Bacon: A Love Story ($11), is a very sensitive book as it is a love letter to bacon, heralded as the best meat ever by Heather Lauer, a loud and proud bacon enthusiast. This witty collection of bacon bits is packed with recipes, fun facts, history and true hero worship of the smoked porcine. A review of Bacon: A Love Story that appeared in the Memphis Commercial Appeal said that anyone who makes it through this book with craving some of the wonderful savory stuff must be the world’s most strong willed vegetarian. Entertaining, adoring and sizzling with Lauer’s passion, this is a unique book that will appeal to a wide audience.
