I loved this cookbook, and coming on the heels of reviewing a book aimed at feeding men, this one does a far better job of breakfast than that cookbook did, for that target audience. I get new cookbooks out of the library and test drive them at home before making a decision to buy, and already 2 of us think this has great possibilities.

A superbly written cookbook - with a vast mixture of recipes ranging from simple (smoothies) to complex (home-made pretzels). Lovely, down-to-earth anecdotes prelude each recipe, and gorgeous photos of each finished product show you how it's done. Most meaty dishes are easy to substitute for vegetarian fare, and instructions are clear and precise. Love, love, love this cookbook! and I love brunch!

Looks yummy, but too much work. Have fun, non-lazy chefs!
BTW, if anyone wants to surprise me with Almond Ciabatta French Toast or Banana Nutella Crepes, please feel free.

Pretty great! It's got the best buttermilk pancake recipe I've tried. The other recipes I've tried out are good as well.

A solid book with more than just your usual brunch recipes. The pictures were great, but nothing really popped out at me.
