Brunch is a meal that combines both breakfast and lunch, eaten around midday or late in the morning, on lazy days off. It is an incredibly versatile meal, conjuring up relaxed Sunday mornings and food to be savoured, never hurried. Brunch can incorporate both healthy dishes and wonderfully indulgent foods, from oatmeal with summer berries and yoghurt to eggs Benedict, syrup-drenched pancakes and homemade cakes and breads. Joy Skipper is an experienced food writer and recipe stylist who has worked for a number of magazines in the United Kingdom, including the Telegraph (magazine) and WeightWatchers.
