The Concise Beginner's Guide to Curing Foods

The concise Beginner's Guide to Curing Foods isn't a cookbook. Instead, author Stephen Bernhard helps the reader become comfortable with the basics of salting, brining, and smoking foods. Written to help the beginning charcutier (a person who typically uses these techniques) in understanding the basic principles of these preparation methods, The concise beginner's Guide to Curing Foods is informative and easy to understand and follow.

Topics include kitchen health and safety, tools and ingredients, starter recipes for readers to begin and experiment with, tips and tricks to make things easier and safer, and much more. This book demystifies the techniques used to make delicious dishes which will leave your dinner guests amazed and hungry for seconds (and maybe thirds).
