Breakfast—we're told it's the most important meal of the day. But for many, breakfast means stumbling out the door with just a mug of coffee and a muffin. Although this might suffice once in awhile, more variety is necessary—to keep people both healthy and interested. The Culinary Institute of America has assembled more than 175 recipes that will ensure a nutritious, satisfying, and delicious breakfast or brunch.

Whether you are looking for new or familiar breakfast and brunch recipes, you'll find them all in The Culinary Institute of America Breakfasts & Brunches. They've included everything from beverages, breads, and pastries, to breakfast and brunch standards like pancakes, crêpes, waffles, and eggs.

Breakfasts & Brunches is divided into nine sensible chapters.
