It’s British Egg Week this week and what better time to launch our fabulous new cookbook – Take a Box of Eggs?!

Take a Box of Eggs is the latest edition in the hugely popular Dairy Cookbook Series, and features more than 100 irresistible recipes using ‘nature’s own convenience food’.

The new hard-back book is packed with dishes for every occasion, from quick and easy snacks, tasty budget dishes, and hearty family meals, to heavenly bakes and delectable desserts.

Featuring stunning photography throughout, Take a Box of Eggs shares many of the values people have come to expect from the Dairy Cookbook series, including triple-tested recipes, accessible ingredients, simple instructions and full nutritional information.

This edition also has a new format, meaning it lies flat and stays open on the kitchen worktop. It even has QR codes throughout, which provide a handy shopping list of ingredients for each recipe.

Lucy Knox, recipe writer, says “We have created a cookbook that people will want to turn to time and time again. Its practical format makes it easy to use and it is crammed with inspirational – and sometimes surprising – recipes that are suitable for both the novice cook and the culinary expert. For the Dairy Cookbook, eggs tick all the right boxes – they’re nutritious, cheap, readily available and extremely versatile.
