Media Reviews
More than just a cookbook, it's part chicken raising primer, part love letter, and part practical guide for using up all those fresh eggs whether from your own flock or from the supermarket. Thompson's lovely, humorous writing style complements the more than one hundred recipes in the book which include the usual suspects -- hard boiled eggs omelets and mayonnaise -- as well as more surprising entries like prairie oysters a supposed hangover cure sherbet and chiles rellenos. -- Foreword Reviews

Thompson catches the essence of how it's done from the scrambled to the dessert with clean recipes, great photography, interesting egg-asides and enough to keep even the most ardent egg-eater busy for a year. -- edible Memphis

This is a lovely and eminently practical book to have handy on your kitchen shelf, chock-full of sensible and delicious ways to put fresh eggs to good use. But beware: once you've tasted a fresh egg, there's no going back. If you've ever even considered keeping your own chickens, The Fresh Egg Cookbook just might be the catalyst for the buying the coop! -- Danny Meyer, Co-Author of The Union Square Cafe Cookbook

A good fresh tribute to good fresh eggs. -- Roy Blount Jr. Sculptural, earthy, and oh-so versatile, fresh eggs have captured the imagination of Jennifer Trainer Thompson, who has written a timely and entertaining egg-centric cookbook. She offers practical information about raising chickens (easy!), and her mouthwatering recipes range from the simple (classic egg salad sandwich) to the sublime (souffl glac au citron). -- Vicky Lowry, executive editor, ELLE DECOR
