I tend to save cookbooks that are about breakfast foods for the weekend, largely because Saturdays and Sundays tend to lend themselves to more leisurely breakfast preparations than weekdays. Today, I'm breaking the tradition by talking about Morning Food: Breakfasts, Brunches, And More for Savoring the Best Part of the Day . This cookbook serves as a reminder that every morning is a breakfasting opportunity, whether you're going to work or staying in your pjs, whether you have 5 minutes or 55.
The book is full of easy to follow, well-written recipes, but the icing on the cake (or perhaps the syrup on the pancakes) in this particular book is the friendly, funny prose of author Margaret Fox. Her stories and histories (and the exquisite photos) keep you turning the pages, going from one recipe to the next, and wanting to try them all. With 150 or so recipes, this is no easy task. They range from waffles, eggs and muffins to salads, dips and sandwiches, covering the expected and unexpected: Caramelized Apple Sauce, Bacon Pancakes, Berry-Filled Custard Crepes, Egg Salad Sandwiches and Hot Chocolate with, or without, Mocha Whipped Cream.
