Brunch is the closest celebration of comfort food, where yoghurt and dairy are acceptable outside the dessert course. It is the soul and personal-history and less serious side of eating. It can be playful and happily include dishes from other cuisines. Lighter, brighter and jolly. You can make of it what you will. And somewhere there are eggs, Champagne cocktails and Bloody Marys!
