The BLT Cookbook is a cookbook about the preparation of bacon, lettuce, and tomato (BLT) sandwiches. It was written by Michele Anna Jordan and was published by William Morrow Cookbooks in the United States in June 2003. Jordan is a food writer and has written for The Press Democrat; The BLT Cookbook is her 14th published book. She researched the book for ten years and in the process she taste-tested hundreds of variations on the sandwich, describing it as America's most beloved sandwich. She instructs the reader on how to acquire and prepare the best ingredients for the sandwich. The book includes recipes with varying ingredients, though each recipe includes tomatoes. Many recipes in the book are not sandwiches, and include appetizers, soups, salads, and desserts. Jordan also suggests wines to accompany the sandwich.

The book was positively received, and the National Pork Board highly recommended it.[1] A review in The Detroit News said that the book includes "mouthwatering recipes",[1] and the San Francisco Chronicle called it a "neat little book" on the subject.[2] The food editor for the Daily Herald wrote that the book's recipes "will surely shake up your next toasted meal".[3] The Anchorage Daily News called it the "definitive book" on the BLT sandwich.[4]
