Food is the new rock & roll
With the likes of Chuck Berry, The Moldy Peaches, Iron and Wine, Hot Chip, The Lemonheads, The Shins (mmm… osso buco), the musicians concur: food is fab.
The publishing industry is also in perfect agreement, given the huge number of cook books and food-related titles published every season. Too much of a good thing? Between new releases, reprints, reissues, new formats and already existing titles, it can verge on overgrown vegetable patch territory.
So Good Egg has done this: we’ve whittled the world of cook books down to the best of the best. Our selection is browser-friendly, organized by category or region. The Good Egg staff is eager to offer its two cents, and we have a full database plus years of experience using it. So ask away !
We honour requests and special orders too.
By popular request, GASTRONOMICA is now available.
Featured Book:
Great British Grub
Brian Turner
Considering the modest reputation of their national cuisine, seems lucky, or out of spite that so many top chefs and wickedly good food writers hail from Jolly Old England. Britain, not a country known for innovative use of spice or elaborate saucing.
But for honest comfort and funny recipe names, seek no other. Great British Grub collects the best: Flummery, Fool, Parkin, Plate Pie, and of course, Spotted Dick. Includes a chapter on high tea. Cheery photos of beige meals on gingham backgrounds.
Hardcover $39.95
