Starting with the science and production of eggs and then sharing their various regional uses, complete with recipes for breakfast dishes, sauces, desserts, and appetizers, Lucky Peach has created the ultimate go-to volume for this common ingredient with anecdotes, essays, and factoids that delight on every page. Lucky Peach All About Eggs is for anyone who has ever rejoiced in a perfectly soft-boiled egg, marveled at egg drop soup, or longed to make a sky-high soufflé.
