101 Things to Do with Bacon (101 Cookbooks)

We got this book as kind of a joke stocking stuffer type thing for Christmas and let me tell you – we actually use it and it is pretty good! There are a number of recipes in here that you wouldn’t think of if you had a pack of bacon to use and a pantry of odds and ends but let me tell you – they work and they work really well.We’ve actually made dishes out of this to serve at parties. Like formal family type parties and they got GREAT reviews. Everybody thought that we were culinary geniuses to think up a recipe like this. Little do they know we are dirty recipe stealing thieves mwahahaha!Just kidding – we told them about this book and they thought it was hilarious. When we told them about some of the other recipes in the book they genuinely seemed interested. It actually started a very nice conversation and now whenever we are hosting something we make sure to make something from this book and to leave the book on display somewhere. Especially with new people it serves as a great icebreaker or conversation starter. We will routinely have new parents over for play dates with our toddler and this gives us a good chance to talk about something other than each other’s kids.The recipes are quite easy too. The peanut butter bacon cupcakes are to die for. You wouldn’t think of it at first but the fat and salt go so well together to make an awesome sweet and savory cake. You should get this book just for that recipe!

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my sister-in-law. Before wrapping it, we spotted a Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. We were skeptical at first, but our curiosity was too much to handle. We made the recipe with our kids for Santa and left them out Christmas Eve. When we woke up early in the morning to assist Santa, all the cookies were gone, including the ones in the kitchen. After scratching our heads, we went to check on the kids and they were covered in chocolate. I said to my wife, "There is no way these kids ate all those cookies!" I looked over at her and she was biting her lips trying not to laugh. My wife then confessed that she ate a handful the night before. We all had a pretty good laugh the next day. So there you have it, my whole family loved the weird bacon cookies. We ended up ordering this book for ourselves. If you like bacon and are open to new things... get this book5 out of 5

Gave as a gift to bf's father, now we're treated to bacon delicacies on the regular!

I didn't realize this was spiral bound till after I bought it but metal spiral so better quality. It also is a tinier book than thought and doesn't have pictures of the food. But, the recipes do sound really good. I got it as a gift for my brother, whom is not a cook so this should be a nice little gift. I would say that this book is perfect for people that loveee bacon, want simple/easy recipes, or want a starter cook book.

OMG...Can we get any better? Let's face it, we can't eat this every day, but when we do indulge, what a great way to do it. These recipes take good things and make them better. Even can do things with healthy ingredients. This will be a favorite recipe book, and I have lots. And would recommend to anyone for those times when you want a special dish to share or when you just want to enjoy a good meal. Thanks for so many good ideas!!

Who doesn't love bacon? Everyone, except for maybe Porky Pig!I bought this as a gag gift for my friend who is a bacon-holic, but it turns out that these recipes are actually quite good. Who knew that adding bacon to tried and true recipes would make them so tasty?I would highly recommend getting this book for the bacon lover in your life. P.S. I'm still waiting to taste test all the recipes that my friend makes.

Awesome book. So many ideas that I have never heard of. It is definitely going to get some use.

Just great! If you kind of like bacon, this will make you love bacon. What i particularly enjoy is the breadth of recipes in this- tarts, waffles, soups, desserts- it has tons of really good ideas. I really like the helpful hint pages, like about nitrate-free bacon having more salt, or flavored bacon burning easier, or storing bacon in airtight in waxed paper. Mmmm bacon...

Having bought the occasional American recipe book , I should have expected that a number of the recipes called for cans of this ,packs of that or other ready made , or ready cooked ingredients . Easy cheats which may suit those wanting quick results . As suggested by another reviewer , some of the offerings , such as 'Chocolate glazed Bacon Brownies ' did seem imaginative ! But what finally let it down was that bacon was often just used as a garnish , which merely highlighted the paucity of thought of the author , who failed to excite the taste buds with new and imaginative recipes using bacon as the central ingredient . Anybody for 'Bacon Popcorn '?

Fantasic book with amazing recipes ranged from simple to advanced. Purchased this for a friend who loves bacon and she was over the moon. The book is made to look and feel like a cookbook using high quality materials and a metal binder on the left side. If your a lover of bacon this is certainly the book for you!

Bought this for my bacon-mad friend who thought it was hilarious. Some of the recipes are truly mental but genius at the same time.

Never get bored of bacon again

fabulous birthday present for a bacon addict!
