About the author

As a food journalist, humorous essayist and cookbook author, I've learned that food can begin conversations among all kinds of people. I'm a native North Carolinian and former food editor for The News & Observer (Raleigh, N.C.). My essay column for the paper has won awards, and my writing has appeared in numerous publications. I've written six cookbooks, enjoy teaching classes in both writing and cooking, and like to talk with readers about what they love to cook. I'm a member of the Southern Foodways Alliance, Association of Food Journalists and Les Dames d'Escoffier. When not cooking or writing, I play Celtic fiddle and volunteer at the domestic violence agency here in Raleigh, N.C.

Nice short book with lots of good recipes and food pictures. Some really strange recipes are included along with some nice basics. Reading this book was almost as much fun as eating deviled eggs!

I absolutely love deviled eggs. My mother made them practically every week and I still do. Variety of recipes is nice. We don't stick with the same old recipe all the time and this cookbook will certainly broaden your horizons about many ways to make deviled eggs. Fifty different recipes in all with cute descriptions. Several are quite delicious and others border on odd/weird (for example Devil's Food Eggs - chocolate and brown sugar?). Some are very simple and delicious and others are labor intensive with so many ingredients that I have not attempted to make them. I guess if you have to come up with 50 recipes for deviled eggs that will happen. She gives numerous humorous and helpful tips, like how to keep the outside of the yolks from turning green. My favorite recipe from this collection is Green Eggs and Ham. It is a hit at St. Patrick's Day or Halloween! I make a version of this without the green dye for anytime of the year. Other favorites from the book are The Devil Made Me Do It (curry and hot sauce) and Springtime eggs (parsley, dill and chives). Yummy! A great cookbook to add to your collection or to give to that special cook in your life!!

I don't know about you, but I'm a freak about my deviled eggs. No holiday is complete without them and every time is a chance to perfect or tweak the recipe in an effort to make "the perfect deviled egg." This is a GREAT book my father bought for me a few years back knowing my passion for these delicious, self-contained treats. This book got 4 stars from me only because some of the recipes are almost a little TOO off the beaten path for my traditional taste, but most of the list are delicious incorporating exotic and bold spices and ingredients.

For deviled egg aficionados

Being a deviled egg lover I couldn’t resist this book. Because I know EVERYONE really loves deviled eggs but just usually forget to make them they have become my staple side dish to bring to every get together. I’m the hero. And never have leftovers. I have the actual book but also bought the ebook version for my phone so anywhere I go I can produce some even unexpectedly!

I love this book! I have had so much fun making a lot of the egg recipes and they are always home runs with our family and friends. I like that her cookbooks focus on one type of food (in this case, deviled eggs) with different ingredients for each recipe.

There some ap-peeling ideas here ;) --deviled eggs with caviar and chives, or with chipotles and orange zest--but some revolting ones (cocoa egg stuffing with cocoa and chocolate shavings. But there are some good tips: If you want your yolks to be centered, rest your egg carton on its side in the refrigerator a day before you boil them The author actually does not like the term "hard boiled" (that's for detective novels); she says hard cooked.

Good recipes, easy to follow. I made 3 different kinds of deviled eggs, and if the book didn't have to go back to the library, would have kept on with more.

Some delicious deviled eggs, and some really WEIRD ones.
But the nice thing is that one set of instructions applies to the entire book.

Love cookbooks and deviled eggs. Great recipes but I think I'll stick to the old standards that I make all the time.
