Discover the World Through Eggs: A Culinary Journey with The Egg WandererAre you ready to crack open a world of flavor, culture, and connection? Introducing The Egg Wanderer: A Global Cookbook of Egg Recipes, a 200-page masterpiece by James Harper, a Wyoming native turned global explorer who’s spent a decade chasing the humble egg from Jackson Hole to the farthest corners of the earth. Published by xAI Press in 2025, this cookbook isn’t just a collection of recipes—it’s a passport to 37 egg dishes, heartfelt stories, and practical wisdom that will transform your kitchen and your perspective.James Harper’s journey began at The Elk’s Horn diner in Jackson Hole, where he flipped eggs for locals under the shadow of the Teton Range. But a chance encounter with a Dutch traveler sparked a hunger for more, sending James on a global quest to uncover the egg’s role in kitchens worldwide. From smoky markets in Marrakech to neon-lit stalls in Bangkok, he discovered that eggs are more than a breakfast staple—they’re a universal language, bridging cultures and generations. In The Egg Wanderer, James brings that magic home, blending his Wyoming roots with flavors from Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, the Americas, and Oceania.Dive into four rich sections, each a chapter of James’s journey:Section 1: Egg Basics (4 Recipes) – Master the essentials with James’s Wyoming-honed techniques for perfect hard-boiled, sunny-side-up, scrambled, and poached eggs. These foundational recipes are your gateway to egg mastery, complete with tips to avoid rubbery whites or broken yolks.Section 2: Eggs Around the World (24 Recipes) – Travel through 24 dishes across four continents, from Dutch uitsmijter to Thai kai jeow, Moroccan shakshuka to Mexican huevos rancheros. Each recipe is a story—of a Lisbon tavern’s smoky baked eggs or a Kyoto master’s delicate tamagoyaki—crafted for home cooks with accessible ingredients and clear steps.Section 3: Egg Icons (13 Recipes) – Celebrate the egg’s star power with classics like devilled eggs (five ways, from Wyoming traditional to spicy kimchi), eggs Benedict (four variations, including a Wyoming elk sausage twist), and sweet egg creations like Mexican flan and Australian pavlova. These are the dishes that define memories, perfected with James’s global flair.Section 4: Egg Wisdom & Appendices – Learn from James’s travels with practical hacks (peel eggs effortlessly, separate yolks with a bottle), plating tips, and beverage pairings that elevate every dish. Appendices include heartwarming stories, a sourcing guide for the best eggs, and a measurement chart for global cooks.What sets The Egg Wanderer apart? It’s more than recipes—it’s a narrative. Each dish comes with a story, a nutritional breakdown, and a chicken fact (did you know hens can recognize up to 100 faces?). James’s tips, honed from years on the road, ensure success, whether you’re a novice or a seasoned chef.
