Weekday speed and weekend projects, from shakshuka to laminated pastry. 329 recipes, in a suggested order.
Eggs, porridge, pancakes, bakes and cooked breakfasts from many countries. On a weekday, read the time on each card first: it is the whole job, waiting included, so you can see what fits before work. The slower dishes, such as yeasted buns and baked eggs for a crowd, are the ones to keep for a weekend morning.
The 329 recipes come from 58 cuisines; the largest groups are American (150), British (29), Indian (26), Mexican (12) and French (9). Of these, 187 are ready in 30 minutes or less, start to finish; the quickest are Marmite on Toast (5 min), Dripping Toast (6 min) and Mug Omelette (7 min). For 67, the method times a wait such as rising, chilling or marinating, and the time at the top of the recipe includes it. By difficulty: 274 easy, 46 medium and 9 hard.
As written, 230 are vegetarian, 39 vegan, 103 gluten-free and 83 dairy-free. Another 28 meet a diet label only with a swap the recipe names, and the recipe says which.
