Eggs by Michel Roux

I treated myself to a new cookbook.

This one is very good - it contains detailed, step-by-step instructions for most basic methods of cooking with eggs - boiled, poached, fried, baked, omelettes, souffles, batters, cakes, sauces, curds, pastry, meringues, etc.  A very good resource for the basics.

Some of the ingredients in the recipes included are a bit exotic (smoked eel, crab, quails' eggs), but the basic methods are excellent.  (Except for poached eggs - I don't bother adding vinegar to mine, and they usually turn out pretty well without.)

All in all, I think it was a good investment for $24.95.
