[.ca] Ultra-Violet's Pickled Egg Cookbook: Plucky Prescripts ... (ISBN 0967566746)

WHAT A FIND!:
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.

Ultra-Violet's VERY GOOD Pickled Egg Cookbook:
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".

Ultra Violet's Pickled Egg Cookbook:
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.

Peter Piper Never Picked a Peck of These Pickled Eggs!:
Ultra-Violet's Pickled Egg Cookbook. Just another cookbook? Ha! At first glance this book reveals itself to be both shocking and practical. Shocking in that one does not expect to see a purple chicken in apron and high heels -- the nature of which is revealed once you get into the book -- and practical because it has stain resistant glossy covers and is spiral bound, thus allowing it to lay flat, making it ideal for the kitchen. Open the covers and you will find a cookbook like no other. The topic, pickled eggs, is perhaps a little unusual. I had no idea there were so many ways to pickle eggs. The recipes are excellent and they are guaranteed to change your taste for pickled eggs, but it is the presentation which is absolutely delightful. It makes this book worth having if you never pickle a single egg. The anecdotes, historical references and trivia, and the wonderful style in which their story is told that makes this book a winner. You won't be able to keep a smile off your face, perhaps not a tear from your eye and certainly not a giggle from invading your heart, as you read this one.

Great Cookbook - Fun to read!!:
I love this cookbook. I never knew you could do so much with pickled eggs! The stories about Ultra-Violet were entertaining and heartwarming. I also enjoyed all the litte tidbits about the state of Missouri I love the names of the recipes. I've never much cared for pickled eggs but I'm going to try some of these recipes. If Ultra-Violet's family enjoyed them all those years - they must be good!
