Synopsis: From breakfast and barbecues, to pig pickins and church benefits, pig really is the king of the Southern table. Three hundred classic and modern Southern recipes feature pork in all forms, including bacon, sausages, ribs, ham, and more. And the variety of dishes is even more diverse, from roasts, hashes, and burgers, to soups, gumbos, and casseroles. As in all of acclaimed author James Villass cookbooks, this is more than just a collection of recipes. Its an authoritative tome by a renowned expert on Southern cooking, with the fascinating culture and history (sometimes dating back centuries) explained for nearly every recipe, making this cookbook truly as interesting to read as it is to cook from. Villas provides recipes to illustrate the difference between North and South Carolina barbecue. He offers more than twenty ham recipes, with versions from Georgia, Mississippi, and New Orleans. As a native of North Carolina, Villas presents family recipes from home kitchens like Aunt Bunnys Bacon and Sausage Souffl_ and Maw Maws Mustard Pork Chops and Dumplings in Cider, as well as ones from best-loved restaurants such as the original Louis Osteens on Pawleys Island or Crooks Corner in Chapel Hill. In addition to the recipes, there is a head-to-tail Southern pig parts primer, a glossary of Southern pig cooking terms, informative tips and sidebars throughout, and a full-color insert of gorgeous food photography.
