A good breakfast means different things in different countries: miso soup and rice in Japan; cooked beans in Egypt; bacon and eggs in the U.S.--or cold cereal with skim milk. Nikki and David Goldbeck explain why breakfast is truly important, then offer 135 ways, with emphasis on whole and minimally processed natural foods, to help you and your family enjoy a nutritionally solid morning meal. Some recipes may have limited appeal, such as pancakes made with whole wheat flour, honey, and cottage cheese, and whole wheat Danish pastry made with oil rather than butter. Most dishes, though, are creative and appealing: try the Toasted Quick Raisin-Cheese Calzone, Baked Eggs with Cheese, and Chocolate Pudding Cereal. The Good Breakfast Book is particularly helpful if you have to get school-aged children to eat in the morning, and portable choices that can be eaten on the run, such as Puffed Cereal Squares, Fig Miltons, and Peanut Butter Shortbread, will fit into anyone's schedule.
