When Americans think of brunch, they typically think of
Sunday mornings swelling into early afternoons; mimosas and
bloody Marys; eggs Benedict and coffee cake; bacon and
bagels; family and friends. This book presents a modern
history of brunch not only as a meal, but also as a cultural
experience. Relying on diverse sources, from historic
cookbooks to Twitter and television, Brunch: A History is a
global and social history of the meal including brunch in
the United States, Western Europe, South Asia and the
Middle-East. Brunch takes us on a tour of a modern meal
around the world. While brunch has become a modern meal of leisure, its
history is far from restful; this meal’s past is both lively
and fraught with tension. Here, Farha Ternikar explores the
gendered and class-based conflicts around this meal, and
provides readers with an enlightening glimpse into the
dining rooms, verandas, and kitchens where brunches were
prepared, served, and enjoyed.
