**A handbook, a cookbook, an eggbook: this quasi-encyclopedic ovarian
overview is the only tome you need to own about the indispensable egg.

Eggs: star of the most important meal of the day, and, to hear billions
of cooks and chefs tell it, quite possibly the world's most important
food. Does that make Lucky Peach's All About Eggs the world's most
important book? Probably yes. In essays, anecdotes, how-tos, and
foolproof recipes, this egg-centric volume celebrates everything an egg
can be and do. Whether illuminating the progress of an egg through a
chicken, or teaching you how to poach the perfect egg, All About Eggs
bursts with facts to deploy at your next cocktail party--then serves up
a killer deviled egg recipe to serve while you're doing it. All About
Eggs is for anyone who has ever delighted in the pleasures of an
omelet, marveled at the snowflake patterns on a century egg, or longed
to make a sky-high soufflé.
