'egg'

[tan319]

I just received it today, quite an interesting book.

Mainly savory recipes but I love those too.

Pierre Herme, Sam Mason, and a few others contributed the dessert items.

Jean Francois Piege, Alain Passard, Jean Brouilly & Pascal Barbot & Eric Ripert are amongst the many others who contributed savory.

Excellent photography seals the deal as well as a ample amount of female chefs such as Fatema Hal of Le Mansouriain , in Paris, and Judith Baumann of La Pinte des Moisettes, La Valsainte, Switzerland.

A steal if you buy used as I did, new too at only 30 bucks or so.

There are a few other books by Mikanowski in a similar vein - Potato, Vegetables By 40 Great French Chefs, Tomato, and Uncooked.

I'm a fan of Michel Roux's book, "Eggs".

I've looked at that book a lot in the store. I can never decide if I should get it or not. If you think its worth having, I'll pick one up.
