Curing & Smoking


The River Cottage Curing & Smoking Handbook by Steven Lamb

Everything you've ever wanted to know about curing and smoking is in this handbook.   Steven Lamb captures and relays the romance and excitement of curing and smoking.  It's all about taking control of the food that enters and nourishes your body.   It sounds like a lot of work, and it is a commitment, but Lamb offers many helpful tips and easy recipes to get you started.   Some of his recipes take 2-3 minutes (smoked oysters) and some take a minimum of 19 days (bresola).  There's something for every palate.

If you enjoy eating smoked and cured meats, you'll enjoy reading this book.   Never say never.

I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for this review.
