"All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast." - John Gunther
Breakfast is the star-meal of the day; make it special with our selection of the best recipes. Nothing like a simple yet satisfying spread to start afresh and keep you fuelled through the day. It's interesting to know that the first breakfast cereal, created by Dr. James Caleb Jackson in 1863 and called 'Granula', was made with bran nuggets that had to be soaked overnight to make it chewable!
What pops in your head when you think of breakfast? A cuppa tea, hot buttered toast, eggs, cereal, smoothies or just nothing at all? Research proves that those who skip breakfast not only eat more for lunch; they also crave fatty and sugary foods throughout the day. If that's not enough to motivate you, these recipes definitely would! Wake up to a dream come true with our 10 most loved morning delights.
