The Pork Roll Cookbook

by Jenna Pizzi

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!

About the author

I see pictures and images that come alive in my mind. That's where my stories come from. I have the innate ability to be able to hit the pause button and then continue on when I want to see what happens.
I have been a storyteller my entire life. In the times when I was in need of an escape, I was able to create a world of my own to hide for a while.
I have dealt with many traumatic life events in recent years, and I believe that my way of coping with it all has been to sit down and write. I pour every emotion that I am feeling at that moment into the words on the screen. The stories just take on a life of their own. So, now I want to share with the rest of the world, the world in which I create, and hope that it helps the reader to escape into a fantasy of their own.
