Description

This PDF booklet is intended for people NEW to curing meats and sausages that would like to start with zero experience. I cover two of the most popular charcuterie groups: dry sausages (salamis, chorizos…) and whole muscles (loin, bresaola, prosciutto…). It starts by covering the foundation concepts and techniques required to make different charcuterie and then walks you through making individual projects that will progressively build up in complexity from a basic salami all the way to a whole prosciutto! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions during your journey into curing meats!
