Book Reviews of The BLT Cookbook: Our Favorite Sandwich

Book Review: You Know You Want One
Summary: 5 Stars

I finally procured a copy of this out-of-print book and my BLTs improved immediately. My sister had always said to start the bacon in a cold pan, but Jordan recommends preheating a heavy pan for 90 seconds before adding the bacon.

And finally -- instruction on the order of the ingredients! Slather a piece of lightly toasted bread with mayo. (Use a trough if you tend to skimp.) Place thinly sliced tomatoes on the bread, and salt and pepper them. Next the bacon, then the lettuce, finally the top piece of slathered bread.

Beautiful writing extols the pleasures of fatty bacon, farmers market tomatoes, and the freshest lettuce (of whatever variety) you can find. This modest little book also covers bacon soups, salads, and pasta, as well as touching on vegetarian and seafood BLTs.

Summary of The BLT Cookbook: Our Favorite Sandwich

Crisp wood-smoked bacon. Thick slices of juicy, vine-ripened tomatoes. Leafy lettuce with a slather of creamy mayonnaise. All brought together on toasted sourdough bread. Who doesn't love a BLT?

In The BLT Cookbook, Michele Anna Jordan shares her passion and secrets for achieving a seductive harmony of flavors and textures that create the perfect BLT. The sixty mouthwatering recipes range from variations of the classic sandwich to soups, salads, and pastas, all inspired by what Jordan calls the holy trinity of tastes: acid, salt, and smoky, voluptuous pork fat.

Serve up the Grilled BLT Kabobs at your next summer barbecue. Indulge in the tangy Watercress Soup with Currant Tomato Salsa and Bacon on a chilly afternoon. Impress your guests with the elegant Pappardelle, Bacon, and Zucchini with Warm Tomato Vinaigrette.

Has all this talk made you crave the real deal -- stacked high with juicy tomatoes, crunchy bacon, and crisp lettuce? The Full-Tilt Boogie BLT will surely satisfy your hunger. In the mood for lighter fare? The Tomato Salad with Bacon Vin-aigrette delivers all the flavor of the BLT in a refined context. The BLT Cookbook also provides details on how to fry bacon, slice tomatoes, and select the perfect leaf of lettuce.
