Darina Allen: Best ways to enjoy your beautiful fresh eggs

Today was such a joyous day; after more than three months we allowed our flock of hens out of their houses. They have been confined on the instruction of the Department of Agriculture along with all poultry in these islands because of the threat of Avian flu in Europe. 

We’ve been feeding them indoors, bringing them up the end of greenhouse crops - kale, bolted lettuce and salad greens, but it’s not the same as being able to romp around and range freely in the sunlight.

You can’t imagine the excitement when we opened the popper in the door of the Palais des Poulets.
