Pork is healthy, inexpensive, and versatile. Yet this succulent meat is tricky to cook -- and achieving the perfect crackling is even harder! In Pig, charismatic chef Johnnie Mountain shares his pork preparation secrets in more than 100 delicious recipes like Grilled Garlic & Sage Pork Chops and Pork Loin in a Fennel-Salt Crust. Practical features explaining the different cuts of meat and how to smoke, preserve, and cure, plus smartphone links to instructional videos, make Pig a pork-lover's dream.
Johnnie Mountain is a charismatic and entertaining chef, star of BBC2's "Great British Menu." He previously worked at Cafe Dell Ugo, Zilli Fish, and The Fat Duck, and then branched out on his own in 2000, opening Mosaica, then The English Pig, and, most recently, The Atrium, all in London.
