All-Time Best Brunch & All-Time Best Dinners for Two
September 13, 2018 by JennyThe editors of Cook’s Illustrated Magazine have meals covered for any time of the day in two of their latest releases: All-Time Best Brunch and All-Time Best Dinners for Two.
All-Time Best Brunch delivers a well-tested recipe collection that features inventive takes on brunch classics (Huevos Rancheros delivers a whole meal from one sheet pan), helpful make-ahead options (you can freeze the Quick coffee cake unbaked for up to a month), and easy approaches to finicky favorites (Eggs Benedict offers a hollandaise that holds without breaking and a streamlined egg poaching technique). A smart chapter organization makes it easy to assemble a menu to create your perfect brunch, whether casual or fancy, large or small.
I utilized two of the recipes in the book to make a scrumptious French toast – the basic French toast recipe was married with the pecan rum but adapted into a peach pecan French toast made with my own homemade peach jam.
