First Day of #Book Gifting: The Southern Foodie’s Guide to the Pig

On the first day of book gifting, Rural Mom suggests: The Southern Foodie’s Guide to the Pig: A Culinary Tour of the South’s Best Restaurants & the Recipes That Made Them Famousby Chris Chamberlin

Probably no surprise that we’d start off our annual Rural Mom 12 Days of Book Gifting Suggestions with a fabulous cookbook. This one will keep you cooking through the holidays and well beyond!

If you have a lover of all things Pork on your holiday gift list, you’ll want to take a look at this book. Part cookbook, part pig from snout to tail tutorial, part Southern travel guide, this book has a little bit of everything all served up in easy to read, appetizing chapters.

The Southern Foodie’s Guide to the Pig teaches you the ways of the pig from the very start of the book with pit master Pat Martin walking you through the Whole Hog procedure. Starting with buying your pig, building your pit, prepping your hog, making the Whole Hog rub or mop/baste, cooking process and serving- all before page 10!

There are so many rubs, mops, drinks and side dish recipes that a true Foodie will have their snouts stuck in this book for days. The travel section is a tour guide of some great Southern restaurants, cafes and holes in the walls that make living in the south so pleasurable. Your foodie recipient will want to take this book along when they leave home, just in case they get hungry.
