Introduction

One may wonder why I am writing a book on egg- cheese, because after all, this is such a common topic, and one knows all about nutritious egg and cheese combinations. But then, this book is going to tell you all about the tips and techniques with which you can eat healthy, with just some egg and cheese dishes added to your healthy diet.

Also, a friend of mine was browsing through some of my books, and she just told me, “all these books are very interesting, but I am often based in places where I do not get these exotic herbs and spices easily. Also, sometimes my budget does not run into buying plenty of fruit and vegetables especially in these inaccessible places. At that time my larder is often restricted to just eggs and cheese.”

So I started to think. Yes, what she said was sensible, and logical, because most of the time, I find myself eating egg and cheese, one because I like it, and two, because those are the items which are in the larder at the end of the month after a whole month of hectic spending and paying off the bills!

This book is for all those people, who want to know about healthy eating, especially using eggs and cheese and their combinations. These recipes are time-tested, and time-honored and have been used since ancient times all over the world, because “hen fruit” and cheese have been part and parcel of human life and the social fabric all over the world.
