"One of the tenets I pride myself on is only partnering with brands that I believe in and personally use. An ingredient that is a staple in my fridge is Eggland's Best eggs. Eggs are one of my favorite ingredients, and favorite meals, but all eggs are not created equal," says Candice Kumai. "I only test my recipes and cook with Eggland's Best because their eggs are always fresh, perform consistently, and are of the highest quality in terms of taste and nutritional value - all the attributes that matter to a chef."
