Dans le Cochon tout est Bon! (Alain Raveneau)

NOTE: This book is in French. 

In the life of the French countryside, the pig slaughter has always been an important moment that often took place between November 15 and December 15. The Fête au cochon or Saint-Cochon then gathered around the same table family, neighbors and friends for beautiful agapes!

Today, this festival returns to many villages: this "sepia-colored" notebook illustrated with many photos makes us share this tradition alongside a family of farmers from a small village in Gironde.

Summary

· The day of the bleeder: preparation of the party, slaughter according to the rules of the art, the preparation of the different parts of the animal, "homemade" recipes
