This is a welcome addition to my collection of cookery books, with 75 recipes centred around the humble egg. There are basic egg recipes, breakfasts large and small featuring eggs, more substantial dishes such as my favourite Shakshuka, and some very enticing salads - the Cobb Salad a particular favourite here. Nothing particularly exotic, though the use of eggs in soups is interesting for the textures and flavours they bring to the simplest of dishes. The teensiest criticism is that overwhelmingly the recipes for for hens' eggs, with a few duck and quail recipes thrown in. But as a handy book to spruce up breakfasts, brunches and the like, it's highly recommended.

Yum! This was an impulse buy and I’m glad I went for it. There are recipes for each meal of the day, plus desserts and drinks. Everything looks tasty.
