I know, WTF is that?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charcuterie
Basically its a branch of cooking devoted to preserved meats. I am most interested in the salt-cured/cured meats, brined meats, fermented sausage/salami (sounds awesome huh?;)), smoked meats.
I'm going to pick up this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Charcuterie-Craft-Salting-Smoking-Curing/dp/0393058298
and get cracking after buying a few essential tools/ingredients.
Anyone do this?
As I create/cook recipes from the book I'll be sure to post the relsults in this thread. Please pray that I don't get botulism if you have a free minute. :D
