Confronted with tall rows upon tall rows of beautiful cook books in Chapters , I panicked. After a few deep breaths, I refocused and spotted this book. This is one that I do not have: a book about breakfast and possibly brunch. I snapped it up as I do want to recreate the delicious brunch I had in Toronto.
I was suitably rewarded. The book covers all bases: quick breakfast inspirations (halved banana drenched with syrup and chopped nuts) to savoury dishes (the traditional egg benedict, sexy gravlax with parmesan sheets) to sweet treats (muffins, pancakes and bread).
The book is decorated with beautiful photographs for each recipe. I tried a few already. Their blueberry muffins are gorgeous: their texture supple instead of spongy. Their cheese and herb corn bread is moist, savoury and, well, herby. Excellent to be had with the suggested scrambled egg or, as I tried, mustard-coated roast chicken with gravy. Their blueberry pancakes are fragrant and fluffy with the use of bananas. The chocolate muffin with cappuccino top? Delicious with its enticing coffee fragrance, moist texture, and just-enough sweetness. My husband, the hater of all things sweet (except me of course), can't decide whether he likes the blueberry or coffee muffins better.
A great joy to have for endless breakfast and brunch inspiration.
