Today on the show fifth-generation chicken keeper and all-around egg expert Lisa Steele joins me to crack open the essentials that every home cook should know about eggs. Lisa is passionate about eggs (and chickens) and runs the excellent website Fresh Eggs Daily and her new “The Fresh Eggs Daily Cookbook” comes out in February of 2022. So grab a glass of eggnog and settle in for some chat about one of the kitchen’s most versatile ingredients.
Mentioned in this Episode
We didn’t get into it in this episode too much, but of course the most sure-fire way to get the freshest eggs is to raise your own chickens. Lisa has written books on that very subject, and her blog is chock full of incredible info for the new chicken keeper.
How do you really know if the eggs at the grocery store are old? Crack the code on the egg carton!
There are as many ways to cook an egg as there are days in the year (I can’t back that up, but it feels right!), but there are a few mistakes that can trip up a home cook when making eggs. Lisa has a great article pointing out some of these common egg cooking mistakes.
We do get into food safety and eggs a bit in the conversation. The FDA has a pretty good webpage all about it.
You can preorder Lisa’s new cookbook “The Fresh Eggs Daily Cookbook” from Amazon or contact your local independent bookseller and ask if they can order it for you.
Find out about Lisa’s books and other resources at her website, and be sure to visit her Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube channel!
