E is for eggs

As the alpharecipe challenge continues, let's think about eggs.

Like most ingredients, eggs have had their ups and downs over the years. At one stage they were accused of raising cholesterol (I don't think that's still the case?) and of course, animal welfare issues are important. I always buy free range eggs or, better still, use eggs from chickens who I know personally to be free range. Andrew and I regularly care for our friends' chickens when they are away, and they definitely roam! Anyway ... eggs. Versatile and delicious. Here are some things you can do with them ...
