurants, and I used to own another good cookbook by her, for the Mustard's Grill. Her books are very readable, with good attention to detail and quality instructions. This has been a great book for me, and I enthusiastically recommend it to home cooks or professionals alike. I am definitely going to give it another go-round in the near future - so good!
