From two acclaimed, award-winning restaurants came two of the most acclaimed, award-winning cookbooks ever publishedânow packaged together in a luxurious slipcased boxed set, the ideal gift for any food lover.<br> <br> First there was French Laundry in Napa Valley, setting a new standard for American fine dining.

 | The Art of Making Fermented Sausages
Brand: Bookmagic LLC
The majority of books written on making sausages do not tackle the subject of fermented sausages at all. The topic is limited to a statement that this is an advanced field of sausage making which is not recommended for an amateur sausage maker. Well, the main reason for writing this book was that the authors did not share this opinion. On the contrary, they believed that any hobbyist could make wonderful salami at home, if he only knew how. Highly technical papers were published in Food Technology journals which unfortunately were written in very difficult terms. Thus the idea of bridging the technology gap that existed between Meat Science and the requirements of the typical hobbyist was born. With more information obtainable every day, and commercial starter cultures available to the public, there is little reason to abstain from making quality salamis at home, regardless of the climate and outside conditions. | *$12.89 |
