Cold-Smoking & Salt-Curing Meat, Fish, & Game

By A.D. Livingston

Book Overview

With this book, A. D. Livingston combines a lifetime of Southern culinary knowledge with his own love of authentic home smoking and curing techniques. He teaches how to prepare smoked and salted hams, fish, jerky, and game-adapting today's materials to yesterday's traditional methods.
