[Updated Nov Cooks of any level can enjoy recipe demos to spark new and familiar favorites. If you love to travel and experience new cultures through their food traditions, you’ll also enjoy this class. This class will be regularly updated with new sections and recipes. Once you purchase, you will always have access to new content.

Eggs may be a basic grocery item, but don't let that fool you from treating them with the utmost of culinary respect. With a few condiments, vegetables, or leftovers, you can have a nutrient-packed meal. This class will give you the foundation you need to be creative in the kitchen without complex ingredients or skills.

You’ll find the written recipes and ingredient lists in a printable PDF in the Project video. This document will be updated as recipes are added to the course (if applicable). While this isn’t a diet or health-focused class, eggs are an integral part of a healthy diet.

In this course, you'll be guided through video demonstrations of the most common methods to cook eggs & how to cook them exactly how you like them. You'll also be educated on egg myths. The suggested methods aren't anything hokey, but are, instead, based on science - how the egg proteins react to different types & levels of heat.

From Paul Bocuse, poaching eggs in wine, then thickening the wine into a sauce.

A 'Kitchen Sink' recipe - use whatever you have and make it yours!

For the greens lovers out there - poaching eggs in a sauce of blended or finely chopped leafy greens.

The Italian side of shakshuka.

Another Italian option, with bacon and wine.
