RECIPE: Egg Salad For National Egg Salad Week

April 16, 2010 at 7:29 am · Filed under Cheese-Yogurt-Dairy, Food Holidays, Recipes

National Egg Salad Week is the first week in April, reason to explore what makes a really great egg salad.

Hard-cooked eggs with mayo isn’t egg salad, but a recipe called Eggs Mayonnaise.

It’s pretty dull.

You can add celery and onions to make egg salad and call it quits at that—but you can do so much better!

Check out our deftly seasoned egg salad recipes and many variations of the basic recipe.

We’ve also included the history of mayonnaise—because where is egg salad without it?

And to follow it up, the history of egg salad (which, needless to say, comes after the invention of mayonnaise).

  • You can make your own mayonnaise for the egg salad—much more delicious than store-bought. Here’s Julia Child’s mayonnaise recipe.
  • Find more of our favorite egg recipes, and how to make the perfect hard-cooked eggs.

    		 Even in the world’s wealthiest nation, nearly 17 million children worry about where their next meal will come from. That’s nearly one in four children at risk of hunger, with limited access to the basic nutrition they need to develop to their full potential.

    Last night, Share Our Strength’s Taste Of The Nation tour launched in Charlotte, NC and Manchester, NH. It continues to 25 other cities from now through the end of June.

    Billed as “the nation’s premier event to end childhood hunger in America,” the event raises money by serving affluent food enthusiasts elegant fare from top chefs.

    Food, drink and services are donated, so 100% of ticket sales support Share Our Strength’s programs.

    In Philadelphia, one of the tour cities, 24.5% of residents live below the poverty line and 260,000 people are “at risk for hunger.”
    That’s why those who can afford as much food as they’d like—and who appreciate the best food—are encouraged to take part.

    We won’t list all 25 cities here, but see if your city is on the tour and purchase tickets at Share Our Strength/Taste Of The Nation.

    You can also make a donation directly or in someone’s name. Maybe that’s what Mom would really prefer for Mother’s Day (May 9th).

    TIP OF THE DAY: Savory Whipped Cream

    April 15, 2010 at 7:58 am · Filed under Cheese-Yogurt-Dairy, Condiments, Recipes

    We’re having fun this month with savory whipped cream—to garnish soups, mains, even hors d’oeuvres. We’re using it instead of sour cream and crème fraîche.

    You can make a simple, salty whipped cream, curried whipped cream, garlic whipped cream or whipped cream infused with any of your favorite herbs. The idea is to flavor the whipped cream with a seasoning you’d normally use with the food.
