From corn flakes to pancakes, Breakfast: A History explores this “most important meal of the day” as a social and gastronomic phenomenon. It explains how and why the meal emerged, what is eaten commonly in this meal across the globe, why certain foods are considered indispensable, and how it has been depicted in art and media. Heather Arndt Anderson’s detail-rich, culturally revealing, and entertaining narrative thoroughly satisfies.

What a great book for breakfast lovers!
Anderson’s book is a wonderfully written journey through the history of breakfast. If you are a breakfast lover (like me), or you have a close friend or spouse who is, this is a great gift!

A Delicious Breakfast
Ms. Anderson presents a history of “the most important meal of the day” from antiquity to the present, highlighting the interesting stories behind what we do and what we no longer do. Did you know the ancient Greeks ate donuts? Do you know what they dipped them in? It wasn’t coffee or tea. Ms. Anderson seasons her history with the perfect mixture of facts, quotations, and witticisms designed to keep the reader both educated and entertained. Her research alone is astounding, but her writing organization and wit are the icings on the cake.I cannot imagine a better book on the topic. Foodies will rejoice to devour this delectable discovery!

Tasty & Thought Provoking
Such a relief to read some real history and casual perspective on one of my three favorite meals. Love it. Reading it in bursts and just flipping through it for inspiration at brunch time. Good stuff!
