There are over 76 billion eggs sold and eaten in the U.S. every year, and no wonder: eggs are the simplest and most complete food, versatile enough for the quickest of meals and the favorite of patissiers and dessert chefs. In this exquisitely photographed collection, world-class chef Michel Roux has presents his picks for the best 100 egg recipes, and it has something for every palate. If you want instructions for such standards as ham and eggs or Quiche Lorraine, you'll find top-notch recipes, alongside more eclectic fare like Scramble Eggs with Crab & Asparagus Tips, French Toast "Eiderdown" with Herbs & Bacon, Pear & Cinnamon Omelet, and a variety of tarts, meringues, and ice creams.
