Description

Atlanta chef, restaurateur and “Top Chef” alum Kevin Gillespie is pumped about pork. He loves it so much he's dedicated his second cookbook, “Pure Pork Awesomeness: Totally Cookable Recipes From Around the World,” to all things swine. The book hits shelves on March 31, but he's inviting fans to come pig out with him on Friday, April 3, for a special cookbook demo, tasting and book signing at Pirch (Lenox Marketplace - located across from Phipps Plaza - 3535 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 230).

The cookbook event for “Pure Pork Awesomeness” takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. Admission is $50 and includes a signed copy of the book, demonstration, an array of appetizing pork offerings and brews from Angry Orchard.

“This cookbook is the culmination of my passion for pork and an exciting opportunity to share all I’ve learned about it over the course of my career,” said Gillespie. “Everyone who knows me knows I am crazy about pork. To be able to put it all down on paper was really important to me. I’m really proud of it, and I hope it’ll inspire people to try new things with pork.”

“Pure Pork Awesomeness,” the follow-up to Gillespie’s successful cookbook debut “Fire in My Belly,” is organized like the pig itself – by cuts - and offers not just recipes but tips on buying the best-tasting pork available, differences among heritage breeds of pigs and what to do with new cuts like "rib-eye of pork."Readers will come to agree with Gillespie that whether it's pork chop one day, pulled pork another or cured bacon the next, pig offers a completely different taste with each creation. Recipes from the book include milk-braised pork shoulder, Vietnamese spareribs with chile and lemongrass, Brunswick stew, pork stroganoff with finger noodles, bacon popcorn and much more.
