With instructions on how to make bacon from scratch and how to feature bacon in brunch dishes, small bites, soups, salads, sides, entrees, and even cocktails and desserts, this full-colour cookbook proves that bacon isn't just for breakfast anymore. Legendary chef and food writer James Beard wrote of bacon, ''There are few sights that appeal to me more than the streaks of lean and fat in a good side of bacon, or the lovely round of pinkish meat framed in delicate white fat that is Canadian bacon.'' Whether you crave its flavourful crunch in the morning, the salty taste it lends to a BLT, or the way it transforms Spaghetti Carbonara, you'll never be disappointed by bacon.
