"~Homemade"~ is very trendy. With the new, hitherto unrivaled work Dry your own meat. The renowned chef and cookbook author Gerd Wolfgang Sievers is now presenting a book with which connoisseurs of home-made delicacies can try to preserve them by drying meat.

Prosciutto, Graubnden meat, but also unusual foods such as jerk or biltong dried meat specialties from America and Africa have long since moved away from their original function of preservation to becoming a culinary specialty. True connoisseurs can now start making these delicacies at home. Starting with the theoretical basis of meat drying, Sievers shows how to properly dry ham, sausages, pork, beef, lamb, horse and game meat and use it to produce the various sought-after dried meat specialties. The tools required are presented and the different techniques are explained. In addition to air drying, the book is also dedicated to the drying technique of cold smoking, which is more complex than hot smoking, but with a result that makes your tongue water while reading the book.
The extensive selection of recipes provides sure to satisfy every taste.
