Reception
First printed on October 1, 2006, Seduced by Bacon was reprinted 3 times by March 9, 2007. It was featured on a Saturday edition of CBS's The Early Show in a segment called "Chef on a Shoestring", where a three-course meal consisting of recipes from the book was created for four people for $40. The menu featured a warm baby spinach salad with oranges, red onion and bacon as a starter; Chinese glazed salmon for the main course and pecan, brown sugar and bacon ice cream for dessert.
One reviewer described the book as capturing a big food trend: the use of bacon to flavor everything from pasta dishes to sweets. The book has also been mentioned in more recent newspaper stories reporting on bacon's popularity in the United States, a phenomenon sometimes referred to as bacon mania.
