Cook ALL the things

Everything but the squeal...remember that paean to the productive pig? Here's the recipe book. All the the bits, with dozens of ways to make them delicious. Want discussions of French food culture, you got it, want to know what ARE those things in the window, you got that too. And they're good, and here's six ways to make them. Just want a good recipe for homemade sausage; there's a chapter for that. several, actually. And another chapter on hams. Chapters for the different pates, too. So many recipes! Yes, other books have them too. My favorite rilletes recipe is Davidsons, but...only that one. THIS book has all of them. Hands down the best one-volume resource out there, no mater what bit you've got or what you want to eat when you're done.
