This is a really cute book, not exactly groundbreaking but very creative. I thought the sides and pasta dishes were best; most of the entrees look like they'd be too rich. The recipes vary in difficulty and might not suit all tastes (like kids). The photos are great, and the accompanying text/facts, etc is very interesting.
How can you argue with a book whose title is an irrefutable statement? Personal all-time favorite is the peanut butter bacon cookies. Absolutely divine, I'm not kidding. Getting people to *eat* them when they know what's in them...that's another story.
It's true, everything does taste better with bacon! There's a particularly nummy recipe in this book for bacon biscuits with home-made apple butter. Yum!
