Going Whole Hog Cookbook: Now Available

What an exceptional piece of documented culinary South Carolina history. The effort and care taken to share its native recipes, many of which come from the more famous names regionally (even if by copycat on some, that can be understood) was mind-blowing. What impressed me more was the totality of recipes coming from parts of the BBQ world I’ve not had a chance to explore, like upstate beef-centered hash (I’m a lowcountry boy, hog hash is all I’ve ever known).

I also appreciated the care taken to show off the less famous names of many who shared recipes passed down from generations.

The artwork/photography jumps off the page, the variety of rubs, sauces, methods and styles of cooking, and even sides/desserts and other items is just amazing and structured well.

I’ve not yet met anyone who takes an interest in BBQ that has seen this book say anything to me other than “Where can I get one of those?”

What I liked most about the cookbook was all the southern recipes…pork recipes galore! Want southern home cooking? Look no further! Awesome cookbook!

You will find it very hard to lay this book down once you start digging in it! This book is a “must” for all things BBQ! This book is a Jewel!

Jim,

You must be exhausted! You, My Friend, have put together one hell of a book on BBQ! I was only able to read sections at a time because of me drooling on my computer as I looked through these recipes! Thank you for your indepth research and gem of a collection of some of the best BBQ recipes and sides around! Keep up the great work! I gained 10 pounds just reading through this book!🤣🤣 You are without a doubt The BBQ Man’s BBQ Man!
Happy Holidays Jim to you and your family.

Warm Regards,

Bob Jackson

Just reading quickly through it, I love the history it gives. My Uncle taught me how to do a whole hog over green oak coals and I have loved it ever since. I cannot wait to start the recipes as soon as my back gets better from surgery. We just used red pepper and vinegar my Aunt couldn’t remember one other ingredient from a restaurant in South Carolina, so I am excited to try all that you have.

I have already bought one for my son in law’s birthday and told many people I know about it. I tell them about the history you have and the sauces. And most of them are real excited. If you really like BBQ, you should try it .

Keep doing what you are doing. For those of us that can’t travel right now, it is wonderful to read your emails and read your book. I will make a lot of your recipes and enjoy every one of them. Thank You!

Best cookbook I’ve ever owned. Great recipes for all things meat. I’ve already planned which ones to try next weekend. You won’t regret buying this cookbook. I’ve already shared the book with others and they were so impressed, they ordered one.
