Synopsis

Rise and shine, it’s breakfast time! If you think the smell of bacon and hot coffee wafting from a warm kitchen is a thing of the past, then bring back the bounty of breakfast with RETRO BREAKFAST: MEMORABLE MEALS MORNING, NOON, OR NIGHT. From the coffee-stained pages of classic American cookbooks to recipes handed down from memory, Linda Everett and Richard Perry bring us the best of breakfast from rural Washington State to down-home Alabama. More than 120 recipes capture classic tastes of the most important meal of the day, including Okanogan Omelet, Lulu’s Café Home Fries, Castlerock Blueberry Griddle Cakes, and Southern Exposure Sweet Potato Biscuits. Featuring nostalgic images that will encourage you to wake up and eat no matter what time of day, this Retro guide is sure to make anyone an early riser.

From Publishers Weekly:

Throwing calorie-counting caution to the wind, this newest installment of the Collectors Press’s Retro series takes readers back to a time before early morning conference calls and instant coffee, when breakfast really was the most important meal of the day. Complete with nostalgic illustrations and classic advertisements, the book offers more than 125 recipes that recall how nice it was when everyday breakfast consisted of omelets, flapjacks and oatmeal. Time-tested standards like Heart ‘N’ Soul Biscuits ‘N’ Gravy and guilty pleasures like New Hampshire Fried Apples are the primary fare here. Those who can’t bear to break their diets will be relieved to find a few lighter dishes like Berkeley Health Bars. Some readers may be annoyed to find that the book’s heartwarming retro pictures and corny slogans don’t always match up with the recipes printed beside them, and vegetarians may get frustrated by the many references to bacon, ham and sausage. But fans of hearty fare should be pleased with this volume, and, as the authors would have us remember, there’s always room for breakfast at the dinner table.
