review 1: This is a beautiful photo-ladened cookbook that features breakfast and brunch foods, including desserts and cocktails. The recipes are clear and easy to follow (though perhaps a bit more complex than those found in the average community group cookbook) and use ingredients, which if not regular pantry staples at my house, are things my husband could locate at our normal grocery store. Clinton St. Baking Company Cookbook: Breakfast, Brunch & Beyond from New York's Favorite Neighborhood Restaurant would make a lovely Christmas gift for someone who enjoys making breakfast or brunch a special meal.
review 2: I won this book on goodreads. What a gift!I really like this cookbook for lots of reasons. First, the photography is great. It is simple and honest plus I
... morelike how it really shows the texture of the foods. It is also enticing. I want to eat most of what they photograph!The narratives that introduce each chapter are interesting and filled with tips. Plus, it is fun to read about the relationship the chef and owner has with each category of food.The recipes itself are do not call for an outrageous or difficult ingredients. I appreciate this quality the most. I love to bake and recipes intrigue me but those unusual and hard to find ingredients can really be costly and can be difficult to find. The recipes also have some very helpful and descriptive notes that make the baking or cooking of these items that much easier I also like how they often add a "restaurant trick" category of notes. They offer neat tricks and sometimes explain some of the science behind the baking/cooking.As a vegetarian I really liked that my type of foods were well represented and many of the recipes seem to be adjustable for my liking. I also loved that condiment recipes are offered. I own a lot of cookbooks and this is very unique. I can't wait to make the guacamole!Lastly, yum! Delicious recipes. But where can I find the adorable European baking cups? less
