The Gourmandās Egg - The Gourmand
The Gourmand
Poached, scrambled, boiled, whipped into a cocktail, transformed into a painting medium, tossed at an enemy's house. As the most striking of paradoxes, the egg exists in happy suspension between humble household ingredient and ever-powerful source of life.
One ofĀ the most enduring symbols throughout antiquity, eggs were used by the Romans to dispel evil spirits, modeled as priceless artifacts for the Russian nobility, and were woven into Egyptian mythology. In theĀ debut volume of TASCHEN's series with cult-favorite The Gourmand journal, weĀ celebrate the link between food and cultureĀ in a visual and literary exploration of the powerhouse kitchen staple. A collection of original essays and archetype recipes, from the perfect poach to artful desserts, celebrates the diversity of culinary traditions around the world.
The Gourmand's Egg. A Collection of Stories and Recipes is illustrated with exclusive commissions by acclaimed still life photographers-equal parts sumptuous, absurd, lurid, mouthwatering, and undeniably The Gourmand. Rounding out the volume are works from art history's titans, includingĀ Salvador DalĆ,Ā Jean-Michel Basquiat,Ā Frida Kahlo,Ā David Hockney, andĀ Man RayĀ alongside texts from chef, food writer, and critic Ruth Reichl and writer and editor Jennifer Higgie, and more. "In cooking - as in almost every-thing else," Reichl said. "It all starts with an egg."
