About the Book

Poached, scrambled, boiled, whipped into a cocktail, transformed into a painting medium, tossed at an enemy's house. As the most striking of paradoxes, the egg exists in happy suspension between humble household ingredient and ever-powerful source of life.

One of the most enduring symbols throughout antiquity, eggs were used by the Romans to dispel evil spirits, modeled as priceless artifacts for the Russian nobility, and were woven into Egyptian mythology. In the debut volume of TASCHEN's series with cult-favorite The Gourmand journal, we celebrate the link between food and culture in a visual and literary exploration of the powerhouse kitchen staple. A collection of original essays and archetype recipes, from the perfect poach to artful desserts, celebrates the diversity of culinary traditions around the world.

The Gourmand's Egg. A Collection of Stories and Recipes is illustrated with exclusive commissions by acclaimed still life photographers-equal parts sumptuous, absurd, lurid, mouthwatering, and undeniably The Gourmand. Rounding out the volume are works from art history's titans, including Salvador Dalí, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Frida Kahlo, David Hockney, and Man Ray alongside texts from chef, food writer, and critic Ruth Reichl and writer and editor Jennifer Higgie, and more. "In cooking - as in almost every-thing else," Reichl said. "It all starts with an egg."
Poché, brouillé, mollet, battu dans un cocktail, transformé en matériau par les peintres, jeté sur une maison ennemie: incarnation du paradoxe, l'oeuf existe, en bienheureuse suspension entre humble ingrédient de cuisine et toute-puissante source de vie.

Symboles parmi les plus récurrents de l'Antiquité, les oeufs étaient utilisés par les Romains pour dissiper les esprits malins, ils furent sublimés jusqu'à devenir des objets d'art inestimables par la noblesse russe, et sont omniprésents dans la mythologie égyptienne. Dans ce tome inaugural de la nouvelle collection TASCHEN conçue avec le cultissime magazine Gourmand, nous célébrons la relation entre art et nourriture à travers une exploration visuelle et littéraire de cet aliment de base. Une sélection de recettes originales, du poché parfait aux desserts les plus sophistiqués, souligne la diversité des traditions culinaires de par le monde.

The Gourmand's Egg. A Collection of Stories and Recipes est richement illustré par les oeuvres de grands maîtres, parmi lesquels Salvador Dalí, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Frida Kahlo, David Hockney et Man Ray, ainsi que par des images exclusives commandées pour cet ouvrage aux meilleurs photographes du moment. Ce corpus iconographique est complété par les essais de la chef, auteure et critique gastronomique Ruth Reichl et de l'auteure et éditrice Jennifer Higgie, entre autres contributeurs. «En cuisine, comme dans quasiment tous les autres domaines, rappelle Reichl, tout commence par un oeuf.»
