Book Description

September 27, 2005
There’s more to brunch than just omelettes and mimosas. Brunch can be a meal that wakes up your palate with a concordance of nuanced flavors. It can be a decadent feast worth lingering over and looking forward to all week. At Manhattan’s Five Points restaurant, chef Marc Meyer has proved this, that brunch can be an event in its own rite. He has set out to reimagine it with tempting dishes to savor and share with friends. The response has been unanimous: Five Points is one of New York City's most popular brunch spots and most coveted Sunday morning reservations. Brunch gives this special meal its full due, with more than 100 recipes for dishes that are sure to delight and inspire.

Whether you’re planning a quiet, intimate time for a couple to relax, or a lively group gathering for a shower, graduation, or holiday, there are recipes here for all occasions. You’ll learn how to turn out perfect renditions of classics with a twist such as Brown Butter Pecan Muffins, Baked Banana French Toast, and Smoked Salmon Benedict on Potato Pancakes, as well as new dishes to add to your repertory such as Churros and Mexican Hot Chocolate, Tea-Smoked Trout Salad, and Baked Eggs with Fresh Corn “Polenta” and Slow-Roasted Tomatoes.With mouthwatering photos and sections on menus and sources, Brunch is all you need to throw a stylish and sophisticated brunch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brunch made fun!, March 1, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Brunch: 100 Recipes from Five Points Restaurant (Hardcover)
Best breakfast/brunch book I have lately read completely with excitement and anticipation for every page. The recipes are fairly easy to prepare with simple ingredients. The ricotta cheese pancakes are absolutely devine, but the waffles with rhubarb comote and whipped cream, and also the sweet potatoes hash are my favorites. The drinks are all very enticing too. Just wish I could visit the restaurant itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Treat Your Friends to a Lovely Brunch, April 8, 2006
This review is from: Brunch: 100 Recipes from Five Points Restaurant (Hardcover)
I discovered this book from a review in Life Magazine. Brunch seemed like a lovely, civilized way to entertain, but how do you cope with cooking omelets for more than two people or getting everything fresh/warm/chilled to the table in a timely fashion?
This books answers those questions. The baked omelet cassarole sounds delish. I can even make orange marmalade (once my orange tree really gets to producing). You can buy the oranges too, if you don't have a tree.
The book also suggests themes, so you can make a party of brunch and there are even drink recipes (bloody Marys, bellinis and a blackberry-bay leaf spritzer).

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Brunches!, February 23, 2006
This review is from: Brunch: 100 Recipes from Five Points Restaurant (Hardcover)
The recipe for Smoked Salmon Benedict is worth the price of the book but there are so many other recipes for those of us who love to entertain and/or those of us who think Brunch is the best idea anyone ever came up with!
