| Terry Golson, a cookbook author with nearly 100,000 books sold, has for the last ten years kept a small flock of chickens in her backyard. As the flock grew from one hen to twelve (it is easy to fall in love with and collect chickens!) she found herself with a lot of eggs. The more that Terry cooked with these eggs, the more she saw how absolutely delicious they are - and how superior they are from standard commercial eggs. These good eggs have a richer flavor and better texture (which comes through in many recipes from meringues to custards) than typical supermarket eggs. This is Terry's fourth book. After she had finished her last book her agent had asked what she was going to write about next. Terry's reply: 'The only thing I'm really passionate about right now are my hens and my eggs.'* and so the Farmstead Egg Cookbook came to be. Now, not only people like Terry, with backyard flocks, can enjoy these good eggs. Many organic eggs have these same superior traits, as do eggs marked 'pasture-raised.' These can be found at many supermarkets, natural food stores, and farmstands. The Farmstead Egg Cookbook shares what Terry has learned about cooking with good eggs. Included are seventy recipes and color photos. Terry also shares stories about her hens and garden. The Farmstead Egg Cookbook is a warm, engaging and charming book, with recipes that you'll use time and again. It might even encourage you to get some hens of your own! Terry Golson is a professional chef, cooking instructor, and local author whose first cookbook, For Goodness' Sake, was a James Beard award nominee. She is also a member of Les Dames d'Escoffier International, a professional organization of women in culinary, fine beverage and hospitality professions. She lives near Boston, Massachusetts, with her husband, sons, and flock of twelve hens. We are proud to say that Terry is also an EggCartons.com customer! *Source: Boston.com, 'For egg cookbook writer, the chicken came first', written by Deborah Kops, May 24, 2006 #SB-17 = $18.95/ea |
