Guide Review - The BLT Cookbook
I confess to loving books that reveal an author's passions for what are seemingly everyday things. In this case, the humble BLT is glorified by author Michele Anna Jordan, sweeping the reader along in her ecstasy. Jordan takes us on a journey of her love affair with this decadent classic and educates us in the process. With a guide to procuring the "must have" ingredients to the expert combination of uncommon elements, Jordan provides a multitude of ways for home cooks to indulge daily in these flavors. And if health-conscious readers feel a little squeamish about slathering on the mayonnaise as Jordan recommends, she provides enthusiastic justification for putting aside your qualms without remorse.
