The recipes work and are fun – a cookbook you will USE,
Sad to say, I have never been to the Fog City Diner, so I cannot compare my outcomes with the originals. But, the book is great! Enough detail so that even I can get it right, and where necessary (i.e. pie crust) the measurements are PERFECT. The ceviche recipe is an especially excellent one (orange+lemon+lime juice marinade – who knew?). Hearty comfort food with a lot of spirit and panache.

|Good Diner Food Made Easy,
I like to browse different types of cookbooks, and to find recipes that I may not find anywhere else. This cookbook did not disappoint. Even though I have not visited the Fog City Diner, I have been to many diners in my day. I was surprised at the large variety of recipes available, and the eclectic ingredients included in the book.
Some of my favorite recipes include: Split Pea and Apple-Smoked Bacon Soup, Mushroom Toast, Cheesesteak Sandwich, Cobb Sandwich, Chicken Curry Pot Pie, Apple Dumplings, Vanilla Caramel Custard, Hot Toddy, and Seasoned Nuts.
Enjoy!

|What a fun cookbook!,
Love this Fog City Diner cookbook! It’s got lots of fun “back story” information about the owners, customers, and how recipes originated and in some cases evolved. There’s lots of recipes I intend to try & while some might be a bit ambitious and time intensive to undertake, instructions are detailed and from my dining experiences at Fog City Diner I know any dish will be well worth it! My daughter and new husband moved to San Francisco following their wedding (almost 17 years ago!) and some of my fondest memories include visiting their wonderful “new hometown” of S.F. One memorable trip we hit Fog City Diner and had the most amazing Cobb Salad Sandwich that still makes me smile (and hungry!) to this day. Searching out that recipe recently brought me to Amazon’s offering of Fog City Diner’s cookbook. I brought it to my daughter’s (now in Seattle) and looking through it together we reminisced about what a great adventure beginning their married life together in San Francisco was. Next time I visit her I’m making that Cobb Salad Sandwich & we’ll think oh-so-fondly of the Fog City Diner. Ah, Good Times, Good Times!
