The Perfect Food5
The Good Egg: More than 200 Fresh Approaches from Breakfast to DessertWho knew there were so many different ways to cook an egg? This is more than a recipe book. Each chapter begins with a series of egg facts and explanations, beginning with the cholesterol controversy, and moving us into the anatomy of an egg. Then, there are the instructions. The perfect scrambled egg; the perfect boiled egg, etc. But, above all, there are the innovative ways in which the egg is served up as the centerpiece of the meal. I love books with pictures -- and there are none in this book. But, they were not missed. The book is so well written that it is totally engaging from page 1 through all 200+ recipes. What Michel Roux has done for the European egg, Marie Simmons has matched with eggs in the American kitchen. Whether you are a new cook or a kitchen diva, this book should be among your repertoire of well read and worn reference material. A Must Have!

Fantastic book from beginner to expert chef5
I LOVE this cookbook.

It is full of tips, stories, and quotes that make it an easy read and excellent instruction manual. Even if you've made eggs a thousand times over, or are a novice like me, it's great to have some definite "perfect" cooking techniques to get your eggs right EVERY TIME.

The recipes cover every meal and snack imaginable and are wonderful for making a well-prepared meal, snacks for a party, or when you only have a few minutes to whip something up yourself.

I consider this an essential cookbook for any level cook.

Eggs-cellent!!5
This book is a wonderful source for people who love eggs like we do! Our hens provide, on average, 20 eggs a day. We're always looking for new ways to cook and eat eggs. No need to search for any egg recipe as the book captures nearly every possible egg recipe out there. Ingredients are on the shelf and the recipes are easy to follow. I love cookbooks with pictures - and was sorry to see that there weren't any in this addition. The Good Egg is a must have for anyone raising chickens and looking for ways to save money on perfect egg dishes. Bravo Marie!
