Having seen a profile of the restaurant and its owner on national t.v. some time ago, I was eager to visit this place and taste what everyone was raving about. Now that we've taken that maiden trip, are we glad we did! The recipes in the book include every kind of yummy breakfast treat you can imagine. (The coconut and chocolate chip Peter Paul Pancakes are my fave!) If you have the time and patience to fuss over breakfast and don't just want to grab an apple and cup of coffee as you race out the door, this is a great way to enjoy Breakfast as a main meal of the day, and treat your family to something special too. The recipes are straightforward and easy to follow. The author (who is also the restaurant owner)has a friendly and easy to read style and it makes the cookbook more than just a step by step instructional. If you are ever in New York City, stop by this place on the Upper East Side and see for yourself why Carrie Levin has earned such a great reputation in her business.

The hashbrowns are my favorite. The way she cooks bacon is brilliant. The muffins are worth the price!

I thought this book would be great for brunch-style breakfast dishes as I often have overnight guests and like to have pre-made dishes in the refrigerator so that I don't spend the morning at the stove. This book, while does have what look like tasty recipes, is mostly things like eggs and pancakes and waffles, all things that need to be done at the last minute. I was so disappointed I gave it away.
