Book excerpt: A guide to purchasing, preparing, and cooking pork using the culinary traditions of the American South—includes photos, recipes and dining recommendations. Discover some of the essential tips and recipes behind the best pork dishes in the south with Chris Chamberlain, author of the popular The Southern Foodie Cookbook. Arguably the most democratic of all proteins, pork is welcome across the country from a gourmet pork belly dish on the menu of the toniest Charleston bistro to a whole hog roasting in a hole dug in the sand of a beach in LA (Lower Alabama). A geographic tour of the Southern states will showcase restaurants in the region that have special talents when it comes to pork. The chefs and pitmasters have shared some of their most sacred secrets, the actual recipes for the best pork, barbecue and bacon dishes that emerge from their kitchens. Since man cannot live by pig alone, there is also a selection of recipes that are great accompaniments to the pork dishes contributed by the fifty Southern restaurants that are featured. The Southern Foodie’s Guide to the Pig introduces readers to all the parts of this versatile animal and teaches procedures to prepare all sorts of wonderful dishes.
