Can there possibly be anyone left in the U.S. who hasn't heard of Mollie Katzen? Or if not Mollie herself, at least her first cookbook, the now classic Moosewood Cookbook? Few writers have reached so broad an audience with a healthy-cooking, pro-vegetarian message. Ms. Katzen's latest effort, Sunlight Caf+¬, turns breakfast into a healthy, fulfilling showpiece meal, a morning sanctuary for assembling the day. She explains how to do this, no matter what your time crunch or disinclination might be. And in an introductory essay called "Breakfast for Metabolic Health," she explains why.There are chapters in Sunlight Caf+¬ devoted to beverages, fruit, grains, muffins and the like, eggs, potatoes, breakfast vegetables, griddle foods, puddings, etc. Katzen takes the time and space to explain how to scramble eggs, how to enrich scrambled eggs, how to augment scrambled eggs, and how to achieve the world's creamiest scrambled eggs. Does that sound comprehensive? Well, the entire book has been written that way. Nothing has been left out. Not sure how much water goes with a cup of brown rice, or how long to cook the grain? Katzen supplies theall-encompassing chart. It's one of many, and worth the price of the book. Among the 350 recipes you'll find easy, delicious baked goods to make ahead and eat at your desk (Katzen is not out of touch with the working world). You'll also find menus for the relaxed brunch you can lay out on the weekend. Leave it to Mollie Katzen: she has taken breakfast and made it better than ever. --Schuyler Ingle

Summary: Favorite!
Comment: This is my favorite book EVER! I buy a lot of books, but this one is so good!!!! After trying recipes from this book, I bought every possible book from Mollie Katzen. The recipes are creative, simple, healthy and yummy. I tried each one of them, with 100% success rate. Mollie belongs to her own category, nobody tops Mollie.

Summary: Vegetarian Breakfast Cookbook?
Comment: Seems like it's probably a decent cookbook for what it is. I was disappointed to realize that it is very nearly completely vegetarian (Canadian bacon in the eggs Benedict was the only meat component I could find with a cursory perusal). Nothing wrong with that, I suppose, if that's what you're into. I just would've liked some indication of that in the item description and/or reviews as veggie bacon, smoked tofu and wheat-free pancakes are not my idea of a good time.

Summary: Cookbook that got me cooking
Comment: I love this book! It was given to me as a gift. I am not much of a cook, never even enjoyed it, until I read Mollie's book. Breakfast is my favorite meal and Mollie has amazing ideas of quick, simple, tasty ways to make breakfast fun and simple. Her drawings are beautiful. The woman has a million talents. Thanks Mollie! I have had a blast using your book.

Summary: Absolutely terrific
Comment: I regularly make delicious meals from this absolutely terrific book. The recipes are well written and come out very well. There are interesting ideas for adding soy protein powder and other ways to increase protein content if you want. There is a great variety of recipes, sweet and savory. Eggs, tofu, beans, fruit, tomatoes, as well as muffins and breads. Sure, some are treats. But I am very happy to have the ability to make what I call "the best waffles in the world" when I want them. Breakfast doesn't get enough attention in cookbooks.

Summary: Not in the least delightful.
Comment: Tired, rehashed garbage from an aging Berkeley hippie. Why pay good money for Nothing New? So many better cookbooks from people like Nick Stellino. Katzen sorely needs some new ideas.
