• Other highlights: It's impossible not to love a deviled egg, in my opinion. I'm totally on board with Kathy Casey in her opinion that the deviled egg is really a blank slate for many flavors: first with what can be mixed into the filling, and then what can be artfully balanced on top.
My favorite recipes are the ones where she plays with texture, like topping the egg with crunchy fennel or crushed tortilla chips. I like also like how she plays off the richness of the yolk, sometimes adding more richness with things like olive tapenade and buttery mushrooms, and other times contrasting with something light and fresh.
Some of the recipes are a little out there (I'm not totally sold on the French Toast Deviled Egg or the Pumpkin Spice Deviled Egg), but no matter what, these deviled eggs are sure to make an impression.

Really? REALLY??? An entire cookbook (well, maybe not, it's 160 pages) devoted to deviled eggs? Gawd... Have we really gotten that stupid?
French Toast Deviled Egg? That sounds fantastic! I might actually get this cookbook so I have something fun to do with all my leftover eggs!
Thanks for turning me onto it.
Marion, if you'd like to read the entire article rather than just the title, you'll find that it's actually many different recipes for deviled eggs, not just the standard egg-yolks-and-mayo. There are cookbooks for cookies, cakes, bread, etc, so why not have one for eggs?
Might want to re-read your last sentence--you're included in that "we," you know.
Hum....I don't see it as stupidity but rather ignorance resulting from [society's) progression over the years. Single income familes morphed into two income families, whether out of need or out of greed, and fledglings began to move miles from home, something almost unheard of in past decades. We've become a transient society.
The end result of all this was that mentoring has almost become extinct and the need to make it do or do without, combined with the introduction of readily available convenience food over past decades, has squashed creativity & resourcefuness, both in the kitchen and in general.
I stopped buying cookbooks yrs ago when I discovered pretty much any recipe I *needed* was available online. But I'd certainly borrow this one from the local library if their hrs of operation didn't coincide with my office hrs.(major pet peeve). As it is, the cover alone has inspired me. I do love me some d'lish deviled eggs and have been havin a lil fun experimenting with them for yrs now.
All this has made me crave deviled eggs and a search engine is a wonderful thing, no? Methinks I've found my weekend entertainment.:)
