Sunday Brunch: Crab and Corn Cakes
Crab cakes are an almost perfect morning food—easy on the palate, and not too heavy in the stomach. The addition of corn kernels and creamed corn adds just a bit of sweetness and texture without overwhelming the delicate flavor of the crab. Although fresh is always better, these cakes can be made out of cans from your pantry if you've got last-minute company. And if you're the type of person who shucks and freezes fresh corn in the summer, this is a worthy use of that precious summer corn.Sunday Brunch: Seafood Pancakes
These pancakes are modeled after the popular Korean dish haemul jeon. The temptation to load these pancakes with every available shellfish at the fish counter can be overwhelming, but I recommend self-restraint; two to three varieties of shellfish are the most that should go into these pancakes. Generally I like to pair shellfish that have different textures; a favorite combination in my kitchen is shrimp and mussel.Sunday Brunch: Granola
This recipe reminds me of early mornings on the ski hill, trying to find that balance of something that will keep me (trying) to stay upright on the slopes for the entire morning without weighing me down. Granola and milk seem like the perfect solution.Sunday Brunch: Salmon and Caviar Blini
With these simple blini you can roll out of bed with your party hat still on and put together a beautiful brunch that looks and tastes like a meal that's fit to start 2012.Sunday Brunch: Banana Bread
We have all had the experience of getting ready to head out to the grocery store and suddenly noticing the bunch of bananas sitting on the counter that has gone brown and wrinkly. Those bananas may not work as a breakfast you toss into a bag before you run out the door, but they have reached the perfect stage to go into banana bread.Sunday Brunch: Brandy Bran Muffins
To me, muffins have never been the most enticing food. There's something about the overly sweet, sticky lumps sitting in a cardboard box in my office kitchen that I've always found disconcerting. But the lightly toasted bran, and sweet, soft, boozy raisins make this recipe a muffin I crave. Bran may not be the flashiest muffin, but it's the simplicity of the flavors in this recipe that drew me in.Banana-Stuffed French Toast from Zaftigs in Brookline, MA
It's pretty well known that most people who crowd this Coolidge Corner institution for weekend brunch aren't here for bagels and lox or pastrami sandwiches. They're here for the short-order house specialty: banana-stuffed French toast ($9.95).A Sandwich a Day: Croque Madame at Poste Brasserie in Washington, DC
In my experience, restaurants seem to griddle the bread for croque madames to the point where a steak knife and some serious muscle are required to reach the ham and cheese inside. But at Poste, inside the Hotel Monaco in D.C.'s Chinatown, the Croque Madame ($16; on the weekend brunch menu) features two thick yet airy toasted slices of white bread enveloping thinly sliced, salty Virginia ham and gruyere.Snapshots from New Orleans: Brunch at Commander's Palace
Commander's Palace is one of those tourist-frequented destinations that still, surprisingly, has great food. After brunch here, it's easy to see why locals and visitors alike love the place. Since 1880, it's been in a Victorian mansion in the Garden District of New Orleans. What makes the food so special? It's really just standard brunch fare but executed flawlessly: perfect hollandaise, tender buttermilk biscuits, and a creamy yet delicate oyster stew. Even the garlic bread, a filler at most places, is just the right combination of bread, garlic, and butter.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
