Breakfast can be the most luxurious meal of the day whether it is tea and toast for one, or a buffet for twenty. From French pastries to Moroccan savory dishes and Asian-style omelets to all-American morning traditions, the first meal of the day awakens and delights the senses yet so many of us rush through it headlong. chocolate for breakfast is one more reason to slow down and savor a weekend or holiday morning, with its global collection of decadent treats and menu suggestions (including a complete Valentine’s Day culinary splurge). The recipes are a varied as a dawn (and not all are made with chocolate, despite the book’s title), such as a light Lacy Singapore Omelet, a whimsical Breakfast Pizza, a simply fresh Papaya Mousse Parfait, and rich Baked Eggs. Chocolate indulgences include Chocolate Papaya Tamales with Mango Mint Salsa, Chocolate-Filled Gazelle Horns, and the classic Chocolate Fondue.
