8 Egg-Centric Cookbooks Worth Cracking Into

This may be difficult to prove, but I’d be willing to bet that, of all the world’s food products, the egg has inspired the most literary output. The humble egg finds itself a central theme in everything from enraptured food scholarship, as in M.F.K. Fisher’s “The Art of Eating” (“Probably one of the most private things in the world is an egg before it is broken.”) to children’s books, as in Dr. Seuss’s “Green Eggs and Ham.” And that’s just printed text, nevermind all of the well-known metaphors, jokes, parables, puns, word merges, egg-cetera. You get the idea. Eggs. They’re kind of a thing.

And beyond that which is strictly lyrical, egg literature also has quite a catalogue in the form of cookbooks dedicated to their culinary egg-spression. (Apologies.) And why not? Eggs can stand alone as a meal of singular perfection. They can be separated so that the parts can work their magic independently in custards and soufflés. They can suspend all manner of other ingredients with their adhesive properties while still being delicious. Name me another food item that can work just as well as breakfast as dinner as dessert, plus everything in between. (If you just thought “wine” to yourself, DM me so we can be friends.)

Just in time for Easter, here’s a frittata’s worth of egg cookbooks to crack into if you seek similar inspiration, culinary or otherwise.

“Egg: A Culinary Exploration of The World’s Most Versatile Ingredient” by Michael Ruhlman, $27.19 on Amazon

Amazon

It is a cookbook, for sure, as it contains plenty of recipes, but it might also be a love letter. Ruhlman cleverly organizes chapters by a flowchart of separation and approach: including “Whole/Cooked in Shell,” “Separated/The White,” and “Separated but Used Together.” Ruhlman obviously opted not to call this “The Egg Bible,” but he very well could have for its expansive, meticulous nature.Buy Now

“Egg Shop: The Cookbook” by Nick Korbee, $19.70 on Amazon

Amazon

If your idea of heaven is a sunny neighborhood cafe serving brunch any day of the week, then this is the egg cookbook to help you get there. Recipes come straight from this quaint, NYC brunch spot with outposts in Nolita and Williamsburg—both neighborhoods appear when you google “hip.” Eggs feature in classic presentations like omelets, dance with luxury ingredients such as caviar, moonlight as construction materials in Fried Chicken and Waffles, and dazzle as meringue in Mile High Black Bottom Pie. Oh, and it includes some cocktail recipes, because how could heaven even be real without them? (Check out a couple recipes from the book on our site: Egg Shop Fried Chicken, and Pop’s Double-Stuffed, Double-Fluffed American Omelet recipe.)Buy Now

“The Perfect Egg: A Fresh Take on Recipes for Morning, Noon, and Night” by Teri Lyn Fisher and Jenny Park, $15.19 on Amazon

Amazon

If your cookbooks are more likely to end up as pristine coffee table fodder than battle-weary, batter-stained kitchen soldiers, then kindly check out the gorgeous ombre of eggshells adorning the cover of this homage to the versatility of eggs. But then, how could you also resist digging into the well-organized, day-dreamy content, which offers lessons on basic cooking methods, as well as dozens of recipes each under Morning, Snacks, Afternoon, Night, and Sweets? I admire that egg-based soups get a fair shake here, and also that there is an entire sub-chapter devoted to various, flavorful Egg Salad Sandwiches, perhaps one of the most underrated meals of all time.Buy Now

“Eggs” by Michel Roux, $22.09 on Amazon

Amazon

The name says it all: Eggs. Full stop. No need for a lyrical subtitle; you know you’re working with the good stuff. The author’s name kinda says some things, too: A) He is French. B) His last name is also the name of a preparation for making creamy sauces that could go extremely well with eggs. C) This makes me want to take whatever he has to say here extremely seriously. A French chef with a global culinary education, Roux’s collection of recipes (with gorgeous photos provided by Martin Brigdale) span not only from the classic to the contemporary, but also the globe in their scope.Buy Now

“The Art of Cooking Omelets” by Madame Romaine de Lyon, $15.95 on Amazon

Amazon

As we move into the next set of cookbooks here, let us marvel in a singular fact: Not only are eggs themselves deserving of entire cookbooks, but even specific preparations of eggs are. As any accomplished chef or struggling culinary student can tell you, the deceptively simple omelet is the Holy Grail of cooking. The Mount Everest. The El Dorado. No, these aren’t clever Eggs Benedict variations, it’s just that cooking a perfect omelet is really freaking hard. The omelet is what separates truly intuitive cooks from those who can merely follow a recipe for adequate results. Either with filling, or unadorned, for my money, I’ll take omelet instruction from a Madame on this one any day.Buy Now

“Easy Frittata Cookbook” by Chef Maggie Chow, $8.99 on Amazon

Amazon

If you seek a single, skillet preparation to have in your back pocket to serve you for solo breakfasts, casual picnics, and entertaining-worthy dinners, let it be a frittata. Quiche’s breezier Italian cousin, the crust-free nature of the frittata ensures that your sanity stays intact, (unlike most pie crusts unlucky enough to cross my path,) while you are still able to nestle all manner of meats, vegetables, and cheeses within eggs’ warm embrace. Chef Chow outlines a simple ratio into which you can experiment with your favorite mix-ins, and also offers numerous variations of her own.Buy Now

“D’lish Deviled Eggs” by Kathy Casey, $12.79 on Amazon

Amazon

I’m going to go ahead and call this author a kindred spirit. Someone who understands that deviled eggs aren’t just a one-trick-picnic-pony. Nay, they are a blank canvas upon which a true artist can create a masterpiece. Not only does this hardcover manual provide some 50 deviled egg recipes to ensure your Princess of the Picnic status, but lessons in perfect hard-boiling and garnish are also offered. (The devil’s in the details, amirite?) Guys, she even dyes some of the egg whites crimson with beet juice to stunning effect, like a true artist. Kathy—call me?

“The French Cook: Soufflés” by Greg Patent, $18.66 on Amazon

Amazon

If you managed to get a grip on an omelet, you might be ready for soufflés, arguably the highest heights (literally) to which the supremely humble egg white can soar. The white of an egg holds fewer secrets than the golden yolk, but won’t be easily relegated to only a bland protein-source for dieters and muscle-builders alike. A soufflé shows how the egg white has muscle of its own, encouraged by air and butter to launch itself beyond the ramekin. Aided and abetted by sweet and savory components, whether single serving or centerpiece, molded or unmolded, this is the cookbook for those who identify more with the “show off” nature of eggs than the humble.Buy Now

A Soft Cheese Primer From ‘Queer Eye’s Antoni Porowski

Every true appetizer aficionado knows the key to a drool-worthy cheese plate is the inclusion of a gooey and often severely fragrant soft cheese. From a soft-rind brie to a silky chèvre, the spreadable texture of soft cheese begs to be eaten on a crisp cracker. But trying to incorporate soft cheese into a dish is a bit less intuitive. Thankfully we have a bit of a soft cheese expert in Antoni Porowski, Netflix’s “Queer Eye” food guru who is a self-proclaimed “dairy freak” (see GreekYogurtGuacGate.) If you follow the adorably relatable “Queer Eye” chef on Instagram, you know he’s not shy about letting his dairy freak flag fly. He’s even got a suggested cheese pairing for breakups.

It makes sense that Porowski partnered with Boursin last November. He’s the perfect dude to get you out of your soft cheese and cracker rut—I mean, the man figured out how to make a hot dog fancy while making us cry like 80 times that episode so he’s got the soft cheese quandary covered, no problem. We enlisted the cookbook author to help us figure out how best to nail our new soft cheese habit.

Antoni in the Kitchen, $21.05 on Amazon

Pre-order Antoni's first cookbook—you'll have to wait til September to get it and see what other cheesy surprises are in store.

What is the number one thing home cooks should know when working with a soft cheese?

I’ve heard a lot of people think soft cheeses should be enjoyed cold. I disagree. Allowing them to reach room temp really brings out their flavors.

What are your favorite soft cheeses?

Goat cheese, cream cheese—especially whipped from Montreal—or even a fresh ricotta. For desserts, I like a mascarpone.

Give us your top 5 uses for a soft cheese?

1. Solo with good bread, and at room temp!
2. Folded into mashed potatoes
3. Stuffed into medjool dates
4. Mixed into a cheese mix for mac and cheese
5. Whipped with chopped dried figs for a nice spread

If you’re going to include a soft cheese on a cheese plate, what else can you pair it with other than crackers or bread?

I love an agrodolce (Editor’s Note: Get Antoni’s sweet and sour sauce recipe below) or a pepper-infused honey. Dried apricots work well, too.

What kinds of soft cheeses should we be using for sandwiches?

Boursin shallot & chive adds necessary flavor to any sandwich and complements the protein.

Boursin Cheese with Garlic and Fine Herbs, 2 packs for $7.70 on Amazon

Also a worthy flavor of fluffy soft chese.

What’s the best way to heat soft cheeses without sacrificing their texture/taste? Whenever I do this, it just becomes a gross, oily liquid.

They need something to bind or incorporate into, like mashed potatoes or pasta. Sometimes it’s about it getting melty and not fully melted, like crumbled over roasted veggies.

Is there a common recipe where you could easily sub out something else for a soft cheese to make an already existing recipe richer?

Dip possibilities are endless, but my favorite is really using it in mashed potatoes. The starch welcomes its creaminess.

Antoni’s Algrodoce Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 box Boursin Garlic & Herb
• ¼ cup honey
• ¾ cup red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes
• 1 sprig chopped rosemary
• 2 tablespoons crushed macadamia nuts
• salt

Instructions:

1. Bring chili flakes, vinegar, honey rosemary, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Reduce heat and simmer until syrupy, 15-20 minutes.
3. Let cool and drizzle over Boursin and sprinkle with crushed macadamia nuts.
4. Serve with crackers and assorted dried fruits and vegetables.

How to Make a Butter Lamb for Easter

Lamb for Easter is a time-honored tradition, but we don’t just mean roasted leg of lamb. There’s also the butter lamb traditional to Polish, Russian, and Slovenian Catholic Easter tables, and it’s surprisingly easy to make yourself.

If you’ve ever been to a state fair in dairy country, you may have seen professional butter sculptures of, say, likenesses of President Obama or Harry Potter. Impressive as these are, few of us become inspired to take a stick of butter and start whittlin’. But anyone can make a butter lamb.

In some parts of the country this time of year, you’ll find ready-made butter lambs in mom-and-pop markets specializing in foods from Central or Eastern Europe, but it really is easy (and gratifying) to make your own.

You can buy a mold, whether a traditional Polish wooden lamb mold or a modern silicone lamb mold meant for candymaking and crafts (bonus: you can make individual lambs for each place setting). You might even be able to make an extra-large butter lamb using a lamb cake mold. But we went with the fully handmade, 2-pounds-of-butter lamb first outlined for us by Chowhound Capn Ron in 2012.

The only special tools you need are a fine mesh strainer and a paring knife.

Ingredients:

• 1-2 pounds salted butter, preferably in a single block or roll (you may need extra butter for the fur)
• 4 whole cloves
• fresh herbs (optional)

Equipment:

How to make a butter lamb

1. Allow butter to soften on the plate on which you plan to display your lamb. (You won’t be able to slide it off onto another serving platter later, at least not without risking your precious artwork.) Keep checking until the butter is at the point when you can easily mold it into the shape of a lamb’s body. If you’re working with multiple blocks of butter, press and smooth them together with your fingers (make sure your hands are spotlessly clean and dry, obviously). Working with your fingertips and a small knife, trim and shape the butter into the shape of a lamb. Basically, you’re looking for one big block of butter with rounded edges/sides, with a head at the front. Keep the neck short; in Capn Ron’s experience, if you put the head on a long neck, your lamb can end up looking like a dog. Save all the pieces of butter you’re shaving off, because you’ll use them to make the fur later.

2. If the butter gets too soft while you’re sculpting the lamb, just pop it in the freezer to let it firm up a bit. The proper butter texture is crucial—not too hard and not too soft, and it’s mostly a matter of personal judgement. The good thing about butter is that it’s so malleable, it’s easy to fix any mistakes! Here’s about what your lamb should look like before you start making and applying the fur:

Capn Ron

3. Make the fur by pushing the butter scraps you saved through a fine mesh strainer. Again, proper temperature and texture is important; you want the butter to be somewhat hard, so place it in the freezer if it gets too soft. As you push the butter through the mesh strainer, it will form strands that look surprisingly woolly. Carefully pry pieces of woolly butter off the strainer with a paring knife, and apply them to the lamb’s body, starting around the neck. You may need to bring in extra butter if you run out of sculpture scraps while making the fur.

4. Once the lamb is covered in fur, use cloves for its eyes, nose/mouth, and one rear hoof.

5. If you like, place some fresh herbs around the base of your butter lamb to give it a grassy bed (and help hide any less-than-perfect parts on the bottom). We used thyme and were pleased with the meadow effect.

Ta-dah! You’re the proud sculptor of a butter lamb!

Chowhound

Note: As first-time butter lamb sculptors, we forgot to put fur on top of the head, which gives our little lamb a slightly odd bald effect (and highlights his misshapen cranium), but the rustic, one-of-a-kind nature of each butter lamb creation is something to celebrate, right?

Next, try your hand at homemade marshmallow Peeps!

The Best CBD Items You Can Buy Online

Everywhere you look, it seems like CBD is popping up as an ingredient in health, wellness, and beauty products—and now even your food, too. The benefit of ingesting cannabidiol, or CBD, the non-psychoactive chemical compound found in cannabis plants, is that it’s calming and promotes relaxation. There are many claims about how it improves sleep, stress, anxiety, can clear up your skin, and treat rheumatoid arthritis, amongst many other things. But with a plethora of products hitting the market, it’s also important to do a little bit of detective work in what you’re buying.

All CBD is not the same, and neither are CBD products or companies. When choosing a product, be sure to look for a brand that offers independent third-party lab results for pesticides, heavy metals, mold, and other impurities in their raw materials,” says Joel Greengrass, CEO of Theramu, which makes quality CBD elixirs. “Also check that the final products are lab tested for potency to ensure they have retained the claimed CBD content throughout the production process, and you are getting what you paid for,” he says. Here are some of our favorites CBD items on the market today:

B.Chill Raw Hemp Honey, $49.99 at Beekeeper’s Naturals

B Chill

Tea with honey or lemon? That generally is the question. But if you’re looking for an excuse to opt for the sweet stuff, look no further than Beekeeper’s Naturals’ new B.Chill Hemp Honey, which the company describes as a blend of sustainably-sourced raw honey and high potency hemp oil. Translation: it’ll instantly calm your senses and relax your mind. (It has throat-soothing properties too.)See It

Full Spectrum CBD Daily Fiber, $79.99 at Clean Remedies

Clean Remedies

With a reported 15 percent of Americans suffering from IBS symptoms—mainly because of poor diet—it’s important to get enough fiber and this full-spectrum CBD fiber by cleanremedies can do just the trick. It’s easy to take as a supplement with water or blended with your other favorite recipes or CBD foods, and claims to help lower cholesterol, maintain healthy blood pressure levels, and promote digestive healthSee It

CBD Sparkling Water Multi-Pack, 6 bottles for $39.99 at Sweet Reason Beverage Co.

Sweet Reason Beverage Co.

This CBD-infused sparkling water may replace your La Croix addiction in no time. Since its launch last year, Sweet Reason Beverage Co. can be found in 150+ stores, like Dean & DeLuca, and nationwide via e-commerce. It promises no added sugars, sweeteners, or other gross ingredients so you can enjoy pure CBD extract mixed in with a bit of bubbly. The multipack lets you sample all three flavors (Grapefruit, Strawberry + Lavender, and Cucumber + Mint).See It

Calm Original Strength CBD Elixir in Mango, $89.95 at Theramu

Theramu

“Theramu elixirs act as an anti-inflammatory from the inside out, helping to quiet agitation and spasming, promote healthy sleep patterns, and soothe general body aches and discomfort. As with all Theramu products, Calm uses 100 percent all-natural ingredients and organic fruit extracts, with no unnecessary fillers or additives,” Greengrass tells us. The elixirs also come in mango, peach, and pineapple flavors made of natural fruit extracts.See It

Get a Grip Stress Blend CBS Roller, $29 at Plant Juice Oils

Plant Juice Oils

Plant Juice Oils are essential oils blended with CBD oil to up the game when it comes to cannabis’ therapeutic benefits. Our favorite product is their Get a Grip Stress roll-on, which makes for quick on-the-go application to help with your nerves and bring about a sense of calm throughout your body; the brand also makes products that come in a spray, and cream versions too.See It

Rose Quartz Infusion Mint Lip Balm, $15 on Mazz Hanna

Mazz Hanna

Just the name of MAZZ HANNA’s Rose Quartz Infusion Mint Lip Balm has our smackers getting excited, never mind the formulation which includes 15mg of organic CBD. The hydration properties for your lips come by way of oils derived from coconut, almond, avocado, and hemp seed, and it’s all magically infused with rose quartz, a healing crystal that attracts love and encourages self-love, too. (The site is currently being renovated, but you can still place an order by sending an email to hello@mazzhanna.com.)See It

CBD Powder Pack (Mixed Flavors), 21 for $44.99 at Elixinol

Elixinol

Perfect for adding to your afternoon smoothie, or enriching a glass of tap or bottled water, Elixinol’s CBD product is gluten-free, non-GMO, dairy-free, and vegan for those of you with special dietary concerns. Flavors include Citrus, Berry, and Cocoa, and each comes in a 7-day box to make your optimal dosing easy.See It

Relaxation & Heart Support CBD Dog Chews, $35 at Bona Vida

Bona Vida

Yes, there are even CBD-infused treats for your pup, and they’re already helping pet owners whose furry friends have conditions including anxiety, seizures, and arthritis. Though you’ll want to check with your vet first, Bona Vida is one such brand already with a good variety of offerings: Chews for relaxation and heart support with “an exacting calculation of L-Carnitine, magnesium, potassium, Ginko Biloba, and just the right amount of hemp-derived CBD…to support healthy heart function and promote calmness,” a brand rep tells us. There’s also one formulated for muscle and joints, and even skin and body, so your furball’s coat can look it’s absolute best.See It

Olive Oil Duo CBD Infusion Kit, $40 at Ardent

Ardent

Ardent recently launched three new Cannabis Infusion Kits, but the most notable is probably their latest—an Olive Oil Duo Infusion Kit. Since you’re already adding EVOO to everything from your morning avo toast to delicious Greek salads, it’s a seamless way of incorporating CBD into your everyday diet. According to Ardent, “the DIY kits pair perfectly with as little as half a gram of cannabis (CBD and/or THC, if it’s legal where you live, choose your favorite strain) and Ardent’s NOVA Lift—a first-of-its-kind, at-home device that fully activates your material (allowing you to reduce the amount of cannabis needed) using an odorless process.” What this all means: You can make tasty, accurate, high-quality, potent, dispensary-grade edibles all from home.

CBD Gummies in Mixed Berries, $34.99 at Veritas Farms

Veritas Farms

You might not be able to find them at Dylan’s Candy Bar, but Veritas Farms’s CBD-infused Gummies are a very worthy addition to your next online shopping spree. For one, they come in both a regular formulation, containing high quality cannabinoid in a mouth-watering mixed berry flavor. Even better: You can buy a version with melatonin, which combined with CBD’s soothing properties, will quickly help you to sleep at night. See It

Sweet Green Artisan Hot Sauce, $18 at Green Panther Chef

Green Panther Chef

Jazmine “Chef Jazz” Moore is both a formally-trained chef and a survivor of Crohn’s disease. She tells us she was once down to a dangerous 84 pounds while taking traditional medications for her disease, and that’s when researching alternative treatments led her to cannabis. Today, Chef Jazz has developed Green Panther Chef, a range of CBD-infused products that include both a smoky and sweet green hot sauce and traditional French mustard infused with 100 percent pure hemp.See It
