A fun & informative cookbook. In exploring this author's books I found she tends to repeat recipes. A dozen or so recipes in this book were previously published. But they were good choices for this book on breakfast & brunch. I particularly enjoyed the Kentucky Derby lore & recipes. The best chapter (IMO) was 'Eye Openers', which offered recipes for 20+ classic morning cocktails. Overall, this book was worthwhile and I'm sure to refer back to it. I'm torn between rating it 3 and 4 stars.
