Culinary Institute of America: Breakfast and Brunches.......2007-07-16
Breakfasts and Brunches contains over 175 tempting recipes organized into nine sections: Breakfast & Brunch; Breakfast & Brunch Drinks; Muffins, Quick Breads & Coffee Cakes; Sweet and Savory Breads & Pastries; Pancakes, Waffles & Crepes; Eggs; Grains &Legumes; Meats, Fish & Potatoes; and Soups, Salads & Small Bites. These recipes are elegant enough to be served for formal occasions. However, many of the dishes will likely become family favourites.
Like many people, I love cooking (and my family loves eating what I cook) but I don't have the time to spend all day searching for special ingredients or hours trying to work through complicated instructions meant for professional chefs. So when I first started to look though the elegant delicious looking recipes in this book, I started to worry that I couldn't possibly create such dishes. Then, I took a closer look at some of the recipes that caught my eye. I was surprised that I had most or all of the ingredients needed in my kitchen. Of the one or two items I needed, I found at my local supermarket.
I was similarly surprised when I chose to start cooking. Not only were the recipes easy to follow but there were all sorts of technique boxes to help me with the more complicated instructions. Within a short time, I had a buffet full of delicious, amazingly pretty foods. I think my husband's words say it all "If breakfast was like this everyday, I never skip it again".
Loved it!.......2007-04-11
At this point I've just looked through the book, enjoyed the beautiful pictures and read the recipes. There is so much to offer and I want to take my time and study the informational sections and tips. I collect brunch and breakfast cookbooks and I an so happy to add this to my collection. I will be one of my top books I'm sure.
Perfect Waffles.......2007-03-26
The Waffle recipe on Page 136 is worth the price of the whole book. It is just PERFECT!. Great for any meal--not just brunch or breakfast.
Easy and Delicious .......2006-08-24
This cookbook is easy to follow, offers a variety of breakfast and brunch items. The pictures are a plus! I highly recommend this book for those of you who love Sunday morning feasts.

Afternoon Tea!.......2007-05-12
what a great book! my idea of luxury is to attend afternoon tea in a great hotel-and now I can recreate some of the recipes (but not the harpist) at home. If you like tea, good food, and learning about creating a mood or an atmosphere for your guests, this little book is just great!
Nice book on English Tea.......2007-01-19
I enjoyed reading this book. It is a good starter book for those who would like to understand the ritual of English Tea and basic recipes of this time of day.
Good things do come in small packages.......2006-10-18
Lots of easy, great recipes. If for no other reason, you should buy this book just for the basic english muffin recipe and scone recipes.
The Best Resource for Tradition as well as Recipes!.......2006-08-09
A friend and I have recently begun taking tea and we love the true British and Victorian style of tea houses. I wanted to find a book for her that was a great resource on the history of afternoon and high tea as well as providing some recipes to go along with the information. This was the best book I found. No other goes into as much detail about the history of tea that this book does. The only downfall is that the only illustrations in the book are line drawings. There are no photos. Still, that didn't keep me from picking this book over several others that did have nice pictures, because in the end, the content of this book superceded any other.
Best of 4.......2005-01-05
I've recently bought 4 different tea books and this is the best one I have so far. There are a lot of the expected recipes for traditional tea time fare, with some minor omissions I felt. The print left something to be desired, some of it was blurred, but if you just want to buy 1 English tea book, this is it.

Covers it all!.......2007-10-09
This is a must-have book. It will provide you with everything you need: useful, simple recipes that kids will actually eat, simple nutritional information, organizational tips, and tips and tricks for making the meal fun and getting your kids to eat the food you'd like them to eat. Honestly, this book is so practical. It's been the most bang I've gotten for a buck in a long time!
Not very novel, creative, or different.......2007-09-01
I got better ideas from parenting magazines. These were not very novel, creative, or healthy. It was also very thin. It was just a bunch of different kinds of sandwiches and soups. I was looking for something to break out of the rut, and this was not it. If the ONLY thing you can think of is PB&J, then you might get something out of it, but for those of us who can think of at least a little more variety, don't waste your money. I think the people who rated this multiple stars must be trying to boost the product's rating so they can sell theirs back, lol. :)
Not as healthy as I had hoped.......2007-06-01
"Healthy" is a somewhat relative term. The homemade recipes inside this book are certainly healthier than processed junk food, but I don't consider ingredients like chow mein noodles, american cheese or mini marshmallows to be "healthy". The usual topics found in healthy cooking books like the importance of whole grains, the pitfalls of trans fats or the importance of using organic produce, are pretty much absent from "Brown Bag Success". However, in terms of making lunches kids will like, eat and not trade, the book is filled with ideas. If you have a child who really will not eat their homemade lunch, you are bound to find some ideas in here that will help.
As another reviewer already noted, the recipes are heavy on peanut butter. I would say about one third of the recipes are peanut butter based. So if you have a child who loves PBJ, and you just can't make another one, then this book might just be for you. My daughter really doesn't like PBJ anymore, so they aren't much help to me.
On the other hand, some of the non peanut butter recipes look good enough to eat myself. The "Apple-Cinnamon Sandwich" puts a cream cheese-apple-walnut-celery spread between slices of raisin bread. The "Mini Drumsticks" are chicken wings soaked in an asian marinade and then baked. The chicken tabouleh salad and sweet coleslaw look good as well (But I'm not sure my daughter would so much as touch them. She dislikes most salad.) The baked goods all look good as well.
All in all I just don't feel most of these recipes are healthy enough for my family. My daughter has a bit of a weight problem, so I have to be really careful with what she eats. On the other hand the ideas for making a packed lunch more appealing to children are helpful and some of the recipes look tasty.
A great addition to my lunch repertoire........2007-05-09
This cookbook is geared more for kids. However, I was stuck in a lunch rut, and turned to this cookbook for help. It is wonderful. All of the recipes are easy with a small amount of ingredients. It really has added a lot of spice to my lunch repertoire.
Try the Peanut butter chocolate chip muffins. They are to die for.
Great ideas!.......2006-08-31
I have been brown bagging lunches for years and thought I had heard it all but I am always open to new idea and this book had them. My kids and I all went through it together and tried each kid's picks. It was fun and it has some really good ideas.
Book Description
There’s more to brunch than just omelettes and mimosas. Brunch can be a meal that wakes up your palate with a concordance of nuanced flavors.

Brunch gives this special meal its full due, with more than 100 recipes for dishes that are sure to delight and inspire.
Whether you’re planning a quiet, intimate time for a couple to relax, or a lively group gathering for a shower, graduation, or holiday, there are recipes here for all occasions. You’ll learn how to turn out perfect renditions of classics with a twist such as Brown Butter Pecan Muffins, Baked Banana French Toast, and Smoked Salmon Benedict on Potato Pancakes, as well as new dishes to add to your repertory such as Churros and Mexican Hot Chocolate, Tea-Smoked Trout Salad, and Baked Eggs with Fresh Corn “Polenta” and Slow-Roasted Tomatoes.With mouthwatering photos and sections on menus and sources, Brunch is all you need to throw a stylish and sophisticated brunch.

Treat Your Friends to a Lovely Brunch.......2006-04-09
I discovered this book from a review in Life Magazine. Brunch seemed like a lovely, civilized way to entertain, but how do you cope with cooking omelets for more than two people or getting everything fresh/warm/chilled to the table in a timely fashion?
This books answers those questions. The baked omelet cassarole sounds delish. I can even make orange marmalade (once my orange tree really gets to producing). You can buy the oranges too, if you don't have a tree.
The book also suggests themes, so you can make a party of brunch and there are even drink recipes (bloody Marys, bellinis and a blackberry-bay leaf spritzer).
Brunch made fun!.......2006-03-01
Best breakfast/brunch book I have lately read completely with excitement and anticipation for every page. The recipes are fairly easy to prepare with simple ingredients. The ricotta cheese pancakes are absolutely devine, but the waffles with rhubarb comote and whipped cream, and also the sweet potatoes hash are my favorites. The drinks are all very enticing too. Just wish I could visit the restaurant itself.
Beautiful Brunches!.......2006-02-24
The recipe for Smoked Salmon Benedict is worth the price of the book but there are so many other recipes for those of us who love to entertain and/or those of us who think Brunch is the best idea anyone ever came up with!
Book Description
What could be cozier on a blustery winter's day than a mug of tea by the fire with freshly baked Irish soda bread slathered with sweet butter and tangy orange marmalade? Or more invigorating on a crisp, cool afternoon in autumn than a picnic in the country with sharp English cheeses; crusty white peasant bread; vegetable, cheese, and apple tarts; and Thermoses of steaming warm tea? Or a better way to celebrate the ripe berries of summer than a dessert party tea in the garden with lemon-curd tartlets, raspberry shortcake, raspberry sorbet, sugar cookies, and tea served in flowered china cups?
A cookbook and style book, Having Tea includes a range of stunning locations with recipes, menus, table settings, and serving ideas for tea. There are formal and elegant teas that ring in the winter holidays with rich dark fruitcake, shortbread, brandy snaps, and sherried English trifle; a tea for one in the study with spicy ginger Bundt cake and a plate of cookies; and tea for two in a loft, with slow-scrambled eggs, cornmeal muffins and apple butter, and panfried tomatoes sprinkled with fresh tarragon. Each menu provides suggestions for the ideal tea to suit the meal.
Since the American style of tea drinking originated in England, Having Tea goes to the source to show two classic English tea rooms, tea at the Savoy Hotel in London, and a tea dance at London's Waldorf. In addition, there are special sections on the history and different varieties of teas, selections of teapots and tea services, and directions for brewing the perfect pot of tea. A final section, the "Tea Larder," offers ideas for tea trimmings from honey to mint or ginger, tea sandwiches, and a directory of mail-order sources for tea.
With approximately fifty recipes for tea sandwiches, crumpets, scones, cookies, and cakes as well as hearty tea-time meals, Having Tea will make you want to make having tea part of your day. It shows how, far more than a beverage, tea is a grand indulgence that provides food for the body and the soul.

Not to good.......2007-09-24
I have this book and the front cover is not accurate! It comes with another cover. The receipes are OK not many and not great. MOst of all it tells you it's a book of table settings and there are very little table settings or ideas in the book. I didn't like it.
Having tea .......2007-03-16
Not as good as what I've thought. There are menus with all the recipes, but many of them are not photographed. The table settings & styling look ordinary to me, not very impressive.
I would recommend other books like French tea by Carol Manchester and Tea time at the inn by Gail Greco, if anyone is looking for tea books.
The Only Afternoon Tea Book You Will Ever Need.......2003-01-15
I have been collecting books on afternoon tea for the last twenty years. This outstanding book, against which I judge all others, is a must have for anyone interested in afternoon tea. I have made almost all of the recipes many times and several items, particularly the Victorian poppyseed cake, can be found waiting in my kitchen for guests any day of the week.
Every recipe has consistantly turned out delicious and beautiful. The text is invites repeated reading by its gently lyric style and the photographs are at once dreamy and alluring. You will return to this book time and again.
Average at best.......2002-06-21
The photos in this book are lovely, and some of the theme ideas are nice, but honestly, the recipes didn't do much for me, for the most part. If you want some inspiration, and you want some photos for ideas on creating ambience for a nice tea party, then this is a good book; if you're looking for a cookbook, best keep looking.
But does it taste good?.......2002-05-08
Sure, the photos are pretty but are the recipes any good? I tried the raisin scone recipe - it was very dry and the salt needs to be reduced by at least half if not three quarters. I wonder if any recipe testing was done before this book went to print.

What's the best meal of the day? For many of us, it's breakfast. Saluting that fact is Cheryl Alters Jamison and Bill Jamison's A Real American Breakfast, a collection of 275 traditional and innovative recipes that cover breakfast comprehensively and in the best taste. Breakfast often competes with a tight morning schedule, which the book acknowledges by offering recipes that can be prepared the night before; regional, café, and bed-and-breakfast favorites are provided, as well. Dishes range from familiar eye-openers like waffles and cinnamon toast to less conventional fare like Salmon Croquettes and the Maple-Glazed Ham, Cheese, and Leek Sandwich--food that can also be enjoyed throughout the day.
Among other outstanding chapters, "Break an Egg," "Heavenly Hashes," and "Home-Crafted Cereals" score with exemplary recipes for fried eggs and bacon, red flannel hash, and crunchy granola, as well as "new" delights like Poached Eggs on Creamy Grits, Capitolade of Chicken, and Toasted Wheat with Caramelized Bananas. Other sections offer stratas and breakfast casseroles like Calabacitas Tortilla Casserole; dairy specialties, including lassi, an on-the-go chilled yogurt drink; and sweets, such as Raspberry-Cream Cheese Coffee Cake, Brown-Butter Apple Cake, and Chocolate Bread Pudding. With historical notes, old menus, and technique advice, the color-photo-illustrated book is the last word on the day's first meal. --Arthur Boehm

The Day's Best Meal.......2007-07-23
I'm a long time breakfast lover. I love breakfast at 8 AM and I love breakfast at 8 PM. And they're all here in one book. Even more pleasing, most breakfasts are a snap to prepare. The Jamisons are particularly strong on Southwestern favorites, so if you like to start your day with a few jalapenos or some beans, this is definitely the book for you. The other regions of the US are not neglected and then there are the surprises, meals I'd never dream of but are quite wonderful. It's a huge book, a compendium of the American breakfast, so I'll be testing and tasting recipes for a long time to come. I look forward to the many pleasures!
Because no matter how much you like cornflakes..........2007-02-27
...you're going to want something else once in a while.
This is a really good book. It was on Food and Wine Magazine's 25 best list a couple of years ago, and it's full of all kinds of breakfast delicacies, both familiar and unusual.
Breakfast (the American way at least) is an interesting meal, as it's appropriate any time of day -- the buzz created in September '06 by McDonalds' consideration of serving breakfast all day shows that much. The Jamisons take full advantage of that, starting out with the San Francisco classic Joe's Special (a spinach, hamburger, and egg scramble) and branching out into dishes with both wide appeal (waffles and corned beef hash) and strong ethnic and regional associations (including the much-loved grits and the much-dreaded scrapple and menudo). There are numerous variations on some themes as well -- pancakes include basic buttermilk pancakes, chuckwagon-style sourdough pancakes, big puffy Dutch baby pancakes, and even silver dollar pancakes (a long, long stack of which decorates the spine of the book). Hashes go from basic corned beef to fish, poultry, and even mushroom-based. There is even an entire section on baked goods such as biscuits, muffins, and doughnuts.
Books on breakfast are hard to find for some reason -- it's possible to get a very good idea of what a culture eats for lunch and dinner from a good ethnic cookbook, but breakfast seems to be left out in a great many of them; as a general rule, I believe that if you find a good breakfast book, you should buy it, as there aren't that many out there. Overall, this book is a good breakfast book -- a remarkable tour of the breakfast habits of Americans, with a bounty of interesting and unusual recipes. Anyone who likes to cook breakfast -- at any time of the day -- should have this book.
A lively, fun cookbook........2006-10-15
A Real American Breakfast: The Best Meal of the Day, Any Time of the Day packs in a coast-to-coast feast of nearly three hundred breakfast recipes, offering up a centerfold of color photos and including historical notes, old menus, and variations on themes as well as traditional fare. The mix of innovative dishes such as Spinach Bread Pudding and Mixed Vegetable Hash and old standards such as Apple Fritters makes this a lively, fun cookbook.

Even if you don't like oatmeal.......2006-07-27
This book is for the breakfast lover in you. The oatmeal pudding with vanilla sauce is a masterpiece. Everything I have made has turned out great. I made a coffee cake and no could believe how tasty it was. The flavors linger and your mouth sings. I was amazed at the amount of recipes and the variety in this one book.
not for the everyday family breakfast.......2006-07-27
While this book would be perfect for someone who owns a B&B, its just not practical for weekday mornings for a family of 2! It is very informative, if just a bit snobbish; With the exception of several pictures all together in the middle of the book, it is just black on white, with very small print. Also, unless you have at least a bit of experience, I can imagine it would be frustrating and time intensive. Its probably not the thing for you if you like a "coffee-table" cookbook that allows you to salivate just by looking at the pictures, making it much more likely that you'll try them out.
Book Description
For more than 20 years, Margaret Fox served up some of California's tastiest breakfasts and brunches at her landmark restaurant Café Beaujolais on the Mendocino coast. The original MORNING FOOD shared Fox's legendary dishes and became a comfort food classic. Fully revised with the addition of 30 new recipes, evocative photographs, and a fresh look, the new edition of MORNING FOOD has all the cozy appeal and culinary authority of the original in a charming new package.

Okay, but nothing special.......2007-08-27
This book was okay, but nothing outstanding or special. Same old recipes, no knew twists or things to cook up. On my list of rating from 1 to 5 Stars, with 5 the tops, I give this one about a 2 Star.
Thanks.
One of the best recipe books I own!.......2007-06-05
This book is wonderful! My husband and I love breakfast, and just when I was starting to get bored with fixing the regulars (bacon, eggs, pancakes, etc.) I found this book. Every recipe I've made so far has tasted wonderful! I love the little stories that go with each recipe, knowing the background of what you're cooking makes it more interesting and is fun to tell your guests while you're serving them. I just impressed my friends with the homemade Cinnamon Rolls and the Stinson Beach Blueberry Muffins. I highly recommend this book, whether you're planning on entertaining or just enjoy cooking for yourself!
Get ready to see breakfast in a new light.......2007-06-03
You may think you know what's inside this book simply because it's about "breakfast food," but trust me, you don't. While "Morning Food," by Margaret Fox, does indeed contain many scrumptious recipes for traditional breakfast favorites - waffles, pancakes, muffins - each dish has been crafted into something especially unique and inviting. Hence you find yourself with delicious, easy-to-follow recipes for "Mocha Walnut Wonder Muffins," "Pumpkin & Ginger Pancakes" and "Cindy's Cherry Chocolate-Chip Scones," all delightful twists on old time faves. However, more than this, "Morning Food" suggests dishes that one may not usually associate with early, or even mid, morning meals. I certainly wouldn't have thought to serve "bun bun noodles with spicy peanut sauce" for the first meal of the day, but after taking a chance and following Fox's suggestion I now have a new take on the whole business of morning eating.
"Morning Food" is a beautifully presented, well-bound book with a generous number of photographs and helpful kitchen tips. Fox introduces you to the finer aspects of bread baking and discusses the history of schnapps (brandy distilled from fermented fruits) in approachable, friendly language. Her relaxed, comfortable style teaches you not to worry about mistakes and how to develop a repertoire of favorite dishes. Did those first few crepes not come out as hoped? No problem, freeze them then use the crepes later, cut into strips, as a garnish for soup. In every respect, Fox makes you feel like she's an old friend who has invited you into her kitchen, where she happily shares her hard-won kitchen wisdom.
Chapters include: Cereals & Fruit; Muffins, Cookies & Biscuits; Pancakes, Waffles, French Toast & Crepes; Sandwiches & Soups; Side Dishes & Salads; Spreads, Sauces & Dressings; Entrees; Desserts; and Drinks. My favorite sections include the chapter about Bread & Scones and the Coffee Cakes chapter. Here I found delightful recipes for cinnamon-rolls, cinnamon-raisin bread, poppy seed yeast bread, yogurt coffee cake and chocolate-filled coffee cake. While these recipes may sound familiar, my husband is still raving about them, as are our friends. The yogurt coffee cake was a particular favorite, with people marveling at the subtle flavor and perfect texture - moist, yet firm, with a little give, like the best muffin you've ever had except in cake form. I recommend this book without reservation: if you are breakfast lover, if you enjoy great food, add this one to your collection.
* Note: For the curious, three recipes from this book can be seen on my site. :)
Some good recipes.......2007-05-17
I like a lot of the recipes in this book, but at least half I will probably never make, but all seem to be easy enough for the everyday time restricted cook. A few nice photos add a personal touch the the cookbook.
YUM.......2007-03-14
I love the way this book is written, with side notes and tidbits about how the chef came across each recipe. The dishes are easy to cook for the most part and so far, so good!! Great ideas for food not just breakfast, but dessert and lunch as well. Great cook book all around!!

And there is a nice variety of recipes of tea time foods, that one can prepare for a nice afternoon tea for oneself or friends. I would recommmend this book to anyone who enjoys the pleasure of tea.

Great little Waffle cookbook!.......2005-12-27
Very nice variety of recipes and great tasting waffles!
Waffle Heaven.......2002-10-31
At this point, we have only used a few of the recipies in this book. We generally like to eat healthy, but when we want a "mean and nasty" treat, we grab the waffle maker and this book. We figure that with all the variations in this book, we will have years of variety trying them all.
Nice Variety.......2001-09-26
I like this little cookbook. There is a large variety of recipes in here. There is also a section for waffles with whole grains and waffles with fruit additions. Since I have a belgium waffle maker, I usually have to double the recipes to get more than one waffle. Every time I make waffles I'll use a different recipe from this book, and all of them have turned out tasting great.
Donna Rathmell German Never Fails to Deliver!.......2000-02-01
I recently got a waffle iron, but the recipe included with the appliance was disappointing to say the least. I borrowed this book from the library because I have been very pleased with German's bread machine books and thought I would test some of the recipes to see if the book was worth adding to my collection. I shouldn't have worried! I could have bought it outright and saved myself a little time! We have tried the Sweet Butter Waffles (they are as heavenly as they sound) and the Peanut Butter Waffles (also very yummy and popular with the kids as well). In addition to the fabulous recipes, German also gives detailed information on waffle making in general (how much batter to use, how to tell when the waffle is done, etc.) and how to adapt recipes if you want to make pancakes instead. She even gives you "permission" to just mix everything together at once if you don't want to take the time to separate the egg (and I can tell you from personal experience, the results are just as delicious!) If you love waffles, or if you've always wanted to make them but were too chicken to try, this is the book for you!
Best Waffles we have tasted in a long time. Great selection........1997-03-10
Have tried: Apple Spice Waffles, Orange Waffles, Vanilla waffles, Cinnamon Raisin, and Something with Pecans.Could not find a better book with waffle recipes ANYWHERE

This is my third Williams-Sonoma cookbook. All the recipes are easy to follow with simple ingredients, nothing too exotic. The glossary is also very helpful. The book is not too full as to be overwhelming, but just the right amount with carefully selected dishes. Each recipe is accompanied by a beautiful photo, so you have an idea of how your dish should look like...sort of. I just love all the recipes! I made the coffee cake, and it came out deeeelicious!
I found this book to be quite terrific........1999-12-13
I've made quite a few of the dishes in the book. The authors were able to put together a great combination of dishes that are festive, elegant and definitely tasty. Yet, the recipies don't take much time and aren't complicated. For a novice cook like myself, I found this a perfect way to have fun in the kitchen and have friends over.
