Ultra-Violet's VERY GOOD Pickled Egg Cookbook Rating:
5 / 5
I thought the recipes contained in here were very good. There are all sorts of recipes that will suit everyones tastes, from Super Hot to Very Mild. Things that you never thought would go into a pickled egg recipe, such as chili pepper, ginger root, cinnamon, hot pepper sauce, jalapeno peppers, and Old Bay seasoning are in a lot of these tasty recipes. This book also has amusing tidbits of information about the author and her family interspersed with the State of Missouri facts. I highly recommend this book if you or your family enjoys pickled eggs and "something different".
WHAT A FIND! Rating:
5 / 5
Here's a treasury of pickled egg recipes (more than 40),plus a mostly humorous collection of biographical highlights of author Violet May Steele/Clayton's very unusual life. There are also many , probably little-known facts about the state of Missouri, all in one convenient, spiral-bound book. Three different jars of eggs are pickling in our refrigerator right now, with Annie Campbell's Picnic Eggs (pg. 40) just test/tasted after 7 days in brine. They are outstanding and very mild! Divided between hot & spicy and sweet, there's a pickled egg here for everyone's taste, with added information on how to boil,peel and care for eggs. As a bonus, this must be the only book ever to be dedicated to a White Leghorn hen. Named Lady Macduff, this busy chicken holds the one-year egg-laying record of 303 eggs produced in 1913,according to the Oregon State Agricultural Experimental Station. This is egg-zactly (sorry!)the right gift for a cookbook collector, a true egg lover, or just a real fun read for anyone.

Beside having great recipes for pickled eggs, this book would make a great gift for anyone living in Missouri or from Missouri. It has many historical facts, along with some funny stories. Happy pickling.
