Customer Reviews

One of the best recipe books I own!

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!

Mendocino's Best Breakfast

This is a wonderful, yet surprisingly simple, breakfast cookbook. One would not want to peruse a lengthy tome at 8:00AM anyway, so this one fits the bill. I tried several recipes during the recent holidays and was pleased with all of them. Ms. Fox also reveals a subtle sense of humor within her instructions, making it a little more fun to cook for company while trying to wake up enough to read them correctly. I recommend this cookbook for all levels of expertise or lack thereof, as it is reliable and well-written. Ms. Fox braved a tourist destination restaurant for many years and still has something to give - amazing !

Breakfast a la Margaret Fox's way is now my favorite meal!

Margaret's very personal cookbook is a joy to read, not just to cook from. For a newly-minted breakfast lover (diabetes convinced me of the need for... and joys of breakfast) finding all these unique recipes has expanded my ideas of what breakfast can be. So far I've fallen in love with the Sunday pancake, Sausage stuffed baked apples, and Passed-its-prime fruit. And I've only had this cookbook since Christmas! Margaret, I'm in love with your stories, your wit, and the absolutely wonderful foods you've brought into my life. Suetoo(tampa)

Margaret Fox is back with a great new cook book

I am so pleased with Margaret Fox's new edition of her Morning Food book. I have used that book over many years and it is the source of my favorite dessert, Buttermilk Cinnamon Coffee Cake, a guaranteed hit with company. This is included in the new edition as well a wealth of new recipes. The book is delightful, with Margaret's comments on each page. The book is full of colors which enhance the enticing recipes. I can't wait to start cooking.

This Cookbook of the Year Makes Holiday Gift Giving Easy & Breakfast Delicious

I love this book! I found the recipes fantastic, easy to use, inspirational and requiring a variety of widely available ingredients in combinations that result in incredible and delicious dishes. I was motivated to use the recipes, and felt completely competent doing so! I am eternally grateful that Fox's definition of morning food includes black bean chili, blintzes, quesadillas and coffee cake! I'm not a morning person, but I love Morning Food. Fox's directions are easy to follow and her comments very funny. What a find! It will be a staple of my holiday gift giving.
