I can’t believe I forgot to review the Clinton St. Baking Company Cookbook: Breakfast, Brunch & Beyond from New York’s Favorite Neighborhood Restaurant when I made the po’boy sandwiches from it a few weeks ago. Duh! I had received a review copy from the publisher and they kindly offered an additional giveaway copy for one of my readers.
When I first received the cookbook, I wasn’t expecting much. From the publisher:
The Clinton St. Baking Company is one of the hottest brunch spots in a city obsessed with brunch. A tiny thirty-two-seat eatery on Manhattan’s trendy Lower East Side, the restaurant draws long lines of customers who come from far and wide to sample fresh-baked goods, hearty omelets, sugar-cured bacon, and light-as-air pancakes with maple butter.
In the Clinton St. Baking Company Cookbook, owners DeDe Lahman and Neil Kleinberg share more than 100 treasured recipes that have made their restaurant a sensation. Learn the secret to their house-made buttermilk biscuits and tomato jam, irresistible muffins and scones, delicious soups and sandwiches, and their decadent, eye-catching desserts. Helpful techniques, like Neil’s patented omelet “flip and tuck,” and gorgeous color photographs throughout will have readers cooking like pros in no time, and sharing the delicious results.
I don’t know why, but I was expecting a TON of breakfast food. I was pleasantly surprised to discover a number of neat little recipes and sauces. Best of all, it does a great job of explaining exactly how to cook things – it doesn’t assume you know how to make an omelet, or the best way to mix things when baking.
Congratulations Renee Richardson for winning!

Does champagne count? And anything with crab.
I love Egs Benedict. Before I go to a brunch I always check to make sure they have them. I have made them myself but they taste just a little better when someone else does all of the work.
