This Cookbook of the Year Makes Holiday Gift Giving Easy & Breakfast Delicious
I love this book! I found the recipes fantastic, easy to use, inspirational and requiring a variety of widely available ingredients in combinations that result in incredible and delicious dishes. I was motivated to use the recipes, and felt completely competent doing so! I am eternally grateful that Fox's definition of morning food includes black bean chili, blintzes, quesadillas and coffee cake! I'm not a morning person, but I love Morning Food. Fox's directions are easy to follow and her comments very funny. What a find! It will be a staple of my holiday gift giving.

Breakfast a la Margaret Fox's way is now my favorite meal!
Margaret's very personal cookbook is a joy to read, not just to cook from. For a newly-minted breakfast lover (diabetes convinced me of the need for... and joys of breakfast) finding all these unique recipes has expanded my ideas of what breakfast can be. So far I've fallen in love with the Sunday pancake, Sausage stuffed baked apples, and Passed-its-prime fruit. And I've only had this cookbook since Christmas! Margaret, I'm in love with your stories, your wit, and the absolutely wonderful foods you've brought into my life.

Mendocino's Best Breakfast
This is a wonderful, yet surprisingly simple, breakfast cookbook. One would not want to peruse a lengthy tome at 8:00AM anyway, so this one fits the bill. I tried several recipes during the recent holidays and was pleased with all of them. Ms. Fox also reveals a subtle sense of humor within her instructions, making it a little more fun to cook for company while trying to wake up enough to read them correctly. I recommend this cookbook for all levels of expertise or lack thereof, as it is reliable and well-written. Ms. Fox braved a tourist destination restaurant for many years and still has something to give - amazing !
