This is the first book to introduce authentic Spanish butchering and meat-curing techniques to the American market. Included are more than 100 traditional Spanish recipes, straightforward illustrations providing easy-to-follow steps for amateur and professional butchers, and gorgeous full-color photography of savoury dishes, Iberian countrysides, and centuries-old Spanish cityscapes. Author Jeffrey Weiss has written a wildly entertaining, extravagantly detailed guide on Spain's unique cuisine and its history of charcuteria, which is very deservedly becoming more celebrated on the global stage. Charcuteria: The Soul of Spain is Weiss's rollicking collection of delicious recipes, hilarious anecdotes, and time-honored Spanish culinary traditions.Â
