With ninety recipes to choose from, Jesse Ziff Cool, overseeing chef and owner of Flea St. Cafe in Menlo Park, California, reminds us just how important it is to treat ourselves right. Call it indulgence, but this simple attention to self is guaranteed to start any day off right. Nurture yourself and your loved one with comfort foods like Real Corned Beef Hash or Old-Fashioned Bread and Butter Pudding - every bit as good, maybe even better, savored in the morning than at night. Omelets and frittatas, pancakes and waffles, and marvelous side dishes like Scalloped Potatoes will tempt you. Let the singular aroma of homemade baked goods - Cinnamon-Brown Sugar Drop Biscuits or Bacon, Cheddar, and Parsley Soda Bread, to name only two - infiltrate and disarm your house, your loved one, and yourself. Or, serve up one of Jesse Ziff Cool's special breakfast menus. Twenty-six exquisite four-color photographs prove how appealing breakfast under the covers can be.
This collection investigates the potential for breakfast to serve as a restorative ritual through ninety diverse, comfort-focused recipes. Chef Jesse Ziff Cool, proprietor of the Flea St. Cafe, leverages her professional culinary background to argue that morning meals should be treated as an act of self-care rather than a rushed necessity. The book provides a structured approach to elevating the first meal of the day, emphasizing the sensory experience of home-cooked food and the psychological benefits of intentional morning indulgence.
