Leave it to me to get an amazing book all about how to respect the “whole hog” and then to attempt to bake – not to cook a tasty pork chop or other cut of the pig. The thing is, I didn't have any pork in my house when the book arrived. And I really wanted to make the biscotti recipe.
Scratch that. I really wanted my dad to make the biscotti recipe. After all, he was The Biscotti King for at least a decade in the Sanfilippo house – but that's back when we all ate gluten. Fast forward many years and there's been no biscotti to speak of, a very sad state indeed. But, it turns out that my (retired, mind you) dad actually had a lot to do this past weekend.
So I was left to my own devices to make this recipe: Salted Mocha Biscotti.
Click to watch my “Beyond Bacon” video on YouTube to see how I did. Trust me, you want to watch the video… until the end. You'll get a good laugh! Despite my kitchen mishap, the biscotti was delicious!
Beyond Bacon: Paleo Recipes that Respect the Whole Hog is great for way more than a biscotti recipe, though, if that's the only reason you get it, you won't be disappointed.
Here's what you'll find in the book:
- Perfect Pork Chops, better than most restaurant steaks
- Pho Soup with chitterling “noodles” and other healing and delicious soups and stews to stretch your dollar
- the already-famous Savory Bacon Jam fantastic with green apples or our Homestyle Biscuits
- sweet treats made luxuriously rich with lard, such as Grain-Free Pie Crust, Salted Mocha Biscotti, Chocolate Fudge, and Maple Lard Scones
- instructions on how to properly BBQ and smoke your meats as well as recipes to make your own sauces
- instructions for curing your own bacon, pancetta and even home-made sausage better than store bought
- details on how to properly fry foods, like Corn Dogs with Potato Crisps and Sweet & Sour Pork, and
- an extensive guide on how to make and cook with nutrient dense essentials: pork stock and CLA-rich lard.
So many of you ask me about the healthfulness of pork products, as well as what to do with every part of the animal when you get a meat share – this book will answer all of those questions and more!
Beyond Bacon: Paleo Recipes that Respect the Whole Hog is available for pre-order now from Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble online, and will be shipped and in book stores locally on July 2!

I look forward to learning how to make and use pork stock and lard! I make beef stock all the time, but it never really occurred to me to try and make pork stock.
I’m looking forward to making my own pork rinds! And the biscotti, my Gawd, the biscotti!

I’m looking forward to having this gorgeous cookbook because I tend to be the opposit of you Diane: I LOVE baking but am seriously handicapped in the meat department. I just don’t know what to DO with meat of any kind (minus using a crockpot). Baking comes naturally, so of course I’m dying to try Paleo Parent’s lard-a-liscious treats. But I think having a full on hog recipe manifest will up my game in the kitchen. Also: I’d like to stare longingly at those glossy pages/photos for days on end.
I barely cook with pig. I want to expand wayyyy past bacon. I tried a pate de campagne once and it was delicious. I had the opportunity to try Beyond Bacon’s sweetbreads recipe as a tester. It was my first time cooking with organ meats, and they came out fantastic! I want this book because I know it’ll be full of delicious recipes that will help me expand my diet in good ways.
Love this! I cant wait to learn more about using the whole piggy! I always skip past the pork guy at the farmers market because I just always heard pork is a no no. Cant wait to change that mindset

ohter than the odd pork chop and pork tenderloin i don’t eat much pork, so would be great to know other ways to get it into my diet.

I just got myself a new chest freezer so I could have room to store a large quantity of food. I love the idea of having a book that can help me utilize an entire animal. I’ve not cooked much with pork (other than some ground pork and, of course, BACON!). So, having a guide to know what to do with all the parts makes me want to fill up that new freezer with a hog.

I have a love for the porcine. I would love to go whole hog to save on pastured pig & I know this book is just what I need to help me utilize all that deliciousness.
This would be an awesome book to receive! Pork is by far, the tastiest of the meats!

I just invested in 1/2 a pig from a local farm. Yes, an entire 1/2 a pig. I’d love to know what to do with it!
That is so me – I always mess up a baking recipe! Glad you could still eat the tops of those amazing biscottis. The book looks delish!

I had a chance to preview this cookbook when I ran into Stacy at the Crossfit Games regionals competition and not only is it beautiful, but it look like it’s going to be a great resource for pork knowledge in general. I’m looking forward to adding it to my collection of reference/cookbooks!
I am really looking forward to making the maple fudge I heard Stacy talking about on her podcast The Paleo View. I have already pre-ordered a copy, but would love another to give to a friend. Sandy

I am beyond excited about PHO and curing my own bacon. Bring it on 🙂
I am super excited about the nut free baking! With children, baking is essential in our house, and a nut free option would be awesome!

I truly respect the pig!!! This book comes at a perfect time, you see, I just discovered an Asian supermarket in my city that sells virtually every part of the pig. I stood there in awe at all the different offerings…from snout to curly tail.
I wanna learn more porky goodness recipes 🙂

Having grown up in a “fat-free / low-fat” obsessive household (as was the trend), I’m looking forward to how Beyond Bacon can help me learn to love lard and use it in my cooking instead of vegetable shortening.
the recipes sound AMAZING!
Oh my you can never have enough pork belly recipes! Also, our son is on a low carb diet for medical reasons. Any way you can improve the quality of the source products of what you eat is a win! Pork rules ! And so do the Paleo Parents.. and so do you!

The first thing I noticed about this book is it’s beautiful design. Like Practical Paleo, you can tell some real thought was put into the design. Good design makes everything better. You know what else makes everything better? Pork products! I can’t wait to get my hands on this book to get some fresh new pork recipes!

Cute video! I am shy on baking as well! But a friend of mine came to my rescue many many years ago after I had made and I (felt) I had followed the recipe religiously for my then fiancé (but got dumped) (yeah it’s a good good thing) Mom’s favorite snicker doodle recipe which kept melting completely and pouring of my cookie sheets down onto the oven floor burning ack! My friend who had wicked baking skills came over and we made it together… and just whenhought we were done according to the printed recipe (I bought the same cookbook and everything of course a more recent version!) so my friend asked me when do put in the rest of the flour? What rest? We put in the 1/2 cup that it called for?… She said ohhhh helllll noooo it will melt all over your oven! I cried!!!!ay I am not the most inept baker in the world! We called up his mom and checked the ingriedient list from her version of the cookbook it called for 3 1/2 cups of flour but in my book in print it only said 1/2 cup she too agreed what a mess it would make and then I confessed all I had done all day was make the mess and clean the oven and had spent $50-60.00 (back in the early 80’s) and we laughed and laughed! I wrote the publisher about the misprint….never heard back! So just say’in it’s not always you the baker! It can be a misprint or crap recipe that got changed without the author knowing it! Hahahaa! Hope I made you feel better! I would love to win the book!

I am looking forward to the desserts!

I just moved and now have access to an amazing farmer’s market- I can literally make any parts of high quality pig that I want. Want this book, but I’m saving money since I just bought a house that needs extreme renovations!

Can’t wait to see get this book!! Hoping to give some of my family new options for cooking pork in different paleo ways!!
YEAH!!! I actually rendered all my own lard last year. Let me just say it was a tiring task, but the results were well worth the effort!!!
Can’t wait til this book hits the shelves! Looks like it’s beautiful and chock full o great info.
yummm! especially looking forward to grain-free pie crust and chocolate fudge!
Pork and chicken are the only meats my husband and I can agree on (he won’t eat fish or beef), also he is pretty resistant to eating paleo, unless I cook the meal (he refuses to give up sandwiches). We used to cook together often but haven’t in a long time. I think this book would encourage us getting back into the kitchen and maybe show him how awesome paleo can be.
I. LOVE. ME. SOME. PIG. 🙂
I’m SO excited for this book. I grew up eating only chicken, turkey and fish (no red meat ever)…went vegan at 13 and shifted between vegetarian, vegan, and raw for the next 10 years. Once finding the paleo way eating all this new food (ahem, meat) has been a bit daunting! I’ve only had ground pork and bacon, and would love to start experimenting with eating as many different cuts as possible!
I bought “side pork” and realized while it was uncured it was missing the smokey flavor I love about bacon. I’d love to learn to do it myself.
Looking forward to using new parts of the pig. Not just bacon and porkloin.
Finally can find a way to utilize my pork jowls!
looking forward to learning how to cook other cuts of pork 🙂
I love this video…you are keeping it real. I love to bake and since going gluten free and following a paleo lifestyle, I have not baked. I would love this book so I too can try the biscotti. Yum…I’ve never made biscotti. Thanks for the opportunity.

Looks so yummo!! I want!

Would love to win this awesome book! Just in time for my next grassfed meat order from Honored Prairie.
Looking forward to receiving this book after I’m chosen as the winner. I can’t wait to try variations of cooking with pork beyond the standards of pulled pork, chops and bacon.
Would love to win this awesome book! Just in time for my next grassfed meat order from Honored Prairie.
I’m looking to move out on my own soon, and I’m constantly trying to find ways to save money. A lot of the options I’ve explored have centered around reducing food costs, and I’m really interested in buying part of a cow or pig. This cookbook would be an awesome kickstart to that whole process!
I would love to learn more about using the parts of the pig that I would normally not attempt to use. Since eating the Paleo way for over a year now I am much more open to organ meats and the not-so-commonly used parts of an animal. Plus, I love bacon but want to expand my pork repertoire! 🙂
You had me at “sweet treats made luxuriously rich with lard” and I would also like to learn to cure my own bacon.
I would use this book to have some fun in the kitchen. I would love to do something with pork other than the usual pork chops.

I would love to have this book, not only do I love pork but I am getting my first 1/2 pig this fall! I want to be able to use it to the fullest and this book would help me do that.
I have a difficult time cooking pork (I overcook) …and I really want to learn how to do good pork chops.
Just learning all the different ways pork can be cooked.
Ooh! Ooh! I want to cook ALL OF THE PORK THINGS!
Seriously, this cookbook is very exciting and I am looking forward to my new ability to buy quality pork.
I’m learning to butcher my own pastured half hog next week and once my freezer is full of all the bits, I will need help preparing rendered lard and what-not in real recipes… it’s too dangerous to just wing it.
I plan on going to a class (actually in New Jersey) that teaches you to slaughter, butcher and use the entire pig. And at the end of the class (an entire weekend) you take home a pig to do it again! Could use many cookbooks for this!
I’d love to learn how to find and prepare sustainable pork. I’ve heard about the deplorable conditions that most pigs are raised in, and I would like to eat this food guilt-free and learn great ways to prepare it. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
My boyfriend buys half a pig (and half a cow) every year so this book would be great for making sure every bit of it ends up as some form of yumminess 🙂
I never cook pork, maybe cause all i remember from my childhood are dry pork chops…sorry Mom. Scones, pie crust? YES!!
I want the brownies soooo bad!! Haha
Oh, yeah … I’d love to win this book!
I’ve been reading about this on other blogs and it sounds great!
I would love this book to learn about the pig itself. I don’t know much about what to do with pig except use it for bacon, ham and pulled pork. Very excited about this unique book!
I look forward to learning more about preparing the various parts of a hog. I am a bit apprehensive about cuts of pork. This cookbook would be a huge resource for me. I also am curious about the desserts.

I would love to use this book to get over my “pork anxiety” (as in not knowing how to cook it, not knowing which are the best parts for a given purpose, etc.). I’ve made perfectly baked bacon, and did a pork chop in my slow cooker, but that’s the extent of it! I need to do some learning!
Thanks so much.
Finally!! A book that instructs how to cook up the ‘Nasty Bits’….Love!!!! [email protected]
That was one hilarious video! Just thinking about this book makes me salivate. I love the concept and since we just found a local source for pastured pig, it’s perfect timing! Michelle wildflowerbathatgmaildotcom
This book looks like it has a lot of fun recipes 🙂 I am interested in learning more ways in which to use pork. I have avoided pork for a little while because I wasn’t sure how “safe” it was, but I am delving back in, and would love this book full of useful information!
bacon bacon bacon…I would make it a goal to make every recipe in the book!!!
I’m a huge fan of pork and my boyfriend only likes bacon. I would love this book so I could make better recipes and show him how amazing pork can be!
Stacy and Matt’s recipes are always fantastic – I just want to get my hands on this gorgeous book!
I would love this book…we love some pork products at our house…some fresh ideas would be fabulous! My kids are getting bored of my same old recipes.
Brilliant! Thanks for the video laugh!! I would love to learn about preparing ALL parts of the pig.

I REALLY want to buy a whole pig and share it with my brother but I was nervous about most of the extras so this would be incredibly helpful!
I have a whole hog in my freezer that we butchered, but until a year ago I was vegetarian! So I do not have much experience cooking pork, especially all the odd bits.
I want to embrace cooking/baking with lard! #praisethelard
I would love some sweet bacon recipes adding bacon to desserts. Also I need some more variety with my diet instead of cooking the same foods all the time.
I want to make all those sweet treats- in moderation of course! Brownies, fudge, bacon, OHMY!

Pork does tend to get boring after a while… or maybe it’s just I’m in a pork rut. Would love to spice it up a bit with some new recipes!
I want to make the meatloaf recipe first, and then I want to make my way through as many recipes as I can, to learn how to cook pork! Plus, the book just looks so beautiful.
i need some new recipes!
I am just recently starting to learn how to actually “cook” from scratch, and I feel like my generation lost a lot of information that everybody used to know… about meats, preparing, cooking, etc. So I would LOVE to have this book so that I can branch out and cook more than just bacon!
I’ve always felt bad that I end up what feels like wasting so much of the meat that I buy. And it just doesn’t feel like proper gratitude to the animal either. Using more of an animal would be a way of showing true appreciation for the gifts that animal has given. It would be amazing to learn some ways to make better use of more parts of the meat, AND to actually learn how to cook pork well, which I’ve never managed to do!
This video really brightened my day. So I have a great reason for
needing to win this book. On chatting to my boyfriend casually about
weddings I said I wouldn’t want to be a bride without losing a further 2
stone (having lost over 4 stone already- 60lbs). He responded with
“Well when you lose 2 stone I might pop the question..” So I need all
the resources I can get to help me drop the pounds 🙂
I would love to
Would love have a copy of this book. I too would like to learn how to bake a paper weight LOL
I’m trying to cure autoimmune hypothyroidism with diet and am getting reeeeallly tired of grilled chicken salads and spaghetti squash with beef marinara! 🙂
I love pork! I wanna eat it all day…EVERYDAY!

I definitely can use these recipes cooking for my family. My son is diagnosed with PDD. I and my husband strongly believe Paleo is the way to go for our family. Thank you for your great books, I see a lot of passion and knowledge to the subject in them. Good luck to everyone!
I can’t wait to make homemade sausages, for starters!
Thanks for this opportunity!
Ooooh, this book sounds like it’s full of yummy ideas. I’m a bacon girl, but I need more ideas for pork beyond bacon.
So looking forward to this become because 1) I will be getting my first 1/2 pig in a couple of weeks and 2) my husband and I just got our first smoker. Would love to have some ideas and inspiration for both smoking and all the wonderful things that I could do with my pig!
The pho soup sounds inventive and delicious! I’ve always been intimidated by what to do with odds-and-ends of the hog, but it sounds like they’ve got sensible, delicious recipes for every piece!
Hi! I have 30 pounds of backfat in my freezer from a beautiful tamworth hog that I have been saving for this book!!
I am so looking forward to being able to use more parts of the pig in my Paleo diet and buying amazing pork parts from 4505 Meats to do it. Also-I can use the book as leverage to convince my husband that we need to buy a stove -top smoker so he can enjoy homemade smoked sausages,etc.
I’m a newbie to the paleo lifestyle and would love to have some great recipes to help ease the transition off of crap foods!
I feel less creative with pork than any other protein, so I’m really excited for some inspiration. And the biscotti sounds great!
I’ll be starting Paleo soon for health reasons and I could use all the help I can get. I would love to win this cookbook!

I can’t WAIT for this cookbook to come out. Anything with paleo and pork on the cover, and then all tied together with a gorgeous design. Yup, I can tell that I’ll be making everything in this book. The Julie & Julia paleo version (except without the blogging since I’m not so wonderful in that world).
I took a class at our local butcher on how to cut up a whole pig. According to them, the hog is the most economical meat out there aside from chicken: you can use over 90% of the animal! I’d love to have some recipes for some of the “odds and ends,” like ears and tails, as well as some new ideas on how to prepare already great cuts like the shoulder and belly.

I have always considered pork to be the most delicious tasting meat. I only occasionally eat meat anymore, and very infrequently eat pork. My philosophy of eating healthy is to eat mostly plants most of the time, and only a little meat or dairy. Like someone (I think George Washington) said, meat should be a condiment. Nevertheless, when I do cook pork, I want it to taste wonderful so I enjoy the experience. I look forward to help from your book in this endeavor.
I’m so excited to branch away from just bacon. I would love love to learn how to cook with the whole animal!
I’m new to paleo and, actually, to pork! Other than frying bacon (which doesn’t really turn out right!), I have no clue what to do with it! My boyfriend really likes pork chops, but I’m nervous to make them — this book will be a huge help. Also, I love the cover design, it looks great. I hate when paleo cookbooks look sad in comparison to “regular” cookbooks.
I’ve been in a rut with cooking pork lately, so I’m curious to find new ways to shake up my recipe repertoire!
I’d be most interested in healing and delicious soups
I’ll be participating in a meat CSA this year and I would love to try using the recipes in this book!
As a lover of bacon, it’s time to expand my pig horizons. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Oh My Stars! I can’t wait to get my copy of Beyond Bacon. I started with Paleo on January 1st and have lost 35lbs. Life is good… Now my friends and family will not believe that I eat bacon and pork and are convinced that I’m not being honest. With this book I could have some amazing get to together s and picnics and “WOW” the socks off them. Oh My Stars… I can almost taste it now!
p.s. if they don’t come I’ll be in pork heaven anyway:)
I would love to rival my husband when it comes to perfecting the meats. I’m an excellent baker… which is less handy with Paleo lifestyle. :/
You had me at bacon jam.
I would love Beyond Bacon just for that reason! I want to get beyond the bacon. I need to learn more ways to love to eat pork than just eating the bacon. Although the bacon is awesome! From what I can tell, this book is more than just a cookbook. It is a beautiful, informative guide about a delicious creature!
I love bacon and would love to try some new recipes.
My favorite combo is bacon and watermelon!
Right now, bacon is pretty much the only pork we eat — we’ve got a ton of great tenderloin recipes, but they’ve started to become “same old, same old”. I have no idea what to do with other cuts and would love to be enlightened!
I’m on day 7 of the 30-day Paleo Challenge. Before even trying Paleo, I was transitioning into “straight-from-the-farmer” food. We bought our first half a hog this Spring. I’ve read about how to render the fat, but I’m still trying to figure out what to do with some of the other cuts. I’ll be buying this book if I don’t win the drawing, but it would sure be nice to save that cash and put it toward three dozen more eggs!
