Pure Pork Awesomeness by Kevin Gillespie

On Bravo TV's season 3 of Top Chef, Kevin Gillespie became known for his love of pork. He literally wears it on his sleeve with his forearm tattoo. His first book,Fire in My Belly, a James Beard Award finalist, included his famous Bacon Jam. Now he shares his unbounded passion for pork in a book devoted entirely to the subject. Pure Pork Awesomeness celebrates pork's delicious versatility with more than 100 easy-to-follow recipes. Dig into everything from Bacon Popcorn and Bourbon Street Pork Chops to Korean Barbecued Pork Bulgogi, Vietnamese Spareribs with Chile and Lemongrass, and Banoffee Trifle with Candied Bacon. Organized like the pig itself, recipes use every cut of pork from shoulder and tenderloin to pork belly and ham. Find out how to buy the best-tasting pork available, differences among heritage breeds of pigs, and what to do with new cuts like "ribeye of pork". . . all from a witty, talented chef who knows the ins and outs of cooking pork at home.

I have not been as impressed with a cookbook as I am with Pure Pork Awesomeness: Totally Cookable Recipes from Around the World since Adam Perry Lang published Serious Barbecue: Smoke, Char, Baste & Brush Your Way to Great Outdoor Cooking originally back in 2009I can’t put this book down. I love it! (Larry Gaian, I Laugh...Lest I Cry)
"If you enjoy cooking with pork, Pure Pork Awesomeness is an excellent addition to your cookbook shelf. Professional chef Kevin Gillespie did an awesome job in every aspect with his cookbook."
