Breakfasts

If your breakfast time has fallen into a bit of a culinary rut, then reach for this book. Jacque Malouf takes your taste buds through a morning tour of the globe with his selection of smoothies, cereals, brunches, and some inventive takes on the traditional fry-up.

Malouf looks at India, Morocco, and Thailand for inspiration without forgetting the beloved British take on the most important meal of the day. English favourites are given a European revamp with dishes such as Oak-smoked Salmon & Chive Scrambled Eggs on Toasted Brioche and Sausage, Roasted Tomato and Pecorino Frittata.

More international flavours leap of the page with Malouf's Minty Mango Lassi and Saffron-spiced Dried Fruit Salad. One tip though - just pick a recipe and endeavour to create it. If you start browsing through the book, you may find that it's lunchtime when you next look up.
