The oatmeal with baked apples -- oooh la la!! This book was worth the purchase based on the author's ability to reinvent ordinary oatmeal!! Some of the recipes are time consuming -- but time is not an issue when the rewards are the first bite that marinate in your mind over and over again!! The kudos you receive from your family after they take that first bite -- and pure silence!! For moments after the first bite only - pure silence of an AHA MOMENT of pure indulgence that will last until the next time!!

This book is a must-have for all you breakfast enthusiasts out there. Seriously, EVERY single thing I have made from here has been a HUGE hit. I hope to someday open up a Bed and Breakfast, and you can bet that many recipes will come from this book. The recipes are explained very well and explanations are given for why you have to do certain things. My husband, who does not cook, was able to make a fantastic breakfast for me just by following the directions. Again, fabulous book, highly recommended!!

This book gets used more than any other book in our collection. It simply is the best cookbook if you are a fan of brunch.

Williams-Sonoma cookbooks are FABULOUS!!! I purchase them quite often, and I have not been disappointed with the turnout of a recipe yet!

Covering all bases well, this book is exactly what it promises to be. In addition to scrumptious recipes, many of which were new to me, it offers great tips on how to structure and serve breakfast or brunch with friends and family. I especially appreciated that the recipes were not all fried or loaded with sugar; you'll find delectable and practical options in here for everyone, regardless of diet. Well worth checking out!

So far, I've only cooked the Beignets, but they were easy to make and were delicious. The other recipes are rather elaborate if you want to make a quick and ordinary breakfast. However, that is not this book's objective, and I would agree that this is the perfect guide for making a nice breakfast or brunch for guests.

Looked through the book and can't wait to try the wonderful recipes in the book. The way the book is layed out in the beginning of each chapter listing the items on the first page, with colorful photos on each page thereafter, and easy to follow directions right next to the photos. I would recommend this book. It's worth the price.

I couldn't wait to receive the book, and when I did receive it I was not disappointed. The pages are filled with beautiful and inviting pictures. It makes you want to try each recipe!! This isn't one of those books that have only a few pictures spread throughout the book. It is loaded with pictures. The recipes are not intimidating.

Great recipes through out the entire book. I am a big breakfast eater and I have truely enjoyed this book.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I am always looking for new ideas - especially for Sunday breakfast which is usually a special treat. This book is well illustrated and has lots of great ideas. I couldn't decide between a 4 star and a 5 star rating. Although beautifil with interesting ideas, it still somehow left me hoping for more suggestions that I would make, hence the 4.
