'A brilliant book encompassing everything you would want to know about cooking with pork' - Simon Rogan

The pork on your fork is a truly succulent meat, able to hold its own against any red-meat rival. Words like 'rashers', 'gammon', 'chops', 'belly' and 'bacon' have a poetry savoured by all who know this wonderful animal well. Yet pork can be a tricky meat to cook: it can easily become tough and dry - and achieving the perfect crackling is even harder! But when you know the expert's secrets, you realise that pork is a fantastic meat. It's healthy, inexpensive and incredibly versatile - and the various types of pork offer up wonderfully diverse flavours, aromas and textures.

In Pig, charismatic chef Johnnie Mountain demystifies cooking with pork. With more than 100 delicious recipes, as well as information, tips and QR codes for your smart phone that take you to how-to video footage throughout, this book shows you how to cook pork brilliantly.Pig is divided into four chapters: Home Favourites, gives you simple recipes for the whole family - for example, Grilled Garlic & Sage Pork Chops and Pork & Apricot Tagine. Cured, Dried, Preserved & Smoked, you'll find amazing tastes and textures such as Pea & Ham Terrine and Ham Steaks with Caramelized Apple. Aromatic & Spicy, shows you how to infuse fiery flavours into dishes like Vietnamese Pork Salad and Char Siu Pork. And Slow-Cooked reveals the secret to truly succulent pork with recipes such as Slow-Roast Belly of Pork and Pork Loin in a Fennel-Salt Crust.

Special practical features throughout the book explain the different cuts of meat and how to smoke, preserve, cure and braise. This book celebrates the pig in all its glory!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A declaration of love to our porcine friends that will teach you how to treat them right in the kitchen.

    To start I must admit that I've got massive respect for Johnnie Mountain - something that was reinforced when he stood up for his beliefs and walked out of the Great British Menu. The F-bomb was just an added bonus as he did this. ;-)

    This book is written about the glorious pig, an animal that brings lots of joy to us who enjoy proper food. It's not only written about the pig, it is written as a declaration of love to the pig and its versatility.

    This book not only teaches you about the various cuts of pig, it also brings you recipes from across the world that utilises these different cuts. If that wasn't enough, you will also learn about various cooking methods to bring the best out of the different cuts.

    The information is clear and concise and the recipes are varied, informative, enthusing and a joy to follow. There is lots of small tips and hints from the start to the finish of this book that just adds value.

    It doesn't matter if you already love the swine or if you want to learn how to love it - this is a great addition to any cookbook collection.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best ever pork cookbook
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2013
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    I cheffed for many years and always had a pork problem. When I worked as a private chef I had to make sure my clients were either Jewish or Muslim because I was so consistently rubbish at cooking a leg or shoulder of pork. Johnnie Mountain's book changed all that. His recipe for roast shoulder is foolproof and turns out moist and buttery everytime. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, especailly for cooks with a pork problem - like me.

    This is a beautiful book - hardback, with an introduction that praises the merits of organic pig husbandry. The recipes are inspired and the author writes with a passion for his subject. Highly recommended.
