written by Sara Perry, a food commentator and columnist for The
Oregonian. Her editor at Chronicle Books suggested bacon as a cookbook
subject. Bacon's popularity and usage was increasing, but Perry believed
that a paucity of recipes would make writing the book difficult.
Recalling her fondness for honey-baked ham, she combined sugar and bacon
to create dishes and realized that bacon could be used to add seasoning
in flavoring dishes, including salads and pastas. The book includes
recipes for bacon-flavored dishes and desserts. It was published in the
United States in 2002 and in a French language edition in 2004 in
Montreal. It received mainly positive reviews and its recipes were
selected for inclusion in The Best American Recipes 2003–2004. The St.
Petersburg Times classed it as among the "most interesting and unique
cookbooks" published, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette highlighted it in the
article "Favorite Cookbooks for 2002" and The Denver Post included it in
a list of best cookbooks of 2002. A review in The Toronto Star
criticized a lack of creativity in the choice of recipes.
