Giveaway: The Fresh Egg Cookbook

April 19, 2012
A few weeks back, I received two copies of The Fresh Egg Cookbook from Storey Publishing.  One for me to review and one to giveaway to our blogging friends.  This cookbook is part chicken memoir and part cookbook.  Jennifer Trainer Thompson shares personal stories from her flock and from her kitchen where cooking is truly a family affair.  She even interlaces some general chicken information, which is always fun to read.  Whenever I review a cookbook, it is important for me to create a few of the recipes that intrigue me.  I love to see how they turn out in my kitchen and I love to see how they taste.  Here are three delicious ones that I made during the review of this cookbook.
Shirred Eggs p.40
Creamy Italian Dressing p.18

Southwestern Egg Burrito p. 117

I found the recipes to be simple and easy to prepare with short cooking times.   A few recipes will require an extra trip to the grocer for items that you may not necessarily stock in your pantry, but can be found at most grocers across the country.  From what we sampled, everything had nice fresh flavor and accented the fresh eggs.  The author shares all sorts of recipes, some expected and some new.  Appetizers, main courses, vegetarian dishes and desserts as well as snacks are all included.  This cookbook is wonderful.  I am always looking for new ways to serve eggs to my family.  It certainly exceeded my expectations.  I would highly recommend this book to anyone with a flock of backyard chickens.

Ms. Thompson does include quite a few dishes that include serving raw or under cooked eggs. Readers should be aware of the implications and risks associated with consuming eggs that have not been cooked to 160 degrees F.

  22. Oh, and I forgot to leave my email address on my last entry: Kristen.Sella@gmail.com

    My top wish list book from Storeys would be Barnhart. I am really into reading memoirs from other people on their homesteading activities. Love all their books though, I signed up for their mailing list.

    And I already follow you. 🙂

  23. Thank's for another great giveaway! I follow your blog as well as Facebook, and there is always something exciting and helpful for this new chicken addict!

    This would be such an amazing book to have! I'm always struggling to find new and exciting recipes for my boyfriend, and he LOVES our chicken's eggs. This book would be so much fun!

    From the Storey site, top must-have book is a toss up between Rosemary Gladstar's Medicinal Herbs: A Beginner's Guide and 101 Ground Training Exercises for Every Horse & Handler. With 8 horses in training, it's always nice for some fresh ideas, but I'm also an aspiring herbalist, taking after my mother that we lost in 2005. I love Storey Publishing, and have read their books since I was a child!

  74. Beside the give away book, Barnhart (love Jenna's blog), Pickled Pantry, and Year-Round Gardner are my "wish list" Storey books. The chick book got me started and got me through my first year of my first flock until one of my dogs "ate" it. I guess because he couldn't get the chicks he had to settle for a picture.
