What Folks Say about

Front cover of the Going Whole Hog cookbook

TOOK A LOT OF HARD WORK

What I liked most about the cookbook was the bbq sauces – this took a lot of hard work. It’s worth the money. Buy the cookbook, you won’t find one any better. I have tried a couple of the sauces – they were real good!
