The premise of this cookbook:

using simple ingredients in creative ways. With a few advance prep steps, putting together a beautiful, creative breakfast can be easier than it looks. I'm told my recipes are approachable!

My story:

I'm a former commercial property manager who had a great desire to break away from the non-creative corporate job, suburban sprawl, road rage, commute and traffic issues around the Washington DC area. So in 2004 my husband and I moved to Maine to buy The Kingsleigh Inn, a Southwest Harbor bed and breakfast, to fulfill my love of cooking and entertaining others.

Like many, I find great joy and gratification in cooking and providing for guests. And helping enhance their vacation was just a really satisfying thing for me. A bed and breakfast was a way for me to fulfill my crazy desire to have a restaurant, despite that I realize I'm not cut out to handle the pace of a restaurant kitchen. I wanted to serve a set chef's menu. A way to accomplish that would be with serving an upscale breakfast at an inn. And because our inn was already surrounded by wonderful restaurants, I decided to push the envelope when it came to gourmet three course breakfasts. My feeling was that breakfast could be as special as fine dining in the evening. But I also learned techniques to make things simple and easy to prepare in advance. My high school and college years of art and photography all came back to me once I became an innkeeper. And I was finally free to be creative! Now when I walk through a food market, the shelves are filled with food to paint my canvas or empty plate. Fresh fruits and vegetables are my preferred medium. Butter, cream and sugar are a close second. My favorite kitchen tool is a torch (and not a mini-torch, I'm talking a real one used for plumbing jobs). We sold the inn in 2009 to buy the next one but I became involved in the bed and breakfast brokerage industry and am now Director of Lodging and Hospitality Brokerage with Swan Agency Real Estate. I represent buyers and sellers of lodging properties throughout the state of Maine.

Down East saw some of my food pictures and a couple months later asked me if I wanted to write a cookbook. I quickly responded with a YES! And years later I have 2 editions to The Art of Breakfast and an all lobster cookbook: "LOBSTER: 75 Recipes Celebrating the World's Favorite Seafood".

When I'm not on the road showing property or on the computer blogging and marketing Maine real estate and tourism, I'm either in the kitchen or enjoying the natural beauty of the Maine outdoors with my husband and my camera. I love wine & cheese, crusty bread, Foie Gras, cooking and entertaining friends and family, skiing, snowmobiling, hiking, photography, travel, Seinfeld and flip-flops, in no particular order. Maine is a big state and I'm happy I have a job that allows me to cover it.

I have three mottoes: everything in moderation; wine and cheese daily; and my glass is always half full, unless I'm drinking from it...

5.0 out of 5 stars "Dana's Gourmet Breakfasts" - simply scrumptious creations!
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2011
Verified Purchase
So how good is this book? Five years ago my husband and I vacationed in Maine, staying at Dana and her husband's B&B, the Kingsleigh Inn. We were there only one day, but left impressed with their hospitality and most of all -- the amazingly delectable food they served! For the last five years, we have reminisced over and over about Dana's cooking. When I found out Dana was creating this book, I quickly bought it upon release for my own enjoyment at home!

Dana's book, "The Art of Breakfast, How to Bring B&B Entertaining Home" is focused on breakfast. Why? Because her inn's kitchen was too small to serve dinner, so she concentrated on serving gourmet three-course breakfasts. Her philosophy was that breakfast could be served in the manner of fine evening dining. And this she accomplished via her own, unique, original creations.

The book is divided into the following categories:

1. Fruit Course
2. Sweet Entrées
3. Savory Entrées
4. Baked Goods
5. Side Dishes & Garnishes
6. Sauces, Syrups & Flavored Butters
7. Guest Gifts & Menus

There are 100+ recipes, and each one is noted with a story by Dana of what her inspiration was for the dish, or with some useful tips. She takes you through each step, and shows you how to turn a simple breakfast dish into a work of art - pleasing to the eye as well as the palate. Dana is a photographer in addition to a gourmet cook, and many of the recipes are enhanced with her own mouth-watering photos. (For more about Dana's food photography, check out her blog, "Musings of the FoodMadam".)

To give you a taste of what's in here, "Grapefruit Brûlée with Vanilla Bean Crème" is as easy and elegant as a recipe can be, the "Blueberry Oatmeal Streusel French Toast with Warm Maple Rum Sauce" will surely be a new family holiday favorite, and for the "Black Pepper Candied Bacon" the note reads: "MAKE EXTRA. PERIOD." 'Nuff said.

If there is any single one reason to buy this book, it's for the recipe "Dana's Gourmet Granola." It's Mmmmm...mmmmm...scrumptious!!! The granola was served as a signature dish at the inn, and Dana used to package it as well, and sell it at the inn and at a local market. We bought some for the rest of our trip but it didn't last very long! This is the first time Dana has published her granola recipe - THANK YOU!!!

You don't have to be an innkeeper to make good use of this book. Bring the best of B&B breakfasts home with "The Art of Breakfast", and impress your family and friends with these savory recipes!

Dana really knows how to cook up a mean, yet beautiful, breakfast. I have tried many recipes in the short time I've had this book and everything turns out pretty to look at and yummy on the tastebuds. I am a B&B owner and my guests rave too. It is especially nice to make my own sauces, which is a point of pride with my guests, and they are easy to do besides. If you like to cook and like to try new recipes, this cookbook is a must have in your kitchen. There are lots of pictures too! You won't be disappointed!

Having been a former guest of Dana's at the Kingsleigh Inn (and a future guest of hers at the Pomegranate Inn in Portland, ME) I have had the pleasure of seeing and tasting some of her cooking. The book is amazing! The recipes are well laid out, easy to follow, and well organized by category. The photographs are quite simply, stunning! What completes the book are the small captions and vignettes explaining the inspiration for many of the recipes. I can't wait to try some more of the recipes and see what Dana comes up with next!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but better with more cooking techniques
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2014

This has a few fun things that I wouldn't have otherwise tried and our house guests might not have put on their request list. I purchased this when we were having some house guests each of which are very good cooks and I wanted to do something a bit different. The discussion of the book made it look inviting. I cooked two breakfasts from the book and the guests liked both--in fact we sent them each a copy of the book when they wrote and asked for the two recipies.

The only draw back is that she did not include great cooking instructions--we are fans of the Test Kitchen--and you need a number of mouths to feed. We enjoy Sunday brunch over a couple of Sunday papers and would like to have the same recipies geared to just two with some better coverage of tips and tricks.

- From fruit courses, savory entrees, baked goods and special sauces, you'll find yourself reaching for 'The Art of Breakfast' for many reasons.
The recipes are described with ease and include simple ingredients. Dana's focus is to ensure an extraordinary presentation with breakfast dishes and tremendous comfort in any breakfast course you are seeking. You'll find yourself reaching for this cook book for many occasions other than breakfast; fruit desserts (Roasted Plums w/ Thyme), special side dishes (Chilled Beets w/ Goat Cheese), light lunches (Salmon and Cucumber Roulade) and special hostess gifts (Chocolate Almond Toffee).
I've purchased multiple copies for gift giving! Bon Appetit ~

As an Interim Innsitter myself, I needed a true to recipe cookbook for breakfast that was as good in presentation as it was in flavor. I downloaded The Art of Breakfast : How to Bring B&B Entertaining Home to my IPAD . The recipes are easy to follow, her tips are so timely and helpful. A must have cookbook for the cook who loves breakfast

I bought this book after watching the author do a demonstration on plate decorating. While there are recipes for coulis and other garnishes, there was very little about actually doing plate presentations.
