Out to Brunch: At Mildred Pierce Restaurant

by Donna Dooher, Claire Stubbs, Lianne George

Huevos Monty, Roasted Cherry Tomato Tart, Crunchy Coconut Macadamia Granola With Honey and...Green Eggs and no wonder Toronto's Mildred Pierce Restaurant opened to rave reviews and the chefs' cookbook turned into a local bestseller. Experience the delights of their cuisine right at home with this collection of amazingly delicious, beloved brunch recipes. Such mouthwatering treats as warm biscuits and scones, fluffy pancakes, and velvety egg dishes turn the meal into a great celebration. Begin with one of the drinks such as Mildred's Passion, a bubbly champagne cocktail with passion fruit liqueur. The "teasers" include a variety of unusual breads and muffins, from Bacon and Asiago Crumpets to Cinnamon Sugar Beignets. Choose from one of a dozen egg-based dishes-perhaps Veda's Choice, a dolled-up, sinfully extravagant version of eggs benedict. From Chester Salmon Salad to Double-Crossed Biscotti, every recipe is simply scrumptious. And movie lovers will have extra fun recognizing the sly references to the classic Joan Crawford movie that gives the restaurant its name.

Wonderful cookbook - great brunch recipes wit clear instructions. The biscotti and pancake recipes are a hit at my house, and those are just the first two recipes that I have tried.

Really pretty book with simple yet attractive brunch recipes. Since the restaurant was named after the movie Mildred Pierce it gave the book an enjoyable narrative throughline that tied it all together as one read the recipes.
