“In the kitchen, as in almost every other area, it all starts with an egg.” According to Ruth Reichl, author and food critic, egg is the essential ingredient in every dish!
A symbol of creation, life and protection, it is associated in many mythologies with the birth of the world. But for the time being, the prestigious TASCHEN publishing house, in collaboration with Gourmand magazine, decided to create The Gourmand’s Egg, A Collection of Stories and Recipes. A first volume to celebrate the egg from every angle, where art and gastronomy are interwoven.
You will find rich illustrations of famous photographers and painters, including Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dali, Jean Michel Basquiat, and David Hockney. Enough to prove that this food is making its way into the big leagues.
In this volume, about fifty tempting recipes, from the most basic to the most sophisticated, are selected for you, to cook it in a thousand and one ways according to your preferences. An extraordinary culinary book enriched by Ruth Reichl and Jennifer Higgie, author and editor, that one would almost like to bite!
Fried eggs, boiled eggs, perfect eggs… This staple food looks more attractive than ever… and you, what is your favorite egg?
