Book Reviews of Totally Eggs (Totally Cookbooks)
Book Review: Totally eggs - ceptional!
Summary: 5 Stars
I simply LoVe LOVE LoVe this lovely little palm-sized cookbook! And I love it so much so that for the longest time I was stuck on the very first chapter (even though I've read the whole thing cover-to-cover & verily, verily have been tempted by ALL the recipes contained therein) & YAY \o/ I was even stuck on the very first recipe for a while (Scrambled Eggs With Cheese, pp. 12-13), because it TURNED OUT SO WELL! Mmmmm!
"Totally Eggs" has 96 pages, easy-to-read print, no index -- but it does have a simple conversion table in the back -- & is divided into 5 lovely little chapters (excluding the brief introduction) which are filled with 47 yummy recipes of varying degrees of difficulty (bachelors, bachelorettes & non-cooks of every stripe will find this book very non-threatening & easy to use) from here & around the world :
1) Breakfast Babies (10 recipes)
2) Starters, Soups & Salads (8 recipes)
3) Eggs In The Afternoon (15 recipes)
4) Egg Breads & Beverages (5 recipes)
5) Sweet Endings (9 recipes)
Nearly every recipe has a short, pithy intro by the author:
"This is a great dish to have in your repertoire for when the cupboard is relatively bare and the wind blows cold. Its Greek name is avgolemono." (Greek Egg And Lemon Soup, p. 36)
Easy-to-follow ingredient lists:
-- 2 teaspoons butter
-- 2 eggs
-- salt & freshly ground pepper (Fried Eggs, p. 22)
Easy-to-follow directions:
"In a blender, process the ice to crush. Add egg, chocolate syrup, milk, and Kahlua or coffee liquer. Process until frothy, and pour into iced high-ball glasses." (Mocha Flip, p. 78)
And interspersed throughout are interesting little egg tips, tricks & trivia:
"A green ring on a hard-boiled egg yolk indicates the egg has been overcooked. It is not a safety problem." (p. 28)
As well as quotable quotes:
"The egg is to cuisine what the article is to speech. -- Anonymous" (p. 22)
There are no photographs, but rather a few quaint, single-color illustrations scattered here and there.
And I will admit to you that I was a little disappointed when I first received "Totally Eggs" in the mail, because I wasn't expecting such a small & no-frills book, but, as a trade-off, I HAVE been more than pleased with the high-quality, thoughtful & well-put-together content.
