Title: Inspirational!
Product review: I absolutely love this book. It treats the glorious history of preserved animal proteins with the respect and detail it rightly deserves. "Whether thrifty or luxurious" is fully embodied, from foie gras terrines to meatloaf, to bacon, or blood sausage, or even prosciutto and lardo it's all here. Proper methods are outlined clearly and logically, and recipes are of reasonable size for the home cook. I have produced several recipes from this book, and my coworkers and I are pleased with the results. This book demystifies charcuterie and places it squarely in the hands of the people (As it needs to be). It's a forgotten art among home cooks, and was once vital for survival; now we can practice for the joy, and for the flavor.
