In the debut volume of TASCHEN’s series with cult-favourite ‘The Gourmand’ journal, the cultural and culinary history of the egg is celebrated. Poached, scrambled, boiled, whipped into a cocktail, transformed into a painting medium, even tossed at an enemy’s house, the egg is both household staple and source of life. This paradox is explored through a collection of original essays and archetype recipes, illustrated with contemporary photography and historic artworks.
