Customer Reviews

Nice variety

I'd really give this more like 4.5 stars. I've had this cookbook for years, and it has a nice variety of brunch dishes, from pancakes and eggs to cereals and salads. The breakfast polenta is delicious.

Outstanding selection of morning food items

If you've ever wanted a cookbook that explains simply and easily all the basics for breakfast preparation then this is the book for you! Full of wonderful color pictures and easy to follow recipes the Breakfast and Brunch cookbook by Norman Kolpas has something to whet every appetite. He has the exotic such as buckwheat blini and Orange Hollandaise Sauce to the simple like poached eggs and Swiss Muesli. I wanted to start fixing breakfast for dinner after reading through this book!

Williams-Sonoma Cookbooks Are Great!

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.

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.
