How to make a perfect brunch, healthy, quick and easy - 18 menus and more than 30 recipes!

Breakfast

Caffe Latte

Sunny Side Up Eggs

Since 2 years, I am working from home on Fridays, most of the time testing some recipes in my kitchen.

Champagne Breakfast

We also started to take profit of this moment to meet with my Dutch friend and ex-colleague Danielle for a special breakfast-brunch where we can catch up on our busy lives! This is really a special moment, and I really enjoy to spend time cooking for the breakfast and take it like a real meal, seated, sipping slowly a coffee or tea and chatting. 

But I did not really realize it became special to me till I started to follow Sandra Maureder blog spotting the best brunch in London. Each blog post release was mouthwatering. After a while, I finally found myself getting up during the weekend and starting to cook some special brunch for myself. It is time to write down a post dedicated to brunch!

Boat's Brunch in Haarlem

Brunch is probably one of the best invention of British! Along my travels, I discovered different ways to start the day and this memories inspired me to write down this post and give some good tips to organize a great brunch, wherever you are, whenever it is and whoever is joining you!

I definitely will not go to the traditional recipes,... you start to know me! But I want to propose quick and easy recipes to spend more time enjoying the brunch more than sweating in the kitchen!

American Pancakes

Each menu consists in at least:

1 drink

1 savory dish

1 sweet dish

I tried to balance every menu and always include fresh fruit, eggs and fiber.
