The Key Ingredient

The Egg Comes First

Season 2 Episode 7 | 26m 46s

Which comes first, the chicken or the egg? The egg clearly comes first in Sheri Castle’s lemon angel pie and deviled-egg salad. She rises early with the chickens to gather fresh eggs and cooks with food culture preservationist Gabrielle Carter, who makes Sheri swoon over gorgeous jewel-toned pickled eggs. Sheri also shares a helpful hint on how to quickly assess the freshness of an egg.
