In five mini-classes, she teaches how to master easy but impressive classic egg dishes–omelets, quiches, strata, frittata, and crêpes–with numerous variations on each. Finally, no cookbook by Gale would be complete without recipes for the wonderful baked goods she’s famous for, such as Ginger Scones with Peaches and Cream, Moist Orange-Date Muffins, Glazed Crullers, and Quick Pear Streusel Coffee Cake.

Special occasion or not, brunch is a cinch with Gale’s irresistible recipes. Start off the day with zesty Breakfast Burritos for the kids, or wow visiting in-laws with Poached Salmon with Cucumber Yogurt. Anyone will find Gale’s salads, soups, and sides delicious and simple, and with 60 color photographs, you’ll be enticed to try a new recipe every weekend.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Brunch is one of the weekend's best assets, but people often think they must rely on the same old recipes, or else eat out, to enjoy it. Pastry chef and restaurateur Gand (Short and Sweet Dessert Deck) shows that plenty of brunch dishes, many of them even better than what is served at restaurants, are within reach. Gand, writing with Matheson (coauthor of Wine Mondays) starts with an enticing assortment of drinks (e.g., white hot chocolate and a three-alarm Bloody Mary), then a chapter on brunch's eggy foundations—omelets, stratas, frittatas, quiches and crêpes, each with appetizing variations—that will please any brunch crowd. In subsequent chapters, Gand hits the sweet and savory high points, from pancakes and doughnuts to onion tarts and cheddar grits. She amps up classics like French toast by using sliced almonds and ciabatta bread and transforms others, so that a bacon-scallion scone, for instance, comes out light and flavorful rather than resembling the usual floury hockey puck. She also mixes things up with less common items such as pretzels, pot stickers and a lemony wheat berry salad. Accessible instructions, basic preparation tips and make-ahead hints ensure that both beginners and those who think cooking brunch is too bothersome will find this volume to be inspiring. (Apr.)

Really Good

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2013

This cook book from Gale Gand, renowned pastry chef and partner in several restaurants, has so many interesting and new ideas. I especially like the section on drinks for brunch - things like iced coffee with cinnamon/coffee ice cubes. Who'd'a thunk?

The pictures are excellent, and the ideas have made my last couple of brunches lovely. The fruit butters are divine. The chapter on basics covers omelets, strata, frittata, quiche, & crepes...yes, the basics for any brunch - eggs! And in "Bites" she uses quail eggs, something I always keep on hand, but most people think of as an unusual ingredient.

I use her zucchini rounds with roasted tomatoes & goat cheese as an hors d'oeuvre at dinner, as well as brunch. I tend to roast up a bunch of tomatoes at a time and keep them on hand, too.

For some reason, I always like to find a selection of menus in a cook book - this has a wide selection.

Recommended for anyone who likes to serve a nice brunch.

Gale Gand's Brunch!...is Ok

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2009

Verified Purchase

From everything I've read about Gale Gand, I guess I was expecting more. The book is well written with many photos. I really like the way the photos match the recipe. I've seen others where that isn't the case and it is off putting.

However, I have found nearly all of these recipes online for free at other cooking sites. So, the big selling point here is that they are all grouped in one place.

There are plenty of variations on themes to create a wide variety of dishes from one basic dish, but once you have one or two, thinking of others really isn't that much of a challenge.

I will be looking into her other books with more caution.

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2009

I haven't used it yet so I can't speak about the taste of the dishes. But I only gave it 4 stars because there weren't as many recipes in there that I think I will try as I thought when I purchased the book. However, I have purchased other books by Gale Gand and whatever recipes I do use will probably be very good.

Gale Gand's Brunch!

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2009

Verified Purchase

This is a beautifully done cookbook. I wanted a book that gave me recipes that could be made ahead for next-day brunches when I have friends staying over (so I don't have to get up so early) There are many recipes that fill the bill. Its beautifully illustrated also, which makes it much more fun to cook with. Gale also includes a nice selection of cocktail recipes. I made her Pim's Cup drinks to serve my guests as they arrived the prior evening and they were a big hit. Very different! Just about anything you'd like to see for breakfasts and brunches and general entertaining are here!

Great book and can't wait to give it away as a bridal shower gift. I bought this book off Amazon for 2/3 the price that our local library was offering it for, as Gale Gand came to demonstrate a couple of her recipes one evening and offered to autograph books and aprons. She is a really sweet person who really should consider being a pastry chef comedian - she's funny! All around great offer from Amazon - will definitely compare prices there first before buying anywhere else!

I bought this for my mom, who loves to entertain guests for brunch. It's perfect for cooking for guests or just your family. I need my own copy! So many great recipes. This is is one of those cookbooks that will get used again and again until it's falling apart. Everything I or my mom has made has been so impressive and simple.

I just received the cookbook yesterday, and have not been able to put it down. I can't wait to try out all of the amazing looking recipes! I love to cook and find that a lot of the more "gourmet" recipes are very labor intensive and time consuming. This book seems to have a lot of recipes with ingredients that I have on hand, and they all look amazing! I am getting groceries today to start cooking tomorrow:).
