Recipe Booklet http://discojing.com/uzura-no-tamago-de-kawaii-kyarakutaa-o-tsukurou/ http://discojing.com/uzura-no-tamago-de-kawaii-kyarakutaa-o-tsukurou/#comments Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:23:25 +0000 discojing http://discojing.com/?p=3621 This is a cute recipe booklet that comes with a set of cutters used with quail eggs. These cutters have been becoming more and more popular recently (though I’ve yet to use mine!), so I thought I’d post this book up.

The cutters are made by Arnest‘s Smile Zakka Group. You may recognize some of the other things they have listed on their site.

From cover to cover, this is an eight page book. I think it’s a great way to find ideas not just for quail eggs, but any type of egg. A lot of these decoration ideas could be used for other round foods such as onigiri or desserts.

    I got these super yummy cookies (and cute picture of potatoes!) from Nicole at Another One Bites the Crust. She sent them to me after I donated to help raise funds for her friend Alex’s expenses (incurred after being hit by a drunk driver and being hospitalized). You can read more about Alex and Nicole at her blog~

    Another One Bites the Crust is a great blog that has awesome recipes and photography. It’s especially great if you or a friend are vegan, vegetarian, or have any kind of alternative diet. (I personally eat EVERYTHING, but I love exploring new foods!)

    I actually received these in the mail October 16th, but I’ve been slacking just a little lately on updating. Oh, and my boyfriend didn’t even know these cookies were vegan and he devoured them. The entire package was gone in twenty four hours, just between the two of us (eep!).
