Eggs are among the most versatile of ingredients, and might I add, one of the simplest way to a tasty breakfast.

Fittingly, eggs take center-stage in this year’s Krug Book 2016, published by champagne house Krug.

17 Krug Ambassade Chefs are featured, including familiar names like Christopher Millar of Stellar at 1-Altitude, Kirk Westaway of JAAN and Ryan Clift of Tippling Club.

For Chef Christopher Millar of Stellar at 1-Altitude, his dish is a seasonal creation using exquisite carabinero prawns.
