Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Simply the bestI admit I do a lot of cooking, and consequently find this book easy to follow. I have around 100 cookbooks by many chef's, from Delia Smith (Safe and easy 1st time recipes) to Thomas Keller (Loads of practice needed, but worth it). Michel Roux's "Eggs" is one of my favourites, and superb for filling in a rainy Sunday morning. Every recipe I've tried from this book has taken my cooking up a level in flavour and texture, with the only limit from perfection being my own inability in presentation. The book covers the versatility of eggs superbly, with a myriad of applications included - and the explanations are excellent. Never before have I been able to cook a Scotch Egg with the egg perfectly cooked instead of a bullet in the ... Read More: Rating: - Have you got hens in the garden? Then this is the book for you!I love this book. I got a few hens and simply wanted to be able to use up the eggs they were producing. I have never even had an interest in cooking or baking - for me it's all about the eggs! I was almost put off buying this book because some reviews said that cooking experience was required, but I'm glad I took the chance. He describes absolutely every technique and in detail. I even made soufflés that worked out perfectly first time! So don't be put off. This book is a gem for the newbie as well as the more experienced. Rating: - Eggy Heaven!Okay, time to put jokes about egg powder and egg sarnies aside. I wouldn't want anyone thinking of buying this book to be put off as this is quietly a work of total genius. And actually that's the thing about the egg. It is a bit like the potato in that way - a humble, simple ingredient - but it can be used in so many delicious ways. It's a perfect food. If you only have an egg in the cupboard then you have a meal. And in this book Michel Roux exploits the egg oeufre (apologies...) to the maximum - from eggs as breakfast, as comfort food, as elegant dish, as bit of cheffy brilliance. But I quite disagree that his recipes are tricky. Yes, he might throw in the odd technique, but all that requires is a little bit more attention, nothing a regular ... Read More: Rating:  - EggsI found this book an inspiing read, but most of the recipes, although they look easy were to me quite complicated to make (it is Michel Roux after all!) I would say they would be difficult to manage without a fair amount of experience. All the same, it's a beautifully written book with lovely photograhy and quite nice just to read. Rating:  - 'Egg' ShakeI hear you Silverback - he has also chosen to leave out the modern day magic that is Egg Powder! As we all know a nutritious Egg shake is what everyone needs to kick start the day! Very Poor. |
