Comparing Bruce Aidells's Pork Expertise: Tested Recipes & Surprising Meat Insight (Sustainability Hack)
We picked up Bruce Aidells's Complete Book of Pork expecting a cookbook, but what we found was a masterclass in pork mastery. From sous vide to Korean barbecue, Aidells delivers a diverse range of recipes that feel both innovative and rooted in tradition. His lessons on selecting cuts-like the nuanced difference between a leg of lamb and a tenderloin-turned our grocery trips into mini-lessons in culinary anthropology. Yet it's the sustainability angle that truly stands out: we learned how to source ethically, reduce waste, and even repurpose leftover pork into unexpected delights, like a quick stir-fry or gravy. The blend of practicality and passion makes this more than a guide; it's a conversation with a foodie who's deeply invested in the craft. We'll be referencing this book often, especially when craving a deeper dive into the world of pork.
