I love Diana Henry's cookbooks but Salt Sugar Smoke must be the best yet. Arrived on my bookshelf last week, this w/end, with lots of guests around to feed, I cooked not two but three dishes out of it, Pork Rilletes, Pickled Spicy Black Grapes, and a beautiful maple syrup marinated pork roast. A great success on all counts. I can't wait to try more recipes from this great book.
