Summary: Starting the Day off Right
Comment: "A Real American Breakfast" is also a Real cookbook. The recipes are delightfully varied, drawing from our country's diverse heritage, and are also geared for busy cooks. They are quick and uncomplicated, as breakfast cooking should be, using easily obtainable ingredients. A quick thumb through the cookbook inspires one to get up a little earlier and fire up the stove with delicious results all but guaranteed. An excellent, fresh approach to America's forgotten meal by two of the best cookbook writers today.

Summary: Very Good
Comment: This cookbook has recipes from across America. It has recipes that are the old traditional such as pancakes and runs the gamut to recipes from various parts of the country.

The recipes do not generally call for any out of the ordinary ingredients, they are easy to follow and the end results of every recipe I have tried turns out great.

The pictures are lovely. The pages are uncluttered and easy to read. However, I particularly like that there are sidebars with interesting facts, menus from eating establishments say from the 1940's, etc. It makes for an interesting read as well as a nice cookbook.

This is the cookbook I regularly turn to when picking out what I'm going to make for breakfast. It is well worth the money.

Enjoy.

Summary: An inspiring collection
Comment: Most breakfast cookbooks are top-heavy with variations on the usual: lots of waffles, omelets, home fries, and muffins. This one is unique, because it collects a set of recipes you *wouldn't* have thought up on your own.

For instance, it's the only book in which I've found a recipe for goldenrod eggs (hard boiled eggs in a cream sauce, served over toast, with grated egg yolks and paprika sprinkled on top) except for a 1942 WWII-era pamphlet my mom had. It's the only recipe I've found for dutch baby pancakes -- sort of a cross between a pancake and a sweetened popover, traditionally served with lemon and maybe a sprinkling of confectioner's sugar.

Aside from completeness, the recipes are clearly written, entertaining (with sidebars that include breakfast menus from, say, a 1904 hotel menu), and educational.

I have at least three or four breakfast cookbooks. This is the only one I use regularly.
