What I like most about this book is its versatility. Too often we think of crepes, pancakes, and waffles strictly in the domain of breakfast. To be sure there are many fabulous morning meal recipes in this book, but author Kathryn Hawkins delves much further into her subject than can be contained in the morning hours. You'll find crepe, pancake and waffle recipes for every meal, not to mention snacks and desserts. Heck, Hawkins even includes a pancake recipe that will put your Thanksgiving leftovers to tasty use.

The more than 100 recipes in this book cover a wide range of culinary and ethnic seasoning styles and use an array of ingredients from standard to semi-exotic (not much here that you won't be able to find at a well stocked supermarket). You'll find classic recipes as well as new twists on the subject. Introductory chapters teach you all you need to know about the ingredients, equipment and techniques needed to make perfect pancakes, waffles and crepes every time. Beautiful full color photos of many of the finished dishes tempt throughout the book.

Chapters include: Important Ingredients; Equipment; The Perfect Batter; breakfast and Brunch; Main Meals; Specialty; Desserts; Snacks; Accompaniments.
