I'm at The Hawke's Bay Show 19-21 October.

We had a heap of fun here last year in all sorts of egg based activities.

Finding the regions fastest omelette maker, cooking with young farmers and the famous Tui Girls.

We even got Rt Hon Phil Goff to make an omelette!

I'm looking forward to another great show. We'll have lots of recipes to give away and competitions to enter.

The whole country is getting more and more excited.

In fact we think a frenzy may develop. That's right, our Tefal Toast 'n' Egg Cooker competition is running for the whole month and entries are already pouring in.

Don't forget to enter through our Facebook page and tell your friends to enter as well.

Our featured 'Recipe of The Week' has been the Classic Caesar Salad. We hope that you've tried it.

Next week we'll have some ideas for Feeding A Crowd to share with you. Let us know what you cook when you have a big group to feed.

Father's Day is just a couple of sleeps away and what better way to show dad a little extra love than to cook him eggs for breakfast?

We've got loads of recipes for you to try. Just click the tab on our website and you'll find something yummy for dad.

I'm excited! after three days of chatting to some lovely people in Auckland.

I back myself as a bit of an egg know-all but I'm always keen to listen to new ideas and this weekend produced some crackers!

The Eggmont (microwave cooked scrambled egg inverted on a plate). That was Clare's husband's speciality

Cheryl told me that French Toast or Eggy Bread was called Gypsy Toast when she was growing up.

Ray says that at his house finely chopped onion and fresh coriander are added to the egg and milk mixture for French Toast before frying and then the finished toast is topped with a spicy chutney - Yummy!

I was told by two people to add a pinch of salt to the egg and milk and cinnamon and sugar mixture. I did - and it improved things.

Barbara from Orewa New World told me that when she was growing up her family use to make a hole in each end of an egg, blow the contents into a bowl. Then rinse the shell and tape over one of the holes. Next they filled the egg with warm, liquid jelly  and then put the eggs in the fridge to let the jelly set. They would paint patterns on the shells for Easter.

Brilliant! I'm going to try this great idea, you should too.

The hole should be big enough so that you can easily pour in the jelly and you can sit the eggs that you are filling in an egg carton whilst you do it.

You may see me out and about around Hamilton this week. Come and say hello and share you're favourite egg ideas with me.

Bye for now

The Egg Guy
