"Fresh Eggs Daily blogger Steele lays down as many tips and recipes
as her chickens do eggs in this innovative and plucky
collection.... This will be hard to beat." - Publishers Weekly
(Starred Review) Lisa Steele, fifth-generation chicken keeper and
founder of the popular blog Fresh Eggs Daily, knows a thing or two
about eggs. And she's ready to show you just how easy and delicious
it can be to make eggs a staple of every meal. First, Lisa will
tell you everything you don't know about eggs-such as what the
different labels on grocery store egg cartons mean-and bust some
common egg myths. From there, she provides you with foundational
techniques for cooking with eggs, including steaming, grilling,
baking, and frying. And finally, Lisa shares her go-to recipes for
everything from breakfast staples, like eggs Benedict and a classic
French trifold "omelette," to breads, sandwiches, beverages,
snacks, soups, salads, pasta, cakes, pies, and condiments. You'll
encounter a wide variety of both sweet and savory dishes with
Lisa's unique twists. Read The Fresh Eggs Daily Cookbook to
discover new and exciting ways to incorporate fresh eggs into your
cooking and baking repertoire each and every day.
Author Lisa Steele is one of the most trusted voices in small-flock
poultry keeping. Her first book, Fresh Eggs Daily, was all about
healthy, natural care for chickens. Now comes Duck Eggs Daily, an
equally valuable guide to raising ducks for eggs and companionship.
This is also a book for chicken keepers who want to add ducks to
their flock. While ducks can live happily with chickens, ducks are
different in many important ways. Steele provides an
information-packed, beautifully photographed how-to for raising -
and living with - happy, healthy ducks. She examines every aspect
of her ducks' lives, including duck houses and pools, health care,
duck behavior and blending ducks into a chicken flock. She provides
a breed chart and a selection of favorite recipes using duck eggs.
What's behind the fast-growing interest in raising ducks? An
increasing awareness of the superior nutrition and taste of duck
eggs (compared to chicken eggs) and a desire for a personal
connection with the foods we feed our families. Foodies and chefs
are embracing the appeal of duck eggs. And many doctors recommend
duck eggs for people allergic to chicken eggs.
More than ever, Americans care about the quality and safety of the
food they eat. They're bringing back an American tradition: raising
their own backyard chickens for eggs and companionship. And they
care about the quality of life of their chickens. Fresh Eggs Daily
is an authoritative, accessible guide to coops, nesting boxes,
runs, feed, and natural health care – with time-tested remedies
from a fifth generation chicken keeper who has more than a decade
of experience under her belt following her own simple and practical
advice. Lisa Steele promotes the benefits of keeping chickens happy
and well-occupied, and in optimal health, free of chemicals and
antibiotics. She emphasizes the therapeutic value of herbs, edible
flowers and natural supplements to maintaining a healthy
environment for your backyard flock. Her tips and advice will
benefit the first-time chicken keeper and seasoned veteran alike.
This is one of those "especially for now" kinds of books, when food
security is appearing on our to-do lists.
Artist and writer Steve Reinke is best know for his video work, an
acerbic oeuvre that spans over a decade and includes his most
famous piece, The Hundred Videos, literally a hundred short videos
in which he explores the myriad permutations of identity, sexuality
and art. The titles of his videos -- In the Realm of Perpetual
Embarrassment, Sad Disco Fantasia, How Photographs Are Stored in
the Brain are some examples -- encapsulate the tenor of Reinke's
work: deadpan, self-deprecating, personal and always funny.
Composed of original and found footage (from home movies, training
films, porn flicks), the videos are typically diaristic, often
philosophical, even elegaic. The writing itself is extremely
well-crafted, possessing a wit and intelligence that translated
well to the page; what seems improvisatory on screen is in fact
very polished and precise prose. Everybody Loves Nothing contains
Reinke's scripts from 1996 to the present, accompanied by numerous
illustrative stills. An extensive interview with filmmaker Mike
Holboom provides a broad overview of Reinke's career, themes and
ambitions. Introduction by Lisa Steele, artistic director of Vtape.
