Since breakfast is our most important meal of the day this certainly will help a cook prepare fantastic meals for a great start. Being a visual learner, the pictures are works of art! The book contains a wonderful glossary of Italian ingredients, that a cook/shopper could buy at any large grocery store. Don't let the title deceive you - many of the recipes, especially the pasta meals could be served any time of day. As an owner of many cookbooks this has become one of my top favorites! Mangia!

This really is an amazing breakfast cookbook. All of the recipes are tasty and delicious. It seems to make really good use of fresh, readily available ingredients.

Some really great recipes:
Farfelle with Crabmeat, Asparagus, Scrambled eggs, and Herbs
Toasted Pine Nut-Honey Butter
Balsamic Strawberries
Lots and Lots of recipes with Marscapone cheese. Yum!

You will not be disappointed with this cookbook. It's too bad that it's discontinued. :-(

This is a good cookbook and it does have beautiful pictures but if you have a large collection of cookbooks, as I do, it doesn't have any new recipes or any recipes you couldn't think of yourself.

An unusual focus on breakfast and brunch Italian dishes points out that the American affection for both Italian food and breakfast can lead to a wonderful combination. From quiches and scones to sweet risotto puddings with fruits and baked polenta, Boungiorno! provides an excellent set of Italian specialties which lend well to brunch. The profusion of color photos peppered throughout are distinctive attractions for the cookbook collector.
