"Lara Ferroni's cookbooks confirm my belief that great things come
in small packages. This is a tight collection of well-thought out,
clear, concise and easy to follow recipes for exactly the egg dish
you were craving—no fluff, no filler—and a number of ways to use
eggs (savory and sweet) you'd never thought about, but will be
enticed to try through the photos. As with her previous books, I
know I will share this with friends, gift it, and most importantly
thoroughly use it."

"That Lara has chosen one of nature's miracle foods to focus on
doesn't surprise me: Her egg-cellent paean to the incredible edible
egg is a comprehensive yet concise curating of decadent recipes
starring the golden orb, coupled with her signature gorgeous
photography, each one of which is worthy of plastering on posters
and screen savers. Starting with doughnuts and now with eggs, Lara
is pointing her talented lens on the most delicious foods life has
to offer."
—Tanya Wenman Steel, Epicurious & Gourmet.com
"The beauty of the egg is that it's an endlessly versatile
ingredient, something that Lara Ferroni underscores again and again
in this book... Her recipes are diverse and endlessly
creative, from basic comfort foods (egg sandwiches and kimchi fried
rice) to the slightly bizarre (scrambled egg-topped hot
dog?!)... Through it all, there's Ferroni's signature voice,
that combination of good humor and straight talk that has bolstered
her readers through both of her previous
books, Doughnuts and Real Snacks."

"How could I not love Put an Egg on It: 70 Delicious Dishes
That Deserve a Sunny Topping, especially when it’s written by our
friend Lara Ferroni, who photographed our first cookbook?
Sure, there are plenty of breakfast ideas here, but there are
wonderful savory dishes too, like pan-fried catfish with creamed
mushrooms and poached eggs."
—Gluten-Free Girl and the Chef
"Put an Egg on It...proves that everything—from salad to buttered

"The book starts out with some basic introductory stuff - how to
fry, scramble and pickle eggs for example - but quickly dives into
some of the most mouth-watering, unique egg recipes I have ever
seen. The photography is just beautiful, making this so much more
than 'just' a cookbook... I can see this cookbook fast
becoming my go-to reference when we have an abundance of eggs -
which around here is pretty much all the time! I highly recommend
this cookbook."
—Fresh Eggs Daily
"[Put an Egg on It] goes beyond sunny-side-up maneuvers to include
a frozen lemon meringue that would provide the perfect light end to
a Passover or Easter meal. And her duck egg on brioche with spinach
and chipotle cream reminds us that yolk-on-yolk action makes a
standout sandwich."
—The Washington Post
"In Put an Egg on It, local cookbook author Lara Ferroni takes

appies, dinners, desserts, and cocktails. And they all
sound darned tempting…but also? They LOOK darned tempting.
I am a sucker for gorgeous photography, and I was
in such heaven perusing this collection. Lara
Ferroni is a food photographer and writer by trade (check

"[Lara Ferroni] puts out gorgeous books that show beautiful,
unfussy foods that are easy to imagine on your own dinner table at
home. You're not spending days preparing a single recipe. These are
books to inspire you to get back into the kitchen and convince
reluctant cooks that meals at home can be as satisfying as the food
being prepared. Put an Egg On It is a great book for
people who don't have a lot of time to cook -- the recipes are
simple and because they focus on the almighty egg, you can't have
too many ingredients to worry about, otherwise the egg gets lost in
the mix."
—Wasabi Prime

breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and desserts — all with eggs as a

"Instantly, I fell in love with the photography and author, Lara
Ferroni. She is after my heart! Finally, here's a gal who
appreciates eggs and all their glory as much as I do. This cookbook
is filled with a beautiful "how-to" section in the beginning.
Everything that you wanted to know about cooking eggs is covered.
Next, it's onto seventy delicious egg recipes! There are
traditional eggs to even creative ones like eggs on hot dogs. I
must also add that there are many recipes that call for less than
ten ingredients. I love that! Lara makes cooking eggs appear easy,
approachable, and for any level cook."
—Tilly's Nest
"Her recipes are exciting because she’s taken a different approach
on cooking eggs. Instead of creating a dish in which eggs are an
afterthought, she has created dishes in which eggs are an integral
ingredient. It’s not just that you add an egg to a sauce, you
create the shakshuka (Israeli eggs in peppers and
tomatoes) sauce and then gently include the eggs which are as
important as the tahini that is drizzled over the top... Each
of the recipes are also introduced by a short story or bit of
advice which makes this a book as lovely to look at as it is to
read... Put an Egg on It is a sophisticated and unique
approach to viewing eggs as more than just something that sits
scrambled alongside bacon. Put an Egg on It is a good one
which belongs in any egg lover’s cookbook collection."
—Lessons Learned from the Flock
"We're strong supporters of the 'put an egg on it' theory that many
dishes can be improved with the addition of a good old-fashioned
sunny side-up. But Lara Ferroni's new book takes it a step further,
as in, you'll never have to think what to put an egg on again. Her
recipes are tailored to feature this ingredient at its finest."
—Food Republic
"Portland-based writer-photographer Ferroni's latest title

to incorporate eggs into comfort foods, with many delicious twists.
With striking photos and tempting recipes for breakfasts, lunches,
mains and other dishes, this book shows there's far more than one
way to cook an egg."
—Alaska Airlines Magazine
"Topping off your dish with an egg has been trending for quite a
while, but now there’s a whole cookbook dedicated to this delicious
habit. What’s notable about this particular collection of recipes
is the breadth of international cuisines like Israeli, Thai and
Spanish. We can’t wait to try the maple syrup-poached eggs and
waffles, and the kimchi fried rice."
—The Town Dish
"...a satisfying collection of dishes that not only contain eggs,
but profile their role as the major ingredient. Any egg fan will
relish this!"
—California Bookwatch
"This 'egg-ceptional' cookbook is filled with easy, creative dishes
that show how to use eggs in some very creative ways in your

breakfast. Far from it, as you’ll discover as you see how to create
salads, soups, main dishes and even sweets using the incredible
egg!"
—Times Publishing Group, Inc.
