The Pancake Handbook: Specialties from Bette's Oceanview Diner [A Cookbook] Paperback – Illustrated, July 15, 2003

Delicious recipes! Highly recommend.

This is a great find for so a well-known diner in Berkeley. The recipes are delicious and give you tips to make great food. Pancakes, blintzes & even toppings are so good. You can make at home. I have tried some recipes from this recipe book like the buttermilk pancakes, the crunchy wheat walnut waffles, blintzes and crepes are all wonderful. Even the omelettes are great too. Everyone loved how these turnout, and they keep coming for seconds and third helpings or I should say servings because it was perfectly cooked on what it is expected. Later, did I know that Betty Kroening passed last 2017 from cancer. So her daughter and husband are running the restaurant, and building her legacy. That place in Berkeley, California is already a historic landmark and shopping district. If you are a fan of their pancakes, waffles, crepes and some baked goods- this is a cookbook for you, so that you can share with family. We enjoyed it every weekend for brunch.

for the dishes I saw on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.And they work!

Read the beginning! Do not skip it! Tells you why to follow the recipes! You cannot mess up these pancakes if you follow their rules! My sister uses this, and she makes the best waffles. I made the Crunchy Whole Wheat Walnut Hotcakes and substituted pecans, added ground flax, and everybody (ages 4 to 41)LOVED them. NONE left for the next day. My kids begged to try another recipe the next weekend!April 2012We still love this book! We have been working our way through and love all of the recipes we have used so far! We bought a waffle maker (Presto Flip Side) and now are using the recipes for waffles. One of our favorites is the Pumpkin. We usually make a triple batch (family of 6) to have leftovers.

Very Happy with this purchase, arrived in excellent condition.I have wanted a book about pancakes and when I had read about this diner's history; I wanted to get this book with the pancake recipes that has been a staple with this diner.

I primarily purchased this book so that I would have the recipe for Bette's Diner Souffle Pancakes. These oven pancakes were featured on one of the Food Channel's segments of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. With this book I was able to recreate this great dish in my own kitchen. The book has many other pancake recipes that I will be trying out. Along with the recipes are cooking hints and advice specific to producing delicious pancakes.

I LOVE this pancake cookbook!!! The pancakes are fabulous!!!! If you prefer waffles they turn out perfect!! I am SO pleased with this cookbook!! I've tried several of the recipes and each one turned out to perfection!! How did I get along all these years without it?!

This isn't quite what i expected. It's very small and there are no photos- something I always appreciate in a cookbook. I bought this as part of a breakfast gift basket along with a good skillet for making pancakes, Vermont maple syrup, some specialty pancake/waffle mixes so it's fine but nothing to get excited about.

My wife has been making pancakes every weekend for years and I heard her say she loves this book. Nuff said.

Realy wonderful book

It's the next best thing to grabbing a booth at Bette's. Delicious American-style pancakes for any season. The lack of metric conversions may put some people off, but it's nothing an internet search or cup measures can't help.

Die Rezepte sind sehr gut, einfach nachzumachen und köstlich.Wie erwartet.Leider ist die Darstellung mangelhaft. Bekanntlich "isst" Auge mit. Bei dieser Ausgabe leider nicht, da keine farbigen Fotos vorliegen.Das ist sehr schade und verbesserungswürdig.

まさしく、アメリカのレシピ本って感じで、絵は一切ありませんが、情報量は、ピカイチです！！パンケーキの基本的な作り方から、コツや新感覚なパンケーキ、クレープなど、本当に種類が多いです。種類の多さだけじゃなく、味も絶品！！！ふわとろです！！このレシピをアレンジして、モバレピに投稿している人のつくレポが１０００件以上！！美味しさを証明してますね♪英語がダメな人には、ちょっと大変かもしれませんが、レシピ本なので、そんな難しい英語を使ってないので、是非本場のアメリカのパンケーキに挑戦してください♪
