Description

What is brunch? I will answer you: it is a late breakfast or a hurried lunch. It is a festive meal. One can enjoy it from morning until late afternoon, combining savory and sweet flavors, juices, and even favorite cocktails.

When I started working on this book, my goal was to create the ultimate guide for a well-prepared brunch and to prove that – this specific meal – can be "homemade," particularly delicious, filling, and nutritious. It’s all about choices, and there are many at brunch!

The best part? It is a meal that can combine more than one culinary culture, with freshly baked French croissants, handmade Greek pies, fluffy American donuts – and many other favorite foods – existing harmoniously together.

And this is where the magic lies: brunch is a meal without rules. Without hours. Without specific flavors, but with countless variations and many secrets! You will find these within the pages of the book you hold in your hands.

The next step? To bring them into your kitchen and elevate not just brunch, but also breakfast, lunch, snacks, or… your dinner to another dimension. Because, you see, brunch holds within it the tastiest elements of every meal. Let’s discover them together…

Read an excerpt

Really, how much did we need another meal in our lives? As it turns out, a lot. Not so much for the meal itself, but for what it represents. But let's start from the beginning... When the British writer Guy Beringer wrote an article about brunch in 1895, he surely could not have imagined that his idea for a lighter meal than the traditional Sunday lunch would find such enthusiastic supporters. Over time, this idea began to mature and move away from the British shores, until in 1920 it reached America and from there most parts of the world. SO, WHAT IS BRUNCH? A later breakfast and an earlier lunch, I would answer. It is the reason we can stay up late without the stress of catching breakfast the next day. It is the reason we love Sunday mornings, which we can now enjoy from Saturday morning (and even on weekdays, if our schedule allows).
