A Collection of Recipes for Morning Meals

Oct 31, 2009

An inspiring morning meal cookbook filled with recipes for making a delicious breakfast.

Stonewall Kitchen Breakfast, by Jonathan King, Jim Stott & Kathy Gunst, is an inspiring recipe book of breakfast ideas for both lingering and rushed morning meals.

Muffins, Scones and Coffee Cake

The opening chapter has some delicious offerings for those on the go who like a quick bite of something filling and sweet. Try Carrot Cake Muffins with Cream Cheese-Walnut Spread, Apple and Apricot Buttermilk Scones or Coconut-Orange-Pecan Coffee Cake for some make-ahead goods that will lend a satisfying start to the day.

Fruit Dishes

Get the daily fruit requirement out of the way early by having a fruit salad or smoothie in the morning. Breakfast offers a Berry Salad with Mint Syrup recipe (with a tropical fruit variation) that will appeal to those with a morning sweet tooth. The smoothie section includes a creamy maple-flavored variety for a bit of early-morning comfort.

Granola and Cereal Bars

For the perfect granola, try making it at home to find the best balance of sweet and nut. The basic recipe is included, along with some variations sure to appeal to even a finicky breakfast eater. Or follow the instructions for making granola bars, by pressing the mixture into a greased pan, baking, then cutting into perfect on-the-go bites.

Egg Dishes

One of the larger chapters in the book, the egg dish recipes are great for mornings (or evenings) when a bite of warm protein is more appealing than sweets. Try the Smoked Salmon and Arugula Benedict, Eggs Baked in Pancetta Cups or Breakfast Crab Cakes for a savory bite.

Breakfast Sandwiches, Salad and Pizza

Pizza for breakfast? This one gets the whole breakfast onto a pie with a savory crust topped with bacon, tomatoes, cheese, basil, eggs and seasoning. Great for a hearty breakfast that could be served on-the-go (or back in bed).

Pancakes, French Toast and Waffles

Everybody's favorites, these sweet morning delights spell long, slow morning without having to get dressed and go out. Try Breakfast Corn Fritters, Sweet & Savory Blintzes, or Chocolate Waffles with Chocolate-Maple Sauce.

Breakfast Side Dishes

Don't ignore the accompaniments that make a simple breakfast seem extraordinary. Ideas include Roasted Sweet Potato Home Fries, Turkey and Sage Sausage Patties, and Chorizo Hash.

Drinks

No breakfast book is complete without a decadent hot chocolate recipe, and Breakfast includes one for Thick Double-Chocolate Cocoa that is sure to please. There are also Stonewall Bloodys or Blood Orange Mimosas for those days when something a little non-chocolaty is in order.

Summary

This hard-cover book is loaded with inspiring photographs of the recipes, which put one in the mood to invite a few friends over for brunch, or to offer something elegant in the morning for weekend guests. A good book for the frequent entertainer, or family who loves to hang around in pajamas as long as possible.
