RECIPES SHELAGH RYAN PHOTOGRAPHS KATE WHITAKER AND ADRIAN LAWRENCE EDITED BY DANIELLE WOODWARD
Australian Shelagh Ryan, author of Lantana Cafe Breakfast & Brunch opened her first cafe in 2008 to introduce to London everything she and her co-owners, Michael Homan and Caitlin Ryan, love about the thriving Aussie cafe culture. They’ve since opened another three branches and have captured favourite recipes in a new book, which celebrates the most important meal of the day and shows how versatile it can be.
Ryan says she is ‘one of those annoying morning people that wake early and full of energy. I know many people find it hard to be adventurous with breakfast, especially if you need to be out the door in 10 minutes. But, for those days when you have the luxury of time, breakfast or brunch can be gloriously indulgent’.
