All-Time Best Brunch

Everything that makes brunch great is also what makes it tricky to prepare at home. From just-set eggs to high-flying popovers to rich (not soggy) strata, it’s challenging to get every element just right. Enter this fresh collection of 75 foolproof recipes that guarantee a perfectly executed brunch every time. You’ll find inventive takes on brunch classics (our Huevos Rancheros delivers a whole meal from one baking sheet), helpful make-ahead options (you can freeze our Quick Coffee Cake unbaked for up to a month), and easy approaches to finicky favorites (our 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.

All-Time Best Brunch is part of a special six-set series of focused recipe collections showcasing the best of the best. Each hardcover book is filled with foolproof recipes handpicked from a quarter-century of Cook's Illustrated magazine as well as expert testing information, tips from the test kitchen, and beautiful full-color photography. Alone or as a set, they make a great gift.
