THE CHICAGO DINER COOKBOOK

The Chicago Diner stands out as a vegetarian jewel in Chicago's historically meat-eating landscape. Founded in 1983 by Jo Kaucher and Mickey Hornick, the Diner helped elevate vegetarian cuisine from its humble beginnings to a delicious, even artful, experience.

Over the years the Diner has drawn regular folks and celebrities alike, from families who come in each and every Sunday to entertainers such as Madonna, Dave Matthews Band, and Kevin Bacon to vegetarian authors and advocates Howard Lyman and John Robbins.

Now you can share the pleasures of fine, natural dining that these patrons have been enjoying for years. This collection of recipes includes some of the Chicago Diner's most popular dishes. From the Macrobionic Meal, No Meat Fajita, and Tofu Scrabble Jubilee, to the Thunder Salad, and Radical Reuben Sandwich, you'll find classic meals with a new twist that will delight friends and family.
