As Delia says, eggs are a complete food. Nutritious and versatile, they deserve a place in every cook’s repertoire, but not as rubbery scrambled eggs or bullet-boiled eggs. Delia explains how to buy and store eggs, test for freshness and make mouthwatering dishes from omelettes to salads and gratins.
Delia’s recipes make the most of eggs, from omelettes and snacks to such classics as Eggs Benedict and Egg Mayonnaise.
