d'lish deviled eggs

My first thought? How do you write an entire cookbook about deviled eggs? I like deviled eggs more than the next guy, but an entire book? Self proclaimed Culinary Diva Kathy Casey has written a comprehensive book stuffed full of great flavors. After flipping through the recipes I realized that it was indeed possible to write an entire book about deviled eggs.

D'lish Deviled Eggs begins with a little history, information about different eggs and their uses, and how to perfectly boil eggs. There is a discussion of pastry tips, spices, and overall ingredients. There is a list of holidays and special events that include egg suggestions. Then the recipes start.

After a few basic deviled eggs Ms. Casey gives us LED Eggs. "This is my retro riff: Horseradish, that midcentury darling, adds a little kick to the mix; and minced baby dill pickles take the place of prepared relish for a nice crunch factor. These would be excellent topped with crab, shrimp, smoked oysters, or clams." What? Clearly I have been in a deviled egg rut.

The flavor combos continue with Thai Curry Deviled Eggs with Shrimp, Glorious Greek Deviled Eggs, and Firecracker BBQ Pork Deviled Eggs. Eggs with corned beef and sauerkraut, caviar, lobster, or truffles. The list goes on and on.

I imagine this book to be a must for caterers and people who entertain often. I know I will never again be satisfied with plain ol' deviled eggs.
