I love this little book of eggs. So many great hints, tips and ideas and some new ways to cook one of my favourite ingredients.
There are recipes for sweet and savoury dishes and they for the most part so easy to make. I love the Puffy Eggs and Toasty Baked Egg Cups. Even the cocktails sounds interesting. Some of my other favourites are gnocchi and Baked Macaroni and Cheese as well as Lemon Meringue Pie and Peanut Butter Cookies. YUM!
Great book and great recipes.
Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of The Fresh Eggs Daily Cookbook.
I love eggs, though not as much as I love sweets, but I eat an egg almost everyday so this was a cookbook I definitely wanted to read.
I enjoyed the author's introduction, how she came to be living on a farm with numerous chickens. Her humor and writing style is easygoing, relatable and her love for chickens and animals is genuine and sincere.
The author offers facts about eggs, some of which I didn't know including:
If you want eggs from healthy and happy chickens, buy certified human pasture raised, not organic.
Store eggs pointy side down.
The color of eggshells is meaningless; the way they taste is more important!
There are many recipes featuring eggs as the main event and even if you don't like eggs as much as I do, I'm sure there is one recipe that will catch your eye.
Ms. Steele offers various cooking/saving methods for eggs, some of which I never thought of like freezing! Who would have thunk it?
I was especially grateful to see a good section on desserts (as I mentioned above, my love for sweets knows no bounds) and the author has included a wide selection of sweets and baked goods, not just chocolate!
The recipe index at the back includes the number of eggs/yolks/white each recipe calls for, which is incredibly useful and considerate for the author to include.
My only caveat remains the same for most cookbooks - not enough photos to drool over!
This was cool and interesting to read! There’s so much more to eggs than I knew, the recipes are simple and easy. Nice to see how others make scramble eggs or omelets, and to salt or not salt. Thank you to NetGalley, Harper Hirizon, and the author for a gifted copy. This is my honest review.
