Cooks&Books&Recipes Editors:

Who doesn’t love deviled eggs? Well … in talking with friends, family, and others about this cookbook, I discovered the answer: quite a few people. Apparently, deviled eggs elicit a strong response. People either love ’em or hate ’em. I am definitely in the first camp. I never even knew the other camp existed. Case in point: when I was growing up, every household had a deviled egg dish. How else would you be able to carry the necessities to the cookout or the picnic or the brunch or the potluck dinner?

But I also never knew there were other ways to make deviled eggs. You mashed up the egg yolks with a little mayo, powdered mustard, salt/pepper, and were good to go. Sure, some people sprinkled paprika on top, and some got a little more creative with an olive slice on top. But that was about it. Then I read Kathy Casey’s D’Lish Deviled Eggs. Yolks mixed with salsa or A1 sauce or Thai curry paste or onion soup mix or buffalo wing hot sauce. Stuffed eggs topped with tortilla chips or radishes or truffles or grilled corn or lobster. Plus, Casey offers cooking tips (one hint: fresh is not necessarily better for boiled eggs) and party menus: Steak & Deviled Eggs for Father’s Day; Retro Shrimp Cocktail for a “Mad Men” Theme party; BLT Deviled Eggs for a summer picnic; Dirty Martini Deviled Eggs for Girls Night — just to name a few.

For those of you are already with me in “love deviled eggs” camp, get this cookbook. As for those of you who “hate ’em”? This cookbook just might convince you to reconsider which side you’re on.
