Customer Reviews

Useless

I will simply put this in the trash... It seemed to have had water/moisture damage pages were stuck together, much damage to the book . . I could not open them. Also from what I did observe there were NO pictures. My expectations were of a nice book with picture examples of the finished items. Breakfast recipes are hard to find so I mistakenly ordered this. Wish I had not !

A Classic

I purchased this book after seeing an old episode of Cooking with Julie in which the author appeared. This will always stay in my collection of books as it is a tome of old fashioned and wholesome recipes.

Breakfast recipes for everyone

Marion Cunningham taps into everyone's nostalgia for breakfast foods beyond cereal or scrambled eggs. The recipes are straightforward and feature a wide variety of tastes and types. Ms. Cunnigham's book reads as if she was a favorite aunt sharing her recipes. Cunnigham also edited the new edition of Fannie Farmer's time-honored cookbook; she is a thoughtful writer and has a keen sense of how food fits into our modern lives. Her recipes are varied and you're sure to find something that you've never tried before but might want to. A real pleasure and the 1 book you might want to have in your cookbook collection for breakfast. PS - The recipe for Cream Biscuits (attributed to James Beard is a real winner and unbelievably simple to make. Enjoy!

The Best!

This cookbook is fabulous. I have given as gifts numerous times, and have been told by each recipient that it is the favorite cookbook! I have even bought this cookbook used to give as a gift when it was out of print for awhile! The pancakes and waffles are terrific, and the other recipes are great, lots of new and old things to try. I am a collector and I have one thing to say: Buy it! This is a must have cookbook!

Here Here! This book is A-OK

I just loved the fantastic recipes. Easy as pie to follow, yet the dishes turn out restaurant quality. My husband says this is the best eating since our bed and breakfast tour of Sonoma/Napa.

Best recipes using ingredients from your shelves!

This book is my new bible for everything from the best biscuits my husband has had since his mother's to baking mini bundt cakes for gifts that are moist, delicious and use ingredients I already have in my kitchen cupboards! I have yet to make a bad receipe from this book. Some of the main dishes can subsitute for a light supper! Hats Off To A Job Well Done!
