Lizzie Stark takes readers on a witty, revealing and delightful
journey through the natural and cultural history of the egg,
exploring its deep symbolism, innumerable uses and metabolic
importance in twelve dazzling specimens. From Mali to Finland,
Stark looks at cultures that find the world's origins in an egg.
Decorated by Ukrainians, an oracle for Greeks, the impetus behind
gang wars and flown into space, the egg-whether of chickens, murres
or ostriches-has taken on mythic proportions, all the while serving
as a humble ingredient in fancy dishes. Stark even writes Jacques
Pepin's biography through the lens of the egg dishes he served. Egg
is also about Stark's fascination with this delicate ovoid-both her
myriad attempts to create a perfect omelette and her fraught
relationship to the ova in her body. Filled with colourful
characters and fascinating morsels, Egg is a playful, informative
and surprising history that guarantees you'll never take the egg
for granted again.
