I have a rack of cookbooks. Many were gifts, all are good reads and some I've taken a step further and actually cooked from. I recieved another one this season from my brother and it has begun to take upon a life of its own.
The book is 'The Whole Beast: Nose to Tail Eating' by Fergus Henderson. It has dominated much of my time in the kitchen and in general in the few weeks I've owned it. I was forced to borrow it back to my brother as I was so taken aback with its content that I had to share it - as much as this hurt me to be away from my precious book for a short period.
I intend to continue cooking recipes from it and documenting my progress here. I will unabashedly improvise on ingredients and techniques that I do not agree with or have other reasons to be opposed. This may come across wrong to those that are familiar with the books info; fear not, I shall not replace any of the offal described therein. I shall say no more on this particular angle, as it will be wholeheartedly explained as the times arise within the individual recipes and blog posts.
And here we go!
Your Beans and Bacon was terrific. The texture of the beans ( velvety) perfectly complemented the tenderness of the pork which was still succulent. This is comfort food at it's best. I'd love a bowl of these with a glass of Blaufrankisch, Hungarian red.
