Pork Roll Cookbook - Hardcover

The ultimate tribute to the mid-Atlantic region's favorite treat, with more than 50 tantalizing recipes featuring pork roll!

This book is a celebration of Pork Roll, the pork-based treat originating and commonly available in New Jersey and Philadelphia. It was developed in 1856 by John Taylor of Trenton, New Jersey. The Pork Roll Cookbook explores the world of pork roll and its history, and features more than 50 dishes made with this unique regional delicacy! Pork roll is typically eaten as part of a sandwich, with popular condiments including salt, pepper, ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, lettuce, and tomato, and it’s often enjoyed as a popular breakfast sandwich known in the region as a "Jersey Breakfast,” or "Pork Roll, Egg, and Cheese,” in which fried pork roll is topped with a fried egg and American cheese and served on a hard roll or bagel. However, today, pork roll is branching out! The Pork Roll Cookbook features such wonderful recipes as Pork Roll Hawaiian Pizza and Pork Roll Jambalaya, as well as tantalizing Pork Roll recipes from popular mid-Atlantic restaurants, and so much more!
