This is such a fine cookbook. It has mouth watering recipes with great pictures. We bought it as a gift for my brother who thinks everything is better with bacon or vitamin C. He is a great cook and will love this addition to his collection. Naturally I had to try some of the recipes before giving it to him.

Got this book as a present for Mom for Christmas this year, flipped through it the the moment that it came in the mail.
The first recipe is the one that sold me on it, Pecan waffles with bacon maple syrup,. uhm, yes please and thank you.
Going through the cook book once shows many promising recipes to be made hopefully multiple times
The only thing that I dislike about the book at this point is the photo's. In the pages that they put the photo's there are more pictures of just "items" then there are of the actual recipes. Didn't understand how they decided to give the fullsized glossy pages to just mint leaves or what not, instead of the actual recipe facing that page.

Book arrived in a timely manner and was in "like new" condition. Quick fix with tape on the inside of the book cover was all that was needed. Very pleased with the purchase price and free delivery.

It was a gift, but I did shuffle through it. It contains sections on making your own bacon, delicious recipes, fun facts about bacon and other tidbits. It's a great compilation of interesting information. Definitely recommend it!

This was a gift I gave to a Friend that she chose through Elfster. We used Elfster to organize our Secret Santa this year. Even though I placed the order the same week as the party, and the projected delivery date was as far out as a week after the party, it was still delivered within a few days using standard ground. Me likie!

3.0 out of 5 stars but it's till fun to flip through

I bought this cookbook as a gift for my bacon-loving boyfriend. I do 98% of the cooking, and I was looking forward to trying out some new bacon-infused recipes. Unfortunately a lot of the recipes call for things I've never had on hand and many of which I've never seen at the store, and the only recipe we've tried has been the creamed spinach, which is insanely delicious. Because most of the recipes are impractical for us, I can't rate it higher, but it's till fun to flip through.
