This review is from: Everything Tastes Better with Bacon: 70 Fabulous Recipes for Every Meal of the Day (Paperback)

This is an amazing cookbook. Every recipe I have tried, save one, has been absolutely delicious. The coq au vin and vodka sauce recipes are particularly good, the best I have ever eaten, even when compared to what I have tried in excellent restaurants. Pictures are lovely and the instructions are very easy to follow. I wish every cookbook was so inventive, and so reliable.

This review is from: Everything Tastes Better with Bacon: 70 Fabulous Recipes for Every Meal of the Day (Paperback)

If you don't agree with the title, you need to buy this book. If you do, well, buy this book. Either way, you need to try the bacon version of peanut brittle! Most people can't guess the special ingredient that makes it so good. Aside from bacon desserts, there are plenty of more traditional recipes, along with information on working with and buying bacon. Another good cookbook from Chronicle, with their usual attention to design.
