Review # 1 was written on 2008-04-14 00:00:00 Sebastiaan van Eekeren Breakfasts and Brunches contains over 175 tempting recipes organized into nine sections: Breakfast & Brunch; Breakfast & Brunch Drinks; Muffins, Quick Breads & Coffee Cakes; Sweet and Savory Breads & Pastries; Pancakes, Waffles & Crepes; Eggs; Grains &Legumes; Meats, Fish & Potatoes; and Soups, Salads & Small Bites. These recipes are elegant enough to be served for formal occasions. However, many of the dishes will likely become family favourites. Like many people, I love cooking (and my family loves eating what I cook) but I don't have the time to spend all day searching for special ingredients or hours trying to work through complicated instructions meant for professional chefs. So when I first started to look though the elegant delicious looking recipes in this book, I started to worry that I couldn't possibly create such dishes. Then, I took a closer look at some of the recipes that caught my eye. I was surprised that I had most or all of the ingredients needed in my kitchen. Of the one or two items I needed, I found at my local supermarket. I was similarly surprised when I chose to start cooking. Not only were the recipes easy to follow but there were all sorts of technique boxes to help me with the more complicated instructions. Within a short time, I had a buffet full of delicious, amazingly pretty foods. I think my husband's words say it all "If breakfast was like this everyday, I never skip it again".
