Coffee is a must, as are Bloody Marys. Tradition has it that if you eat the southern-style black-eyed pea dish called Hoppin’ John on New Year’s Day, you’ll have good luck all year long. This is a substantial brunch guaranteed to make guests feel better no matter what their post–New Year’s Eve condition.

Start the morning off with a romantic brunch for just the two of you, and you’ll both be glowing for the rest of the day. Champagne and chocolate are front and center on this menu, which is make-ahead so you can devote your time to each other. A single beautiful rose in a bud vase makes a nice centerpiece, though it also looks nice on a tray if the two of you share this feast in bed. Have a box of your sweetheart’s favorite chocolates on hand for dessert.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Strawberry Muffins with butter and jam\u003cbr\u003e Raisin Challah French Toast with maple syrup\u003cbr\u003e Pink Grapefruit and Champagne Cocktail\u003cbr\u003e French-pressed coffee\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e PANCAKE LOVER’S BRUNCH (Ideal for serving 6 to 10)\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e If your guests think of brunch as an excuse to eat pancakes, why bother with protein? Set out several different kinds of pancakes and accompany them with an assortment of homemade syrups, butters, and conserves. One of the brunches most eagerly anticipated by kids of all ages, this one needs little else except maybe a generous platter of maple-glazed slab bacon.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Potato Pancakes with Pear Sauce\u003cbr\u003e Buckwheat Pancakes with apples and maple syrup\u003cbr\u003e Blueberry\/Blackberry\/Raspberry Buttermilk Pancakes (each separate or mix the berries and make mixed berry pancakes)\u003cbr\u003e Maple-Glazed Bacon\u003cbr\u003e Chocolate Chip Silver Dollar Pancakes\u003cbr\u003e Mulled Spiced Cider\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e OYSTER BREAKFAST: THE HANGTOWN FRY (Ideal for serving 2 to 10)\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e If you like the idea of a brunch that has an actual theme, why not transport your guests back to California during the gold rush, when this hearty meal was created? At the time, the man who requested it thought it was the most decadent breakfast imaginable. Even if your guests couldn’t give a hang about history, it’s difficult to go wrong with cornmeal-crusted fried oysters, paired with bacon and eggs. The Bubby’s version of a Hangtown Fry also includes johnnycakes bursting with blueberries, and we glaze the bacon with maple syrup. This is a good brunch to plan on when you’ve got time to prepare the oysters to order, though some of the items can be made ahead of time.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Blueberry Johnnycakes\u003cbr\u003e Scrambled Eggs\u003cbr\u003e Cornmeal-Crusted Fried Oysters\u003cbr\u003e Maple-Glazed Bacon\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e PICKLED AND SMOKED FISH BREAKFAST (Ideal for serving 6 to 30)\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e A bris is an important Jewish family occasion that calls for a traditional menu all the relatives will savor and appreciate.

Keep the preparation stress-free by making the blackberry compote and fruit salad ahead of time, and whip up the pancake batter in advance, too. The coffee ice cubes in the iced coffee definitely must be made the day before. All you need to do once that very special guest rings the bell is make the pancakes and sprinkle them with confectioners’ sugar. It doesn’t get any sweeter than this.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e German Skillet-Baked Pancakes with lemon, confectioners’ sugar, and Blackberry Compote\u003cbr\u003e Fruit Salad with Lemon–Poppy Dipping Sauce\u003cbr\u003e Sweet Italian sausage links\u003cbr\u003e Brewed iced coffee with coffee ice cubes\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e HONEYMOON BREAKFAST (Ideal for serving 2)\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e You’ll be cooking together for a lifetime, but the beautiful beginning of your marriage is an ideal time to start preparing and sharing really romantic brunches. The strategy behind a perfect honeymoon brunch is that it should be ready quickly, since you may have other things in mind. This one doesn’t take long at all to prepare—three-minute eggs really are ready in three minutes. If you make the crêpes the day before and keep them in the refrigerator, the vegetable and cheese crêpes take just a few minutes. To finish off, slice and get ready your fruit offerings while the crêpes are warming up, and have plenty of fresh coffee on hand. This meal is best eaten in bed, with no interruptions.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Three-Minute Eggs on buttered sourdough toast\u003cbr\u003e Crêpes with Zucchini, Spinach, and Onions\u003cbr\u003e Sliced Melon and Raspberries with Port Syrup\u003cbr\u003e Blood Orange Mimosas\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e MEMORIAL BRUNCH FOLLOWING A FUNERAL (Ideal for serving 4 to 60)\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e During difficult times, family and friends feel cherished when a carefully chosen buffet of homemade food is at the ready to nourish and to comfort.

What’s very nice about this meal is that it can be assembled well in advance and served when your guests are ready. It’s an eclectic menu with a little something for everyone. Since none of the dishes are difficult to make, it’s easy to pull this meal together during a stressful period.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Apple Streusel Coffee Cake\u003cbr\u003e Savory Bacon and Cheese Bread Pudding\u003cbr\u003e Assorted sandwiches\u003cbr\u003e Creamy Buttermilk New Potato Salad\u003cbr\u003e Fruit Salad with Lemon–Poppy Dipping Sauce\u003cbr\u003e Assorted cookies\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e FRESH CRAB BREAKFAST (Ideal for serving 4 to 10)\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e An elegant brunch for a very special occasion, this is a beautiful menu to feature in springtime when asparagus is in season. It’s delicious with crusty sourdough toast. Because all the components of the menu will hold for a little while, this works well as a buffet. Consider serving this outside on a patio, or poolside, or at a beach house. It’s festive and yet sophisticated, just the right offerings for when you’re having guests you need to impress.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Scrambled Eggs\u003cbr\u003e Crispy Crab Cakes\u003cbr\u003e Asparagus Potato Hash\u003cbr\u003e Blood Orange Mimosas\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e EASTER BRUNCH (Ideal for serving 10 to 20)\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Besides visits to church, Easter is also marked by egg hunts, parades to show off bonnets and other finery, and baskets filled with chocolate and jelly beans for the kids. Follow it all up with a lavish brunch that’s not too trying on the cook. For a perfect feast, a smoked ham accompanied by a frittata filled with seasonal vegetables is easy and perfect for a larger gathering. Both cream biscuits and silver dollar pancakes are popular with kids on sugar overload, and the rhubarb coffee cake, served with plenty of coffee, makes a not-too-sweet dessert for grown-ups. Take advantage of spring flowers by using them in table centerpieces, and offer a guests a celebratory mimosa as they arrive.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Rhubarb Coffee Cake\u003cbr\u003e Bubby’s Variation on Mr. Beard’s Cream Biscuits\u003cbr\u003e Maple-Glazed Smoked Ham\u003cbr\u003e Roasted Asparagus and Leek Frittata\u003cbr\u003e Chocolate Chip Silver Dollar Pancakes\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e BIRTHDAY BRUNCH (Ideal for serving 6 to 12)\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e You can never have too many candles at a birthday bash, so why not start and finish this brunch by having the guest of honor blow out the candles twice? In between the muffins and the guest’s favorite birthday cake is a power brunch: steak and eggs. The port syrup for the fruit can be made ahead of time, leaving you with plenty of time to lavish on the birthday girl or boy.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Blueberry Muffins\u003cbr\u003e Gingered Sweet Potato Home Fries\u003cbr\u003e Roasted New York Strip Steak and eggs\u003cbr\u003e Sliced mixed melons with Port Syrup\u003cbr\u003e Lemon–Poppy Seed Cake with candles\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e SPRINGTIME IN THE PARK BRUNCH (Ideal for serving 2 to 6)\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e That first unseasonably and unexpectedly warm day is always a cause for celebration, and what better way to put some spring into your step than with an alfresco brunch?
