Rating: Summary: A Real American Breakfast Review: The Jamison's have done it again. They have another hit book about food. Notice I didn't call it a cookbook. It surely is a cookbook but it is so much more. This book is a blend of great recipes, nostalgia, and beautiful pictures. This brings you back to a time in our lives when we ate breakfast as a family instead of a fast food drive through. Those smells that you used to wake up too seem to resonate from the pages. The recipes have been good for me to get my family together for those week end breakfasts once again. Also, we have week end guests quiet often and it is so nice to have such a variety of recipes to choose from vs the usual breakfast stand bys. In this time when we all seem to be sreaching for comfort foods, this is the best cookbook I have found.
Rating: Summary: Very Good Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: Breakfast is only a beginning with this wonderful collection Review: What a winner this is! The recipies are great ... and can be used for any meal. Particularly enjoyed the Charleston grits and shrimp and the laquered bacon. Another part of fun is that it gets everyone at the table talking about their own growing-up breakfasts and favorite or unusual breakfasts we've experienced. Looking forward to some more adventures in "A Real American Breakfast".
