I do not own it but many people rave about it. I do plan to purchase it shortly.

I have that book, and trust me when I say it's the only one you will need. It is full of great info, from explaining the process all the way to advanced techniques.

That book is great. My coworker has it and I've read it and it's really good. I want to get it but I'm waiting for him to give it too me.....LOL

Must read!!

If you are looking into sausage making the one by the gentalman that started "The Sausage Maker" Inc is a good one.

I agree, it's the bible.

That's one of the few Ruhlman books I don't have, but intend to add soon! Although not dedicated to charcuterie, a number of his others, including Ratio, The Elements of Cooking, and most recently Rhulman's Twenty, are all great books, not so much cookbooks as technique books

Yup. The Charcuterie book and the Rytek Kutas book have been keeping me busy for a while. Love them both. Do yourself a favor and just get 'em. :thumb:
