Brunch is the best of both worlds.

A combination of a late breakfast and an early lunch, the good news is pretty much anything goes with sweet and savoury dishes to serve.  We have plenty to choose from. Eggs anyway you like, fried, boiled, poached or scrambled, serve as they are, or turn them easily into chorizo hash, kedgeree, eggs benedict or a simple omelette with or without cheese. Homemade muffins are quick to put together and can be made in advance and stored in an airtight tin, try them using chunky marmalade, apricots and pecans, or spiced apples. If the thoughts of making your own bread fills you with horror, you need to head over to our Online Cookery School where Delia shows you, step-by-step there's really nothing to worry about and you'll be able to whip up your own easy white loaf, wholemeal rolls and even French bread easily.
