This book has the nicest page layout of photographs and recipes I've seen in a long time. It has recipes for simple things like different kinds of hot cocoa to cinnamon rolls, oatmeal, and tarts. The picture of the apple walnut muffins makes me salivate! This would make a great gift.

If you are a beginner to preparing breakfast's and brunches for guests, I highly recommend this book. I recommend it anyhow, for yourself. your family,etc... The recipes are simple with easy to follow instructions and they come out great. No need to tailor them, unless you have specific desires (like cheese, or pepper or whatever else you may want) but that is easily done. These recipes compliment any breakfast, brunch, or lunch. It hosts a nice array of warm drinks, mixed drinks(cocktails and mocktail (non-alchoholic versions) info. for you little ones), there are pancakes, crepes, blintzes galore, a nice section on fruit and fruit glazes like compote, jelly, a small variety of meats and so forth. As a place to start, this is it. Enjoy.

We purchased this book to get ideas for our Bed and Breakfast -- The Sunflowers by the Sea. Not only was it filled with wonderful breakfast recipes but also valuable tips and techniques.

The book was so good we bought a second copy to keep at our winter home!

Just reading this book changed my success in the kitchen. Classically, Breakfast was the only meal I could handle; now, I feel like an expert. Covers lots of tips and tricks on making things better, that you alrealy make well. Also, the recipe's are delicious.

I bought this book as a gift for my dad, and he absolutely loved it. It's beautiful from cover to cover. The recipes inside are easy to follow, but are very creative and delicious. I'm extremely pleased with this purchase.

Good variety of recipes. Easy to follow instructions. While the ingredients are put in the step by step format instead of listed at the beginning, they are in bold print so are easy to find so you can check your pantry or make a grocery list. I highly recommend this book for cooks of any level.

Great ideas for fantastic breakfasts and brunches. Easy to read recipes.
Can't wait to make some.
