Eggs are a staple in our house – not only do they provide the magic ingredient in cakes and bakes but they’re also a fridge staple that can be thrown in with almost anything to add valuable protein, vitamins and minerals.

Just one egg provides us with 6.2g protein as well as 56 per cent of our recommended daily allowance of vitamin B12, 32 per cent of vitamin D and 18 per cent of riboflavin. These vitamins are essential for the formation of red blood cells, regulation of metabolism, maintenance of bones and teeth and for the absorption of vitamin C. Eggs also contain vitamin A, folate, biotin, phosphorus, iodine and selenium.

Recipes for Mother’s Day

Recipes for Mother’s Day

I have been a mum for just over five years now but I still get butterflies and that little flush of pride as Mother’s Day approaches.

Sorry to sound clichéd and slightly slushy here but there’s nothing more special than being a parent and when you have to wait a long time for little ones to come along as I did Mothering Sunday never loses its shine.

Of course, I have my own fantastic
Mummy who needs to be spoilt on
Sunday too, so this week will be a
flurry of craft and cooking.

With my card-making obsession, there’ll be a home-made card and some naughty-but-nice goodies too (as well as a rather beautiful Cath Kidston bag to take on her next holiday.)

Here’s what I have chosen to cook for our special Mum’s afternoon tea party:

Both these recipes come from Take a Box of Eggs. Of course my mum and I have one of these but there are many that don’t and would love one!

Take a Box of Eggs is our latest award-winning cookbook, which features 100 delicious easy and accessible dishes for all the family. Why not treat your mum or yourself?

This month postage is free! So you can pick one up for just £7.49.

Beef Casserole and Lancashire Scones recipes

The weather has taken a turn for the worst again with much of the UK forecast to experience lower temperatures over the next few days at least.

So we have a couple of suggestions to brighten your weekend.

This warming Beef Casserole recipe is simple and quick to prepare and can then be left to cook for a couple of hours while you get on with other things. Serve with a creamy mash and you have the ultimate comfort food!

Freshly baked Lancashire Cheese Scones are so moorish.  Sunday mornings are perfect for a little home baking and at just 30 minutes these little beauties are well worth the effort. The aroma is irresistible!

Why not share with your friends?

Have a safe and warm weekend.

Win a copy of Take a Box of Eggs, Dairy Cookbook

When I was first researching our new cookbook, Take a box of Eggs, I’m afraid I had the misconception that many of the recipes would be old fashioned.

Was I wrong!

From Huevos Rancheros to Gado Gado Salad, eggs can be used in many imaginative – but still user-friendly ways.

One of my friends has even eaten a thousand-year-old egg (I don’t think this was literal!) when on holiday in Hong Kong.

How do you use eggs
in your cooking?

I would love to hear about any exotic recipes you have tried or intriguing meals with eggs you have enjoyed when dining out. Or simply your all-time favourite.

Get in touch and you could win a copy of Take a Box of Eggs – we have ten up for grabs!

Take a Box of Eggs QR codes shopping lists

 

Did you know that our latest cookbook Take a Box of Eggs has a QR code for each of its recipes?

Each QR code can be scanned using a smartphone to provide an exact list of ingredients to refer to when out shopping.

The data is contained within the QR code so you don’t require an internet connection to access your shopping list – useful in supermarkets where there is often no connection.

This is the first time this technology has been used in the Dairy Cookbook series and Executive Editor, Nick Rowe, believes it will prove a big hit with consumers.

“The Dairy Cookbook series has been going since 1968 and it has evolved over time, which is why our recipe books are still an essential kitchen companion. We are constantly looking at ways of improving the ‘user experience’ and this felt like a natural step. A large percentage of the population have a smartphone, so it made sense to include QR codes with our recipes because it will make the job of buying ingredients quicker and easier.”

Take a Box of Eggs explores the delights of cooking with eggs and features over 100 easy-to-follow recipes using ‘nature’s own convenience food’.
