Description
From corn flakes to pancakes, Breakfast: A History
explores this “most important meal of the day” as a social and
gastronomic phenomenon. It explains how and why the meal emerged, what
is eaten commonly in this meal across the globe, why certain foods are
considered indispensable, and how it has been depicted in art and media.
Heather Arndt Anderson’s detail-rich, culturally revealing, and
entertaining narrative thoroughly satisfies.

"I started reading Heather Arndt Anderson's Breakfast: A History while sipping my morning coffee and chewing on a bagel schmeared with cream cheese. I couldn't put the book down. It is well researched and brims with surprising facts placed into a broader historical and global context. It's a must-read for culinary historians as well as for breakfast lovers.”
— Andrew F. Smith, editor-in-chief, Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America
"Breakfast: A History is at once sweet and savory as well as witty and well informed. It's enough to make this confirmed night-owl think about rising earlier each morning."
