The Perfect Egg: A Fresh Take on Recipes for Morning, Noon, and Night [A Cookbook]

Description

A cookbook all about eggs, with 70 diverse recipes for meals, snacks, and desserts, from the team behind the food blog Spoon Fork Bacon. Eggs are one of the world's superstar foods- inexpensive, protein-rich, versatile, and easily renewable. Every food culture has its own take on eggs-for breakfast, lunch, and dinner-and the dazzling variety of dishes in The Perfect Egg is not to be missed. The ladies behind the popular blog Spoon Fork Bacon challenge us to set aside our usual over-easy assumptions and reimagine eggs- from Beet Fettuccine Carbonara to Spicy Korean Bibimbap, and from Baked Egg Boats to Tea Eggs. Along the way, they unscramble the history of egg cultivation and consumption, and crack open the story on egg anatomy, egg types, and what the grading system really means. Additionally, they cover the do's and don'ts of important techniques from boiling to aerating to pickling eggs. The Perfect Egg is a fresh, unique, and singularly modern take on the most humble of foods.
