Clinton St. Baking Company Cookbook: Breakfast, Brunch & Beyond from New York's Favorite Neighborhood Restaurant: member book reviews

(1 review)

One of the things I like about this book is that most of the recipes serve 2-4, except of course the muffins and desserts. Even though this is a cookbook of recipes from the restaurant, the authors have scaled down the recipes for home cooks. Clinton St. Baking company is known in NY for it's fabulous breakfasts and brunches. This book contains wonderful recipes as the sub title states for breakfast, brunch and beyond.

I haven't found many really great breakfast books but this one fits that category right up there with Mollie Katzen's Sunlight Cafe. I've tried several of the recipes and look forward to trying more.

Another thing I like about this book is that there is dialog along with every recipe. There is a little writing about the recipe included with every one. If you like some stories, tips or some behind the looks at the how and why's of the recipes, like how they came to be, or why they are included on the menu, then you'll get a bit of interesting reading here. The introduction is also very interesting, it's called Love and Butter and is the story of how the authors met and came to own Clinton St. Baking.

If you want a good breakfast and brunch book then check this one out. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
