Pancakes: 72 Sweet and Savory Recipes for the Perfect Stack Paperback – May 28, 2013

As an avid reader of the author's blog, "A Cozy Kitchen," I was thrilled to hear that she was releasing a cookbook! I'm a dedicated home cook, reader of blogs, watcher of food TV, and collector of cookbooks-- in fact, I am so drawn to beautiful cookbooks that I have had to actively limit my purchases so that I don't go broke drowning in pages. I pre-ordered Adrianna's book right away though, and was thrilled beyond belief the day it showed up at my door, in a box that I had pessimistically mistaken for my monthly delivery of fancy pants cat box supplies. What a game changer!"Pancakes" is everything I love about "A Cozy Kitchen," in book form. The photographs are stunning, the organization is clear and sparse, the recipes are wonderful, and the author's voice--so approachable, funny, and human--runs strongly throughout. I've tried a couple of the recipes so far and find them easy to understand and seriously creative--not surprising, as this seems to be the author's M.O.-- I make something from her site at least once a week, maybe twice--and everything has been amazing. I can't imagine the lengths to which she must go in her testing process, because these recipes, both on the blog and in this book, are perfectly consistent.Story: over the weekend, my boyfriend and I woke up late after having entertained the night before. We had a fridge full of weird party foods but nothing really breakfasty or brunchy to speak of. I immediately turned to Adrianna's book--bedhead and all--and from there the only hard part was deciding. We landed on the multigrain pancakes, thinking we had all of these berries that we might use for topping, and went to town. The story accompanying this recipe cracked me up--about a family taking their fridge through an early '80's style hippie revolution. I was pleasantly reminded of the first time wheat germ showed up in my fridge growing up, and my mother's insistence that it could be used as a delicious topping for ice cream. Silly woman. But listen-- wheat germ IS really great in pancakes. Particularly when said pancakes are kept warm in the oven as the author suggests, so that one might sit down and eat together with one's friend or partner instead of flipping them onto plates as they come and staying trapped in the kitchen. Genius.Thank you, Adrianna, for a stunning collection of recipes and stories. This book has already become a favorite in our house, and I haven't even made the Banana Bourbon cakes yet...

Comes with a lot of good recipes and is a great pancake lover's book.

Has both savory and sweet recipes for pancakes. I have not used as yet.

Pancakes have got to be one of the great American comfort foods!Adrianna, who writes the always-funny, charming, and mouthwatering blog, A Cozy Kitchen has written a whole book devoted to this well-loved treat. I particularly like that she offers many options both sweet and savory. (Plus there are gluten-free options for those of us who need it.)My 9 year old daughter was looking through my copy and bookmarked all the goodies she wants us to make together. I was happy that she was even tempted by the savory options. Looks like we'll be making crab cakes soon;)

Making pancakes sounds like such a trivial task but as with anything I do in the kitchen, I try to make it as authentic as possible. This book seems really good so far. We've only tried the buttermilk pancakes but the kids and hubby love them. Will be trying more varieties for sure.

Good book

Because I had already seen this book at the library, I knew several of the recipes weren't really what I consider "pancakes." However, the recipes I made were very good - loved the corn pancakes!

Got this for a gift for someone looking for Oatmeal pancake recipe. I think they will be happy with it.
