Breakfast (Williams-Sonoma Collection N.Y.)

I love to cook breakfast for people. There is something intimate and family-like about sharing your morning with those that you love while serving them delicious comfort food made from scratch. The odd thing is, although I really enjoy breakfast food, I don't like to eat anything in the morning. Fortunately, this makes it easier for me to cook and serve everyone as I don't have to take the time to sit and eat the food that I make. I have many Williams-Sonoma cookbooks and I enjoy and use them all. This one is no exception; it is well thought out, expertly designed, beautifully photographed, and professionally printed. One thing to keep in mind though: this is not the kind of breakfast that most people want to or should eat on a daily basis. Many of the recipes have plenty of calories, fat and salt. The Introduction even mentions that these recipes were designed with a weekend breakfast or a leisurely Sunday Brunch in mind. The book contains the following chapters and recipes: * THE CLASSIC - Perfect Fried Eggs; Cheddar Cheese and Green Onion Omelet; French Toast; Eggs Benedict; Oatmeal with Dried Fruit and Brown Sugar; Buttermilk Waffles; Homemade Granola * PANCAKES AND WAFFLES - Belgian Waffles with Whipped Cream and Strawberries; Pumpkin-Pecan Waffles with Maple-Cranberry Butter; Blueberry Pancakes; German Apple Pancake; Swedish Pancake; Ginger-Pear Pancakes * EGGS - Souffleed Omelet with Fines Herbes; Asparagus and Gruyere Omelet; Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon and Avocado; Coddled Eggs with Chives and Cream; Soft-Boiled Eggs with Toast Strips; Chicken Sausage, Sun-Dried Tomato, and Zucchini Frittata, Huevos Rancheros, Shirred Eggs with Spinach and Crisp Bread Crumbs * BREAKFAST SIDES - Home Fries with Red and Green Bell Peppers; Lacy Hash Browns; Red Flannel Hash; Polentina with Bananas and Maple Syrup; Roasted Tomatoes; Citrus, Strawberry, and Pomegranate Salad; Melon Salad with Yogurt-Honey Dressing * MORNING BREADS - Cranberry-Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Streusel Topping; Cinnamon Rolls; Blueberry Muffins; Classic Baking-Powder Biscuits; Almond-Currant Scones; Banana-Raisin Bread; Brioche * WEEKEND BRUNCH - Cherry-Cheese Blintzes; Wild Mushroom Quiche; Goat Cheese and Spanish Ham Souffle; Focaccia with Smoked Salmon and Creme Fraiche; Pepper Jack and Jalapeño Spoonbread; Broccoli Rabe, Pesto, and Smoked Mozzarella Strata; Prune and Armagnac Clafoutis * BREAKFAST BASICS - Tips, tools and techniques are explained and recipes are given for several Breakfast Toppings and Spreads I find these recipes to be expertly written and the directions to be flawlessly described. I have tried many of them and they all produced wonderful, delicious results. One thing to be clear about though: if you are looking for cutting edge, usual or gourmet fusion-type recipes, you won't find them here. This book contains some updated versions of mostly classic dishes that are sure to please most people regardless of how sophisticated their palate is, or isn't. The photography, by Maren Caruso, is excellent. Both the lighting and the sets are simple and not overly contrived, yet the results are extremely appetizing. Ms. Caruso uses the ever-popular "very shallow depth of field" technique but executes it precisely and with great skill. This book would be an appropriate wedding gift for a young couple. I would also use it as a creative hostess gift. However, if you are looking for a book to challenge the most ardent foodie, there are better titles. Williams-Sonoma Breakfast is an excellent little cookbook that I will be referring to frequently.

I was looking for a nice book specifically with breakfast recipes. This book has good pictures, logical content and pretty well written recipes. Though my family doesn’t want to cook something from these recipes on their own.😅

Beautiful book with easy tasty recipes and the eye candy to go with it. Book lays relitively flat so it is easy to stay on the page you are using. I already own two other William-Sanoma books; Salads and Pies. My favorite is the Celery Root Remoulade, simple, easy to make, delicous and it sounds fancy. In the pie book I have used butter pie crust, apple crumb cake, yum.

This little book has become my little go to guide for breakfast ideas. I was simply tired of making the same old boring breakfast and was looking for a recipe book that gives simple instructions with delicious outcomes and this book does not fail. Beautiful pictures accompany each recipe and I am half way through trying out the recipes. So far I love the Green Onion Omelet and the Apple Pancake recipe. Even though I have been cooking for years and I have made fried eggs for what seem like a life time this book has helped me perfect my skills in frying eggs. I was so enthused by this book that I immediately went and purchased Grilling and Mexican by Williams-Sonoma. I cannot wait to get my newly purchased books in the mail to try out the recipes and to perfect my cooking skills further. Your guests and or family members will be licking their chops and will be asking for more.

Good recipes and good pictures but not near as useful as the other Williams-Sonoma cookbooks I have. I have always been very pleased with Williams-Sonoma and have several from this line of cookbooks. There aren't as many recipes in this book as I would expect and several of the recipes in this book are pretty common recipes. If you can get the book cheap, it's probably worth it, otherwise skip it.

I love this series of cookbooks. I own most of them and they are fantastic. The recipes are fantastic and I love that each recipe has a beautiful picture to accompany it. The recipes are written simply and are easy to follow, even when making some not so simple dishes! I own this Breakfast book and ordered another one to give to my employer for her birthday. She LOVED it! She made 2 of the recipes within a day of receiving it and I'll be making 2 dishes from this book this week. Can't wait to have brunch for dinner :)

I love these WS cookbooks and this one is no exception. Fantastic recipes! The huevos rancheros are now a weekend staple at my house, with him saying every time, "this is the greatest breakfast I've ever had." Can't beat that praise! Also the waffles and french toast are a big hit. And this book is so helpful with instructions I've mastered the art of eggs (frying, sunny side up) to everyone's liking. Informative and delicious!

I love this book! The waffle recipe page of my book has oil splat and batter all over it from repeated use! I use this book a lot! I've gotten great compliments on my waffles, hollandaise sauce, omelettes, and more! All the recipes are expertly measured and tested. I've never had a problem with the proportions. I've hosted some real swanky brunches with this book! I highly recommend it if you're big on breakfast like me.

Sìl y a yn livre que je sorts pour mes recettes de déjeuner, c'est celui-ci. J'y reviens toujours. Les recette sont bien choisies et juste. Bravo.

Me encantan los libros de William Sonoma y sus fotografías Se me antoja todo

Wir haben dieses Buch als Geschenk gekauft und haben damit einen Volltreffer gelandet. Der Beschenkte ist ein großer Frühstücksfreund und war ganz begeistert. Das Buch ist etwas dünner als erwartet, aber sehr ansprechend gestaltet. Bisher sind wir noch nicht in den Genuss eines nach diesen Rezepten gezauberten Frühstücks gekommen, aber wir freuen uns schon sehr darauf.

Great breakfast ideas

アメリカで高級キッチン用品店として有名なwilliams-sonoma。 テレビで料理家がここのブランドの物を使用しているのを度々みかけます。 私が今回購入するきっかけになったのが、アメリカで食べたエッグベネディクトが忘れられなかったからです。 表紙そのものにエッグベネディクトが使われてて、しかもwilliams-sonomaの料理本ということで 購入しました。 もちろん英文ですが、辞書片手で大丈夫だと思います。 レシピの説明そのものは詳しくはありませんので、料理上手な方向きであると思います。 まだエッグベネディクトしか作っていませんが、そこそこの物が出来ました。 朝食用の料理ばかりですので、難しいものは基本ありません。
