The Pancake Handbook by Steve Siegelman

Settle into a plush, red Naugahyde booth at Bette's Oceanview Diner, and you'll be served some of the best pancakes on the planet. Back in 1982, Bette's was founded in Berkeley, California, by a breakfast-loving group of chefs. It has since become one of the Bay Area's favorite breakfast and brunch spots, with people lining up well before the doors open each morning.

STEVE SIEGELMAN, BETE KROENING, and SUE CONLEY were among the original founders of Bette's Oceanview Diner in Berkeley, California. Steve is a Berkeley-based food writer for print and television. Bette, the diner's namesake, still owns and runs the restaurant with her husband, Manfred. Sue went on to found Tomales Bay Foods and has become a pioneer in the artisan cheese movement through her Cowgirl Creamery in Point Reyes Station and Artisan Cheese in San Francisco.

Cowgirl Creamery launched in 1997, but the story of the Cowgirls began well before then. Sue Conley and Peggy Smith met freshman year at the University of Tennessee where, little did they know, a lifelong friendship and infatuation with food would ensue. In 1976 their journey westward began when they drove from the East Coast to San Francisco. Once arriving in the Bay Area, they became involved in the burgeoning food movement. Smith worked at Chez Panisse and was a chef at the restaurant when it's adjoining cafe opened while Conley co-founded Bette's Diner, both of which are still Berkeley institutions By the early 1990s, Conley and Smith were ready for a new challenge. With their first hand knowledge of the restaurant business, they launched Tomales Bay Foods, a marketing vehicle to help West Marin's farms and dairies get their delicious products into the hands of the Bay Area's finest chefs. From there, they decided to make their own cheese using the milk from neighboring Straus Family Creamery. Two decades, dozens of awards (including induction into the Guilde des Fromagers), two creameries, four retail stores, and two thousand tons of cheese later, it is apparent that these Cowgirls have helped to pioneer the American artisan cheese movement.

Photographs by Canal House bring life and color to the Cowgirl Creamery story and recipes. Christopher Hirsheimer and Melissa Hamilton are the dynamic duo behind the Canal House. Hirsheimer, one of the founders and former Executive Editor at Saveur Magazine, and Hamilton, one of the former food editors at the magazine, joined forces in 2007 to write, photograph and self-publish a quarterly magazine and daily blog that celebrates simple, seasonal cooking and the joys of eating. Hirsheimer and Hamilton published their first book, Canal House Cooks Everyday, in the fall of 2012. It is inspired by their daily blog and offers a year of seasonal recipes for the home cook.
