Side Dishes, Breakfast & Baking for Gatherings

Leo Ramirez, sides and brunch cook – side dishes, breakfast bakes and crowd-friendly party food.

Profile:

Leo Ramirez's recipes are built around the food people share: a French toast casserole for eight, a platter of mini slider sandwiches, a tray of coffee cake muffins, or a pan of paella sized for a crowd. The collection leans toward sides and breakfast, with a strong share of baking and a few dinners for bigger tables.

What sets these recipes apart is the attention to scale and timing. Titles state the serving count or the clock time up front, so you can tell at a glance whether a dish suits a family brunch or a party of sixty. Many dishes, from dips and sauces to egg bakes, can be prepared in stages, which leaves the host free once guests arrive. You will also find quick classics such as buttermilk biscuits, hollandaise, and shrimp cocktail, written with clear steps and realistic times.

Start with the baking section for scones, muffins, and loaves, or browse the full list of recipes below to plan your next gathering.
