The Little Book of BrunchHardcover, 27 August 2024

It's not just a Millennial thing. Brunch culture and "bottomless brunches" may be a hit in urban cities and university towns, but brunch as the leisurely social pastime that can last from 10 am until 5pm never really went away since it was used as a hangover cure in the 19th century (reputedly designed for "Saturday-night carousers" who were too ill to get out of bed for breakfast). Whether you're addicted to avocado toast or huevos rancheros, served with a Bloody Mary or just some OJ, here are interesting facts, figures and food to celebrate this favourite meal.
