    Charcuterie Recipes

    About

    Charcuterie is the art and craft of curing meats, and it's a passion of mine. I've cured thousands of pounds of meat for all kinds of projects over the course of my career, and my skill working with various odds and ends is something I pride myself on.

     Terrines

    I love using terrines as a way to use up odds and ends. I have a number of examples you can take a page from-I rarely make the same one twice.
