Breakfast: The Most Important Book About The Best Meal Of The Day by The Editors of Extra Crispy

Sarabeth’s Good Morning Cookbook: Breakfast, Brunch and Baking by Sarabeth Levine and Genevieve Ko
Sarabeth is the owner of a bakery in New York and her restaurant is famous for its incredible brunches, so it’s no surprise that in her second cookbook, she turns to breakfast.
She has all the old favorites in here but where the book truly shines is with her own creations that really will knock your socks off first thing in the morning.

If you want to eat breakfast in their restaurant, you may need to queue for an hour or more but you can always create Doug and Ryan’s recipes at home with this great cookbook.
We particularly like their tips for prepping breakfast the night before so that when you get out of bed, it’s super easy to get the meal made before work.
The Ultimate Vegan Breakfast Book: 80 Mouth Watering Plant-Based Recipes You’ll Want To Wake Up For by Nadine Horn and Jorg Mayer
This didn’t make our top vegetarian cookbooks list but only because we didn’t want to pack it out with vegan choices, this is still a superlative breakfast cookbook even if you do still eat meat.
We also like the emphasis here on creating meals from scratch rather than using the prepackaged (and often heavily reliant on additives) vegan foods that many rely on.
Breakfast: The Cookbook by Emily Elyse Miller
There’s a good argument that says this book belongs on our top cookbooks of all time list and it only narrowly missed out on a slot.

We like the fact that they combine the recipes with a travelogue explaining how they encountered each item and how they took it to the next level.

Oatmeal is super healthy and takes almost no time to prepare and as Christina Tosch knows, it takes very little effort to make it interesting too.
Not every recipe here is for breakfast but most of them are and we think everyone associates oatmeal with the first meal of the day.
