What is Pancakes at Dawn?

2009-10-11T07:24:00.000-07:00

I managed to fit in quite a few pancakes this week, so I thought it was about time to talk about the book a little.

Pancakes at Dawn is a celebration of an under-utilised food. In the UK, pancakes only seem to make an appearance on Pancake Day, and even then they come in the same plain egg-y guise. But there's so much you can do with pancakes.

Why just wrap them around a filling when you can make the batter exciting? Why just eat sweet pancakes when the savoury versions are just as good...if not better? Why stick to the boring old egg-flour-milk equation when you don't need to? Why make the same kind of pancake every time?

Pancakes at Dawn answers all these questions - you don't have to! This book will show you a large variety of sweet and savoury pancakes that are easy to make, and don't need to be served with lots of other complicated dishes. In fact, as well as general serving suggestions, each pancake comes with a simple but delicious side-dish that will compliment the pancake perfectly. Many of the recipes are spicy and Indian inspired, but there are also nods to Africa, Europe, South America and other parts of the world.

Pancakes needn't only be for breakfast, or for a certain day of the year. They are a versatile, delicious dish for any occasion. I hope that you will enjoy looking at the pictures on this blog of the pancakes that will appear in the book, so that you are eagerly anticipating the book when it comes out. May Pancakes at Dawn change the way you think about pancakes forever!

Today I started off the first official work on the book. I tested this recipe a few days ago, and this lunchtime I got my Dad to take photos. Please note, the photos you will see on this blog are my own amateur photography attempts - the ones in the book will be much better!

Recipe testing is so fun...and tasty. I am hoping to do two lots of photos a week. Next session is scheduled for Wednesday. Watch this space!
