PRAISE FOR CHARCUTERÍA2015 James Beard Award nominee: Best Single-Subject cookbook2015 Gourmand World Cookbook Award nominee: Best Foreign-International Cuisine"Charcutería is not just another in a slew of American books devoted to this ancient craft, it's the first to explore the Spanish tradition of curing meat and fish—a lovely, loving, fascinating, and, most all, useful book all lovers of the craft should be grateful for." —Michael Ruhlman, author of Charcuterie and Ruhlman's Twenty"Charcutería goes beyond the famous Spanish hams to consider the whole of the country’s cured meats, and it provides recipes. 'Awesome from top to bottom,' commented one of the judges. 'It strikes me as a must-have book that will stand the test of time. It is also literary; it captures the spirit of the enterprise.'" —Art of Eating Prize, 2015 shortlist nominee"Charcutería brings to life—with real heart, history and technique—an astonishing look at the legacy of Spain’s flavorful meats....This book perfectly marries the necessary techniques of brining, salting, fermenting, and drying with the exceptional stories of Spain’s particular animals...It connects the past to the present. And I know it will open up the door to new possibilities for what you can create at home." —José Andrés, 2011 "Outstanding Chef," James Beard Foundation"Spanish charcutería is world class, yet no one has written a definitive cookbook to help American cooks learn how to make these fine sausages, terrines, and other cured meats. Jeffrey Weiss reveals all in Charcutería: The Soul of Spain, with authentic recipes learned at the side of Spain's finest practitioners of the charcutería art." —Bruce Aidells, author of The Great Meat Cookbook"The pig is the heraldic beast of Spanish gastronomy, and the products it yields are perhaps Spain's most vivid symbols of abundance, thrift, and sheer indulgence. In his handsome, witty, comprehensive book on Spain's charcutería, Jeffrey Weiss knowledgeably addresses this whole big, delicious subject and leaves us hungering to taste the wonderments of which he writes." —Colman Andrews, editorial director, TheDailyMeal.com
