MY BOOK BEGINNING
It never fails. When I look at a menu, my eyes magically zoom to any dish where an egg appears.
-- from the author's Introduction to Put an Egg on It: 70 Delicious Dishes That Deserve a Sunny Topping by Lara Ferroni.
I absolutely LOVE this cookbook! The recipes are simple but creative and there are gorgeous pictures for almost every dish. It would be a great gift for any cook, but the PERFECT gift for new cooks setting up house for the first time.
Put an Egg on It is another attractive and inspiring cookbook from Sasquatch Books, one of my very favorite independent publishers.
What an great cover photo! Now I want to have an omelette :) Have a great weekend, Gilion!
ReplyDeleteI love egg dishes!
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile because it really reminded me of my grandfather who was famous in the family for putting a poached egg on anything he pulled out of the refrigerator!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, egg :) Sounds like a great cookbook, will definitely keep my eye out for it! Thanks for sharing this, happy reading :)

ReplyDeleteIt is really cold and snowy here. With this kind of weather I have to have eggs for breakfast. Visit my blog for my beginning and a picture of the snow at my house.
ReplyDeleteSounds good. Eggs are my "go-to" food when I don't know what else to fix. Gorgeous cover too.
ReplyDeletelooks like a good cookery book to have on the shelf
ReplyDeleteanother great cook book! thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI don't hate eggs, but they're not my favorite food, so I really never think about cooking them. Maybe I need this book!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog (through a search for Friday memes). I'm excited to participate!
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling hungry now. Being a vegetarian, I get a lot of my protein from eggs.
ReplyDeleteLove cookbooks...thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am still out of town, but will be heading home tomorrow.
I am not participating in this week's book beginnings but will definitely have a post on my blog next Friday. Just checking out other posts for now.
