Book Reviews of The Bacon Cookbook: More than 150 Recipes from Around the World for Everyone's Favorite Food

Book Review: Bacon is the food that makes other foods taste better!
Summary: 5 Stars

Some recipes use a little bacon for an added punch of flavor; others use a lot. There are elegant appetizers, hearty main dishes, gorgeous breakfasts & brunches, and even--gasp!--lovely desserts! I don't mean desserts to go with bacon dishes, I mean desserts with bacon in the recipes. And yes, the Canadian bacon-maple syrup custard is to-die-for!

The book includes more than 150 recipes. A handful of them have photographs included; these aren't complex pastries that you need to see to understand, and there are certainly enough to tempt your tastebuds. The paper is glossy and will stand up well to abuse. The layout is clear and easy-to-read. There's an extensive index to both recipes and information. Plenty of information about different kinds of bacon is included, and recipes range from simple two-ingredient affairs (bacon-wrapped dungeness crab legs!) to somewhat more complex dishes (clams casino). I don't think anything in here is over-the-top in its complexity.

I absolutely loved the eggs in bacon cups (another two-ingredient recipe!), as well as the Philippine adobo. I can't wait to make more!
