Summary: WHAT A FIND!
Review: Here's a treasury of pickled egg recipes (more than 40),plus a mostly humorous collection of biographical highlights of author Violet May Steele/Clayton's very unusual life. There are also many , probably little-known facts about the state of Missouri, all in one convenient, spiral-bound book. Three different jars of eggs are pickling in our refrigerator right now, with Annie Campbell's Picnic Eggs (pg. 40) just test/tasted after 7 days in brine. They are outstanding and very mild! Divided between hot & spicy and sweet, there's a pickled egg here for everyone's taste, with added information on how to boil,peel and care for eggs. As a bonus, this must be the only book ever to be dedicated to a White Leghorn hen. Named Lady Macduff, this busy chicken holds the one-year egg-laying record of 303 eggs produced in 1913,according to the Oregon State Agricultural Experimental Station. This is egg-zactly (sorry!)the right gift for a cookbook collector, a true egg lover, or just a real fun read for anyone.

Summary: Great Cookbook - Fun to read!!
Review: I love this cookbook. I never knew you could do so much with pickled eggs! The stories about Ultra-Violet were entertaining and heartwarming. I also enjoyed all the litte tidbits about the state of MissouriI love the names of the recipes. I've never much cared for pickled eggs but I'm going to try some of these recipes. If Ultra-Violet's family enjoyed them all those years - they must be good!

Summary: Ultra-Violet's VERY GOOD Pickled Egg Cookbook
Review: I thought the recipes contained in here were very good. There are all sorts of recipes that will suit everyones tastes, from Super Hot to Very Mild. Things that you never thought would go into a pickled egg recipe, such as chili pepper, ginger root, cinnamon, hot pepper sauce, jalapeno peppers, and Old Bay seasoning are in a lot of these tasty recipes. This book also has amusing tidbits of information about the author and her family interspersed with the State of Missouri facts. I highly recommend this book if you or your family enjoys pickled eggs and "something different".

Summary: The Simpler Life with Simple Food
Review: Ultra-Violet's Pickled Egg Cookbook by Violet S. Clayton is a hybrid to be sure. It's 3/4 cookbook, 1/8 storybook, and 1/8 fact book. It pays homage to the elevation of a simple country food - the egg! It is organized into three catefories of pickled eggs (hot & spicy, sweet, and eggs with beets) and the spiral binding makes it especially nice to use in the kitchen. When you need a break from pickling, you can read the short facts about eggs and Missouri. The best however is the tall tales about Ultra-Violet herself. The most positive thing I can say is that I was completely tickled and thoroughly entertained by her antics. And true to this country-style cookbook, it made me feel right at home even though the author grew up during the Great Depression. Maybe the simpler life isn't so bad.
