(More customer reviews)If James Villas doesn't garner his third James Beard award for PIG, I'll be very surprised.
It's been said that in the South every part of the pig except the squeal is used. As I read my way through PIG, I about halfway expected Villas to show us a recipe using the squeal.
This is an exeptional book. You know when you buy a cookbook by James Villas that every recipe has been tested and works. You know Villas wrote every word himself....not a given in these days of ghost written celebrity cook books. Villas is a masterful writer. His directions are clear and thorough. The book is beautiful.
James Villas is a native of North Carolina. He still comes back home on a regular basis to stock up on Southern products. If I had to nominate just 2 cook book writers for my Southern hall of fame, they would be Jean Anderson (LOVE AFFAIR WITH SOUTHERN COOKING, another North Carolina native who had the good sense to move back home from NYC, and James Villas. We're still working on him.
PIG is a must buy for anybody with a love for pork and the food of the South.
