Crepes, waffles and pancakes are three foods that are firm favorites at breakfast, but often have all their possibilities over looked in the book Crepes, Waffles and Pancakes aims to remedy that by presenting the reader with over 100 different recipes for the three that range from savory to sweet and cover every meal of the day, from breakfast to dessert. One of the things that I like best about this book is that a good number of the recipes are based on one or three basic batters. On one hand, it does seem a bit like you're only getting a few recipes in the whole book, but on the other, it means that you only really have to master a few things to make all of the delicious-looking dishes. Besides, when you have a good recipe, you may as well stick with it. The more basic recipes include Lemon and Sultana Buttermilk Pancakes, Breakfast Waffle Sandwich and Vanilla Crepes with Autumn Fruits. Some of the more unusual recipes include Walnut Crepes with Waldorf-style Chicken Salad, Pesto Pancakes Crisps and Spicy Lamb and Chickpea Waffles. There are tips for making some of the recipes gluten free, which is a nice addition for anyone sensitive to wheat or gluten, and most of the recipes are accompanied by tempting photographs.
