Book Reviews of Omelettes, Souffles & Frittatas

Book Review: Nice primer on preparing egg based dishes
Summary: 4 Stars

A passionate home cook that has been honing her cooking skills for the last 25 years, concentrating on Italian cooking for the last 10 years, writes this review. My favorite cookbooks are "The Professional Chef" by the Culinary Institute and "Culinary Artistry".

This book is a nice addition to a cookbook collection for those are new to cooking egg dishes.

The book is subdivided as follows:
1. Introduction: Egg, freshness and storage
2. Savory Omelettes
3. Frittatas
4. Souffles and Souffle Omelettess

The majority of the book is cooking of France and Italy, as the title implies. There is however a few recipes from other ethnicities.

The directions for the recipes are well written and easy to follow, even for those that aren't too familiar with cooking egg dishes. Her description of the traditional French omelette and how to prepare it properly, is thorough. The author also does a nice job of covering rolled filled souffles. Her section on the dessert souffles was my personal favorite. I particularly enjoyed her recipe for "Coconut Souffle with Mango and Kiwi".

If you are new to cooking egg dishes, this is nice book to get you started to find out if you enjoy them. However, if you are an old hand at the cooking omelettes and souffles, this may not have enough new material for you.

Summary of Omelettes, Souffles & Frittatas

Eggs never went out of fashion among good cooks, and now with good news on the health front they're back in high style. Souffles and frittatas are all the rage on elegant menus across the country, from the French Laundry in Yountville to the Union Square Cafe in New York, and omelettes are a must for any refined brunch or light summer supper. This classic triad of egg dishes is the cook's secret weaponmarvelously versatile, fast, and easy to whip up, yet certain to evoke sighs of rapture and awe in your guests. Here Lou Pappas shows how easy it is to master these ethereal creations and bring delight to your table at breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
