Ever since the first bowl was poured more than a century ago, people the world  over have craved cereal. The Breakfast Cereal Gourmet celebrates this morning meal pop culture icon, serving up over 30 original recipes that utilize the likes of Kix, Trix, Froot Loops, Frosted Flakes, Chex and Cheerios as a primary ingredient. The 128 full-color pages are  filled with images of vintage packaging and original advertising, mixed with  little-known cereal facts, figures, anecdotes, and history—all packaged in a  format to look like a cereal box. But  at its core are the recipes. And Cap'n Crunch Crab Cakes, Lucky Charmed Utah Lamb, Shredded Shrimp (with Pineapple Mango Salsa), Mocha-Cocoa Towers, and  Cinnamon Toast Ice Cream are among the delicious five-star offerings (many from noted chefs such as Rick Bayless, Gale Gand and Sherry Yard), guaranteed to get even the most jaded foodie to think outside the box.
