Tessa the Domestic Diva, Beyond Bacon Beyond Expectations
I admit, I was bit skeptical about the whole concept of Beyond Bacon when Matt & Stacy started talking about it a year ago. I was thinking, “A whole book devoted to pork?! I wonder how useful that will be?”
I am happy to report I was wrong! The cookbook is loaded with easy to use recipes of all shapes and sizes…some fancy, some casual, some baked, some roasted. The best part is, as my family and I have moved toward sourcing our meats from local farmer’s, I can discover new uses for parts of this humble animal I had never thought to use!
Four Fresh Peas, Beyond Bacon Review
I highly recommend this gorgeous, drool-worthy cookbook, especially for Paleo and/or Pork lovers. By showing us how pork SHOULD be eaten and how amazingly versatile it can be, the authors delve deeply into pork done the right way: sustainable, organic and all the rest.

Check out this shout out to the celiac community!
With everything from breakfast to dessert, there’s a recipe in here for every meal of the day. Among some of the outside-the-box ideas: Bacon Pumpkin Pancakes. (Sounds yummy, doesn’t it?)
Cheeseslave, Giveaway: Beyond Bacon & Book Review: Beyond Bacon by Matthew McCarry and Stacy Toth
Want to learn how to render lard at home, how to make your own chorizo, Italian sausage, pancetta, head cheese, and simmer your very own pork stock (bone broth)? How about spare ribs, smoked pork belly, pho with chitterling noodles, lengua carnitas (pork tongue), pork chops, meatloaf, Swedish meatballs? Or sweetbreads (my favorite), grain-free corn dogs, or pork cracklins (pork rinds)?
And yes, you can even make your own bacon.

Virginia is for Hunter Gathers, Beyond Bacon Book Review
Brent and Heather are very talented bloggers who we have had the pleasure to become friends with through our Meetup group. Check out their guest post on cooking as a coupe here.
The first meal we made from Beyond Bacon was the Porktastic Frittata. As luck would have it, this recipe also incorporates another recipe in the book, Italian Sausage Links. The frittata is savory but not heavy, and totally worked as a brinner (breakfast for dinner) delight. We ate nearly the whole thing in one sitting. Pigs? Yes, we can be… and yes, that pun was intended.
Ditch the Wheat, Insanely Awesome Meatloaf – Review of Beyond Bacon
The cookbook covers recipes for every part of the hog including how to render lard, cure your own bacon and make pork inspired dishes. When you receive your copy (which I hope you will order) you will be surprised by a hardcover (not a softcover like most cookbooks). When you open the package to look at the book the cover will grab you instantly. I have been awwing over this cover design since it was released. The cover and the whole book evokes a vintage feel that I love. The pictures are dark and moody. Little details are throughout, like quotes on the sides of pages, tips for how to change up the recipe and stories behind every recipe.
Experience L!fe, Recipe Trials from Beyond Bacon: Paleo Recipes That Respect the Whole Hog
This gorgeous book is filled with paleo recipes that use the entire hog. Yes, even desserts. (Caramel Praline Lard Fudge, Maple Pecan Lard Scones, The Best Brownies, Salted Mocha Biscotti and Chocolate “Butter” Cream Frosting to name a few) As I browsed through the recipes, I was impressed with the overall layout of the book. The presentation makes it easy to follow and provides great images of the food. (And here’s the moment I cast fear aside to sound like a major nerd…I love the typeface throughout the book. Love it.) Scrumptious recipes like Maple Sage Roasted Butternut Squash, Sauteed Green Beans, Cuban Spiced Plantains fill over 300 pages.
