This is the third release in Lonely Planet’s World’s Best… series of food books, following The World’s Best Street Food (2012) and The World’s Best Spicy Food (2014).
Brunch - a term originally coined for Saturday night carousers who couldn’t wake up for breakfast - has evolved into a sunny, social meal beloved the world over.
And so…here is The World’s Best Brunches, a collection of mid-morning meals accompanied by the origin of each dish, the best place to sample a bite, and an easy-to-prepare recipe for cooking it at home.
With contributions by 42 food writers from around the world, The World’s Best Brunches features:
* 100 authentic recipes for dishes (ranging from Brazil’s Açai Bowl to China’s Zongzi) as well as drinks & condiments (from France’s Bloody Mary to the USA’s Tomato Ketchup), with simple, clear instructions for perfect preparation.
* A glossary of exotic ingredients with suggestions for easy-to-find alternatives.
* A Foreword by acclaimed Australian chef Bill Granger, who writes: “In a time when we’re all increasingly busy brunch seems to have a new importance. Sure, in some ways it’s a luxury, like afternoon tea, but we need these feel-good rituals that give us the chance to reconnect with friends, families, food and ourselves, all the more. The fact that brunch is not on the everyday ‘schedule’ in the same way that breakfast, lunch and dinner are gives it an air of spontaneous, devil-may-care, unstructured abandon that we all deserve to indulge in from time to time.”
