AUTHOR’S FIRST WORDS…
Do not be afraid of charcuterie.
It is a technique for meat preservation, the origins of which are lost in time. If people wearing leather sandals without electricity can do it, then so can you.
From my diary
This book is a record of my experience and drawn from a diary in which I kept recipes (about 150 of them) observations and results over the past four years.
Why the book?
It was written primarily because the books that were available to me I did not find helpful.
Born out of experimentation
After reading as widely as I could, I spent several years experimenting with recipes and techniques which were suited to my circumstances.
