Egg Cookbooks and Recipes
Eggs are a common food, used in the cuisine of many countries around the world. Eggs can be eaten
on their own, or used in recipes (including
cakes, soups and
meat dishes) with other ingredients.
The most common eggs used are those of chicken, but duck, emu, goose, guinea
fowl, gull, pheasant, and quail
eggs are also eaten in many countries around the world. In the case of chicken eggs, the eggs
are mostly unfertilized, since laying hens are most often kept without a rooster.

- Boiled eggs - An egg boiled in its shell.
This is a popular breakfast dish, and is often eat with "soldiers"
(thin strips of buttered toast).
- Century egg - This is a method used in Chinese cuisine
for preserving eggs (chicken, duck or quail eggs may be used).
Eggs are placed for several weeks in a mixture of ash, clay, lime, salt,
and rice straw, and this causes chemical changes in the egg.
The yolk of egg turns dark green and gains an a sulphur-ammonia aroma,
the white of the egg turns into brown transparent jelly with little taste.

and can be eaten on their own as a side dish. Alternatively, century eggs are sometimes used
in an ingredient in other dishes.
