The Whole Hog Cookbook

Libbie Summers has a special way with words and pork! Her first solo book, The Whole Hog Cookbook, is a stunningly photographed quintessential “pork for chicks” cookbook, but one she assures all “dudes will love too”.

There’s a whole lot of pork to love, as demonstrated in this cookbook devoted to all the favorite cuts from the hog –from bacon to butt. Plump home made sausages sputtering on a grill, thick wet-cured bacon sizzling in a pan and a juicy sweet and sour pork chops finished in the oven. From grilling and frying to braising and pickling, Libbie has a special way with pork, taking comfortable dishes and updating them with a stylish twist and making you laugh with her musings along the way.

Summers spent much time as a kid on her grandparents’ hog farm in rural Missouri –even wrestling pigs at the state fair –and went on to become a cook for the rich, famous and always hungry crew aboard some of the world’s most beautiful yachts. Today, Libbie works as a Food Writer and Culinary Producer for television and film. Her client list includes a who’s who among celebrity chefs including Savannah’s own Paula Deen.
