Country Breakfasts: Four Seasons of Cozy Morning Meals

Winner of the Julia Child Cookbook Award, the author presents an inspired collection of original breakfast dishes that celebrate each season of the year. Greet an April morning with Spring Herb Omelets; Lemon Cornmeal Shortcakes; or Olive Cream Cheese,Egg, and Avocado on Toast. Summer mornings light up with Sparkling Strawberries and Grapefruit accompanied by delicate Crepes with Cherry Preserves and Toasted Almonds, or a mouthwatering Pear and Feta Cheese Baguette. Chilly autumn days begin beautifully with Banana Walnut Muffins and Eggs Creole, or, for hearty appetites, Open-Face Steak Sandwiches with Roquefort or Rarebit Breakfast Rubens. Cold winter mornings heat up quickly with steaming mugs of hot cocoa and savory Bacon, Egg, and Potato Pie; Maple-Pecan baked Squash; Roast Beef Hash; or Baked Ham and Turkey Loaf, topped off with a delicate Vanilla Bean Custard or Cranberry Orange Bread Pudding.
