Praise
"Lara Ferroni's cookbooks confirm my belief that great things come in small packages. This is a tight collection of well-thought out, clear, concise and easy to follow recipes for exactly the egg dish you were craving—no fluff, no filler—and a number of ways to use eggs (savory and sweet) you'd never thought about, but will be enticed to try through the photos. As with her previous books, I know I will share this with friends, gift it, and most importantly thoroughly use it."

"That Lara has chosen one of nature's miracle foods to focus on doesn't surprise me: Her egg-cellent paean to the incredible edible egg is a comprehensive yet concise curating of decadent recipes starring the golden orb, coupled with her signature gorgeous photography, each one of which is worthy of plastering on posters and screen savers. Starting with doughnuts and now with eggs, Lara is pointing her talented lens on the most delicious foods life has to offer."
—Tanya Wenman Steel, Epicurious & Gourmet.com
"The book starts out with some basic introductory stuff - how to fry, scramble and pickle eggs for example - but quickly dives into some of the most mouth-watering, unique egg recipes I have ever seen. The photography is just beautiful, making this so much more than 'just' a cookbook... I can see this cookbook fast becoming my go-to reference when we have an abundance of eggs - which around here is pretty much all the time! I highly recommend this cookbook."
