Advance praise for Sundays: A Celebration of Breakfast and Family in 52 Essential Recipes
Pre-order Sundays
A cookbook with a memoir at its heart—about breakfast, the joy of a father and son cooking together, and how we show love through food.
Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but it’s also the most intimate and personal. It’s when we’re in our pyjamas and with our families, not quite ready to face the world. It’s what we crave when we want comfort and it’s the easiest way to turn us back into kids again.
Filled with eye-catching illustrations and 52 recipes for a full year of weekend breakfasts, Sundays is a journey through Mark and Sam’s morning adventures. Starting out with simpler challenges, like Toast Soldiers and Almond Butter Overnight Oats, Mark then veers into his favourite inspired dishes, including Eggnog French Toast Bake, Pumpkin Spice Pancakes, Cheddar Polenta Cakes, and Saucy Poached Eggs with Feta. Mark also revisits his own childhood breakfast obsessions (Pop-Tarts, egg sandwiches, and the elusive perfect bagel, to name a few), and along the way explores the surprising origins of breakfast staples.
“You know someone loves you when they make you a big breakfast. It works the other way around too: making a big breakfast for someone you love tastes just as good, if not best of all.” —from Sundays
