About New England Brunch:

Brunch can lean sweet or savory. It can be as low-key or as luxe as you like. And making brunch at home allows you to get creative with local and seasonal ingredients—like strawberries, blueberries, apples, cranberries, pumpkins, and our beloved maple syrup. It can even include coastal seafood, which New England has in abundance. Throw in a selection of homemade beverages featuring fresh, seasonal fruit and you’ve got the perfect midday meal.

New England Brunch offers more than 100 enticing recipes for homemade pancakes, muffins, doughnuts, pastries, scones, bagels, popovers, frittatas, quiches, stratas, pitcher drinks, and more—year round. It features all the classics, like Boston Cream Doughnuts, Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes, and Red Flannel Hash, alongside creative twists on traditional recipes, like Maple Walnut Cinnamon Rolls, Blackberry Marjoram Scones, Zucchini and Earl Grey Tea Cake, and Herby Lobster Benedict. Also included is a bonus chapter with recipes for homemade dim sum, the Cantonese equivalent of brunch, which has become an institution in Boston’s Chinatown and beyond.

Brunch in New England uniquely melds indigenous crops and customs with British cookery and pops of the vibrant culinary influences of the Portuguese, Italian, Irish, French, Jewish, Asian, African, and Latin-American immigrants who settled here. From the mountains of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont to the coastal communities of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, the cultural and seasonal tapestry of flavors provide endless culinary inspiration for leisurely weekend brunch gatherings.

About Tammy Donroe Inman:

I'm a Boston-area author, photographer, baker, cooking instructor, mushroom hunter, and roller skater.

A graduate of Tufts University and the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts, I got my start in the test kitchen of Cook's Illustrated magazine and behind the scenes of the PBS television show America's Test Kitchen. After that, I worked as a writer and editor for Boston magazine. Over the years, my work has been featured in The Boston Globe, Fine Cooking, Parents, Yankee Magazine, and Serious Eats. My blog, Food on the Food, was praised by The Boston Globe, The Chicago Tribune, Edible Boston, and Saveur.com.

My latest cookbook New England Brunch comes out April 2025, a follow-up to my award-winning cookbook New England Desserts. My debut cookbook Wintersweet: Seasonal Desserts to Warm the Home received rave reviews from The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, and USA Today. I'm currently at work on my next project.
