In the nearly ninety years since Irma S. Rombauer self-published the first three thousand copies of Joy of Cooking in 1931, it has become the kitchen bible, with more than 20 million copies in print. This new edition of Joy has been thoroughly revised and expanded by Irma’s great-grandson John Becker and his wife, Megan Scott.

This new edition of Joy is the perfect combination of classic recipes, new dishes, and indispensable reference information for today’s home cooks. Whether it is the only cookbook on your shelf or one of many, Joy is and has been the essential and trusted guide for home cooks for almost a century. This new edition continues that legacy.

Long, lazy breakfasts and brunches have become the hottest meal of the week. In Breakfast: Morning, Noon and Night, Fern Green encourages readers to enjoy their most-loved meal at any time of the day. Covering all the morning favorites, and often adding an indulgent or inspired twist, she shares recipes for sweet and savory dishes that you won't be able to confine to just the morning hours. Simple but satisfying, and super easy to prepare, these recipes will suit any time of day.

Try smoked salmon and eggs served with quinoa crackers, apple, sorrel and crispy capers; cheese on toast gets upgraded to griddled halloumi served with basil, tomato and ciabatta; and waffles get a delicious side of maple and blueberry butter. Fern also takes inspiration from breakfasts with more exotic flavor combinations, such as the Adai Indian crêpe with coconut chutney, and Mexican corn and zucchini hash with fried egg.

These mouth-watering dishes show how you can make breakfast favorites work at any time of the day: serve bacon and egg puffs as a canapé, the breakfast burger for a lunch gathering, and fruit muffins as afternoon tea. Banana pancakes double as a delectable dessert, and eggs with black-eyed beans and salsa are the perfect dinner for one. This book really will be indispensible for morning, noon or night.
