Charcuterie The Craft of Salting Smoking and Curing
Charcuterie The Craft of Salting Smoking and Curing

Starred Review. Without the faintest hint of apology, Ruhlman and Polcyn present an arsenal of recipes that take hours, and sometimes days, to prepare; are loaded with fat; and, if ill-prepared, can lead to botulism. The result is one of the most intriguing and important cookbooks published this year. Ruhlman (The Soul of a Chef) is a food poet, and the pig is his muse. On witnessing a plate of cold cuts in Italy, he is awed by “the way the sunlight hit the fat of the dried meats, the way it glistened, the beauty of the meat.” He relates and refines the work of Polcyn, a chef-instructor at a college in Livonia, Mich., who butchers a whole hog “every couple weeks for his students.” Together, they make holy the art of stuffing a sausage, the brining of a corned beef and the poaching of a salted meat in its own fat. An extensive chapter on p

5 Stars Deep fryer heaven
This book is a hoot. We purchased it particularly for the deep fried turkey recipe, but there’s lots more - all very entertaining, and terrific ideas both for theme dinners and the “what should I bring” quandry - trust me, you’ll never duplicate what anyone else brings to the table!
5 Stars Great book! Great Price!!
My husband loves this book. There are recipes to fry anything you can think of — candy bars, twinkies. Then there are the old stand-bys: churros, fried ice cream. He took it to work, and all the guys loved flipping through it.
5 Stars Awsome
There are some awsome recipes in here, including one for believe it or not, fried oreo cookies. There are useful frying tips too which I won’t give away so as not to spoil the book.
I almost gave it four stars for not having any nutritional information on the recipes, but it’s obvioulsy not a sin not to include it, I hope he does in a second edition however.
5 Stars Great Fry Book!!!
Like the title indicates, it has recipes for most anything you can think of frying. It also provides good information on the basics of safe frying and oil selection. I’ve found the general cooking times it suggests quite helpful for experimenting outside of recipes. The only problem I have is the unique names for common dishes makes finding the recipes a little challenging, but is not a big deal.
4 Stars I admit it… I’m a fry hound…
My husband got me this cookbook as a holiday gift to complement the fryer he got me last year. We’ve been successfully enjoying the fryer, so far, but this book takes it to another level.
I’ve only made one recipe (Fry-Grilled Pork), but that one was a HUGE hit. We had friends over; one ONLY eats pasta with red sauce; she not only ate the pork, but loved it.
I’ve read through the book and look forward to making more of Rick’s recipes. I’m hungry now!

5 Stars George Foreman Grill with speakers
I was a bit skeptical about the speaker quality before I bought this item, but I am thrilled with it. I love the grill. It is easy to clean afterwards and it is nice to have music playing!
5 Stars Great Grilling
The George Foreman IPOD and MP3 Indoor/Outdoor grill is Awesome… Food cooks wonderfully! We’ve used it indoors and outdoors… Luv It!!!!
4 Stars It’s good. Not great, but good.
Honestly, how great can an electric outdoor grill be? You aren’t going to get a smoky flavor and the great marks of a charcoal grill.
That said, for an electric grill it’s very good. The grill got pretty hot (I didn’t have to use the highest setting to cook up a very tasty chili-marinated skirt steak, and a pretty good salmon steak. The convenience is great, and it’s obviously safer. And, since we aren’t allowed to have gas or charcoal in our grilling location, it’s the best we can do.
The speaker system is fine — nothing to write home about. It’s weird that it has two plugs to plug in, but it’s convenient to not have to have multiple devices.
Bottom line — is it as emotionally satisfying to use an electric grill? Absolutely not. But, for what it is, this grill does a pretty good job.
