Brunch/Breakfast Cookbook?

I want to get my friend a brunch or breakfast based cookbook, do you guys have any recommendations? I don't want the recipes to be too complicated/fancy. I do know she likes eggs. Thanks!

    1. Williams Sonoma has a book--it's kind of small, though. Pretty pictures and basic recipes.

        1. Marian Cunningham's The Breakfast Book has all kinds of breakfast/brunch recipes.

              Does anyone have Marian Cunningham's The Breakfast Book? I'm thinking of buying this book for my mother. What are the results of her food like?

              • "A Real American Breakfast" by Cheryl Alters Jamison and Bill Jamison has simple recipes as well as complicated/fancy ones. Nice book.

                    I really like that Jamison book. Another one is The Big Book of Breakfasts. That one has lots of ideas for breakfast for a group, like egg casseroles and pancakes and things. Not sure if you're looking for that or for something smaller scale.

                    I do think the Jamison book is a winner.

                      2. Morning Food by Margaret Fox of Cafe Beaujolais in Mendocino, CA.
                        This book is full of delicious recipes and her approach is that as long as the ingredients are "breakfasty", you can make whatever you like for breakfast.
                        It truly is a delightful read, the sidebars alone are worth seeking out.
                        Seriously, this woman made me want to cook for a living.
