This holiday season, try out some of Libbie Summers' recipes from her new cookbook The Whole Hog Cookbook. (Rizzoli)
For Thanksgiving she suggests Fresh Ham, a recipe with one fifteen-pound leg, one cup of tamari soy sauce and nothing else. “When meat’s that’s good, you don’t need much,” she says. Or, Red-Hot-Summer Berry Glazed Ham basted with a raspberry, strawberry, cranberry, honey and chipotle sauce. (Rizzoli)
“My pie dough will change the world,” she laughs. Vanilla sugar, salt, cold butter, cold leaf lard and ice-cold water, “make the best pie you’ll ever eat.” It’s the secret to her Sweet Potato Pork Pie, ground pork, onions, sweet potatoes, applesauce, cinnamon and cloves. (Rizzoli)
Try her delicious Bacon Beignets recipe, but anything with bacon is gooood.. (Rizzoli)
