There has been an awakening in the Force!

The Force is strong in your kitchen. Your oven has it. Your freezer has it. This book has it. You have that power, too. With these recipes, the breakfasts and brunches you seek will be brimming with intergalactic goodness.

Some of these recipes are simple enough to make on your own and enjoy with family and friends. Others require the help of an adult. Be sure to get your parents or other grown-ups involved. Seek the wisdom of their cooking experience.

As you prepare yourself for the day ahead, you will want the aid of this cookbook and the light of the Force to help guide your way. Adventure and tastiness will be yours as you blast your way to a better breakfast and fulfill your delicious destiny. Like Rey, you may even discover hidden abilities that you didnt know you had. Accept the challenge, young Padawan, and feel the Force!

GETTING STARTED

Before you start making these recipes, you must master some essential safety steps. The kitchen is a place of peace, yet danger lurks in the most ordinary places. The two most important rules to remember are:

1. Keep an adult in the kitchen at all times, especially when you use knives, the stovetop, or the oven. Adults make good company and are helpful and handy to have around. (Even Rey and Finn would have been toast without Han to guide and protect them.) Remember, never use anything sharp or hot without an adult to guide you.
2. Wash your hands with soap and warm water before cooking. Remember the hideous creatures in Maz Kanatas tavern on Takodana? They are nothing compared to what may reside on your hands. Fight those microscopic life-forms with your best weapons: soap and water. Its a good idea to wash your hands a few times while youre cooking too; like Kylo Ren and the First Order, the germ troops are known to send in constant reinforcements.

The calm and perceptive mind of a Jedi warrior will enable you to prevent most mishaps in the kitchen. Use it well and follow these general guidelines.

BE CAREFUL

Respect the mysteries of the Force.

• Never run in the kitchen.
• Keep everythingpot holders, towels, packages of ingredients, this bookaway from burners on the stove. The stove can be hot even if the burners are all turned off.
• Dry your hands before turning on any electric switch or putting in or pulling out a plug.
• Wash knives and other sharp utensils one at a time. Dont drop them in a pan or bucket of soapy wateryou may cut yourself when you reach in to fish them out.
• Lift lids on hot pots at an angle away from you, directing the rising steam away from your face.
• Use only dry pot holders and oven mitts. Wet ones will give you a steam burn when you touch the handle of a hot pot.
• Put a pot or pan on the stove before you turn on the heat.
• Turn off the heat before you remove a pot or pan from the stove.
• Never put out a grease fire with water. Water causes grease to splatter and can spread the fire very quickly. To put out a grease fire, smother it with a tight-fitting lid or throw handfuls of baking soda onto it.

BE AWARE

Cultivate the awareness of a Jedi.

• Never leave the kitchen while something is cooking on the stove or in the oven.
• Keep pot handles away from the edge of the stove so no one passing by topples the pot.
• Always position pot handles away from other stove burners. Otherwise, theyll get hot and burn you when you go to move the pot.
• Remove utensils from hot pots when youre not using them, placing them on a plate or spoon holder near the stove. Metal spoons and spatulas are especially dangerous, because theyll absorb and hold the heat and burn your hand when you go to use them.
• Start with a clean kitchen and keep it clean as you cook. When something spills, wipe it up immediately to keep accidents from happening. If you have time, wash dishes as you go.
• Turn off the blenders motor before removing the lid.
• Put ingredients away when youre finished with them.
• Know where to find the fire extinguisher and be sure its in working order.
