In this category you will find recipes that contain eggs as the main ingredient.<br />
Try to use fresh eggs for all your recipes, free range if possible. Just the comparison between the flaccid whites and pale yolks of a stale egg to the bright orange yolks the firm whites of a fresh egg should tell you why. Even in a big city you can probably find a local supplier if you scout around.<br />

The other alternative is to keep your own chickens, it's simpler than you would think. We are in a town with a small garden and have kept 4 - 8 chickens for the last 20 years. A web search for [http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=point+of+lay+hens point of lay hens] will locate a supplier who will be more than happy to give you advice. Alternatively, give the [[Battery Hen Welfare Trust]] a call.<br />
<br />
One exception to the fresh egg rule is if you are boiling them. If a boiled egg is really fresh old you won't be able to peel it (the white sticks to the shell) and the white has a strange slippery texture. For boiling, try to use eggs that are at least 4 days old. We have a simple guide showing [[how to cook the perfect boiled egg]]. It could not be easier to get an egg exactly the way you like it.<br />

'''In a bowl of cold fresh water:'''<br />
* A bad egg will float : '''''Throw it out'''''<br />
* A fresh egg will sink : ''Good to eat''<br />
* An egg that is a week or more old will sit upright on the bottom : ''Good to eat''<br />
