Brunch

Making time for brunch is a delight and an indulgence. Not quite a main meal, yet definitely much more than a hurried breakfast. The recipes in this book will suit all tastes. Classic dishes such as Eggs Benedict and American Pancakes with Grilled Bacon feature alongside other exciting brunch ideas from around the world, such as Scottish Morning Rolls and Caramelized Apricots with Pain Perdu. Planning and preparing for brunch needn't be a daunting task. Concentrate on fresh ingredients and uncomplicated combinations of flavour and you can't go wrong. Spicy Sausage and Cheese Tortilla, Toad-in-the-hole and Bubble and Squeak couldn't be easier - or tastier. Baking for breakfast doesn't have to be overly time-consuming, either, as quick and easy recipes for Fresh Blueberry Muffins and Irish Griddle Scones will show. Brunch is the perfect opportunity to take time out and enjoy good food, simply prepared. Based on wonderful ingredients, minimal fuss and lots of imagination and flair, the recipes in this book are just the reason you need to combine breakfast and lunch in one delicious, leisurely meal.
