Average Rating:
 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. Rating: - Am I Cracking Up?Great book, more or less, but it makes no mention of the mighty Long Egg, the acknowledged king of eggs and foot-long slice of white and yellow heaven. For this reason I must give only three stars. Has the author never enjoyed a long egg butty on a saturday afternoon at the swimming pool cafe? |
