AlbakiReads Editorial

An expansive collection of egg cookery

With more than 800 recipes drawn from traditions around the world, *Too Many Eggs* centers on dishes that use multiple eggs. The collection is paired with stories and folklore connected to the recipes, giving the book a scope that extends beyond practical cooking instructions. Its decade-long research effort is reflected in a classical visual approach: historical woodcuts, illustrations, and lithographs take the place of contemporary cookbook food photography. The premise also addresses a familiar surplus for backyard chicken owners, making the book’s subject both a broad culinary survey and a practical response to having eggs to use.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home cooks seeking ways to use multiple eggs in a dish
  • Chicken owners looking for recipes to use an egg surplus
  • Cooks interested in egg recipes and food-related folklore from different traditions

Book overview

Too Many Eggs is a compendium of all things eggs. It is the most comprehensive book on egg cookery ever written with over 800 egg recipes from all-over-the-world. These recipes highlight and focus on tested and traditional recipes with ingredients that include multiple eggs. It is also ripe with the stories and folklore behind the recipes.

This cookbook does not contain food photography that contemporary cookbooks typically contain. Instead Too Many Eggs leans into the more classical cookbook aesthetic, featuring beautiful historical woodcuts, illustrations and lithographs.

The collection itself took over a decade of research giving you both a phenomenal cache of recipes and highly entertaining stories for your enjoyment. The book also solves a major dilemma for home cooks and hobbyists who have decided to own chickens. The problem is you end up with Too Many Eggs.

Too Many Eggs is a great addition to your bookshelf and kitchen collection.
