If you've given serious thought to dabbling in whole-hog cooking but fret over how to fit a pig carcass in your refrigerator, this UK import is the book for you. Wilson and Trotter's (coauthors, A Taste of Scotland) historically informative, geographically diverse, and attractively designed book makes it easy to browse recipes by pig part or technique. Recommended for carnivores in search of inspiration and dilettantes who want to know more about pig lore and butchery but prefer to make charcuterie from individually purchased parts.
