Notes about Recipes in this book

• Best-ever scrambled eggs

  • kbrooks on January 03, 2026

    Perfect creamy soft scrambled eggs.

• Souffléd eggs with ricotta, spinach, and pancetta

  • kbrooks on May 11, 2026

    This didn't go as planned. I started putting this together, knowing I didn't have pancetta and thinking I had ricotta. Planned on subbing prosciutto for the pancetta only to find that I was out of that too! Okay, so I fried up bacon to use instead. When it came time to make the custard, uh oh, no ricotta! So I substituted plain Greek yogurt and a handful of finely grated parmigiana reggiano. Luckily I had the rest of the ingredients. My Frankenstein version of this recipe turned out quite delicious! I will make this again, only with all the correct ingredients. First, however, I need to go to the market!

• Summer berries with lemon crème fraîche

  • kbrooks on April 27, 2026

    Made this as a side with sourdough waffles and crisp bacon, using gorgeous strawberries from our farmers market. Be sure to make the lemon creme fraiche well ahead of serving time for the flavors to develop. Because our strawberries were so perfect, I reduced the amount of creme that was drizzled over them so as not to overwhelm their flavor. Definitely will make this with all available kinds of berries throughout this Spring and Summer.

• Skillet-roasted potatoes with mushrooms with pancetta

  • kbrooks on January 03, 2026

    The pancetta and thyme make this a really flavorful potato dish. Don't cut back on the garlic, even tho' it seems like a lot. The garlic melts into the potatoes and mushrooms beautifully and blends in with the flavors. Definite repeater. Served it with the Best Ever Scrambled Eggs recipe from this book.

• All Roads Lead to the Kitchen

  Although a small book, it packs a punch. It has photos good enough to eat and menu-planning suggestions. ...I'm a fan of brunch, so I enjoyed this book. I think it would make a great hostess gift.
