Breakfast: Recipes to Wake Up For [Hardcover]

A delicious ode to morning foods, featuring eggs, biscuits, meats, and pancakes you’ll want to start every day with. Breakfast brings beauty and enthusiasm to the morning meal. George Weld draws on his passion and Southern roots to create the fresh, satisfying dishes his Williamsburg restaurant, Egg, has been serving for ten years. Breakfast begins with simple techniques that transform familiar ingredients into transcendent meals. A pantry section shows the ingredients to have on hand for whipping up delicious morning meals. Following are recipes for eggs (including the restaurant’s signature Eggs Rothko), grains, meats, produce, sauces and syrups, juices, and pastries. Among the beloved recipes from Egg’s kitchen are dishes adapted for meals at any hour, such as salads with eggs and smoked fish, fried chicken and biscuits, and toast with greens. Running through the book are contributions from farmers, fishermen, and athletes on the nourishing meals they fuel themselves with in the morning. Accompanied by images from Weld’s own farm (which supplies Egg with many of its ingredients), this book will make breakfast the meal you dream about at night, and the most anticipated part of your morning. These days, George Weld and Evan Hanczor, the farmer/restaurateur and chef behind Willamsburg’s Egg eatery, are serving up more than just scrumptious concoctions like Eggs Rothko or Grafton cheddar omelets with broiled tomatoes. Authors of the newly releasedBreakfast, they are now offering menus and ideas. The book, they say, 'is ourbest argument for waking upand making something delicious for breakfast.' And what better way to start the day than at Egg, or with one? -Vogue
