"I started reading Heather Arndt Anderson's Breakfast: A History
while sipping my morning coffee and chewing on a bagel schmeared with
cream cheese. I couldn't put the book down. It is well researched and
brims with surprising facts placed into a broader historical and global
context. It's a must-read for culinary historians as well as for
breakfast lovers.”

"Breakfast: A History
