The Gourmand’s Egg: A Collection of Stories and Recipes published by Taschen
Available to Ship: 3-7 Business Days
The Gourmand’s Egg: A Collection of Stories and Recipes uses the egg as a cultural, culinary, artistic, and historical subject, pairing essays and visual material with recipes that show how one ordinary ingredient can carry an extraordinary number of meanings.
“I find this edition especially convincing because scholarship and appetite are allowed to sit at the same table without either becoming superficial. It rewards curiosity in a way that feels natural rather than dutiful.”
-Mrs. Mayfair
