Summary: Cold Smoking & Salt Curing Meat, Fish & Game
Review: A very disappointing book. The descriptions are to vague and are of little use to anyone other then someone with absolutely no knowledge what so ever of this subject. I got more information surfing the net for 45 minutes then this whole book has cover to cover. What good is a book that feels the need to include a recipe for a ham and cheese sandwich? If you are looking for information on smoking and curing meats I highly suggest you look into one of the other books on this subject. This book is not the money.

Summary: Cold Smoking and Salt Curing Meat, Fish and Game
Review: This is a great cookbook for the serious hunter or just anyone who loves to smoke or cure foods. The book is divided into 2 sections. The first part explains salted, cured, and dry cured foods and how to make your own brined or corned meats.The second section explains how to smoke fish or meats, and gives instructions for building a smokehouse, the best types of wood to use and many excellent recipes for all types of meats, and fish. Make your own bacon or jerky. Great gift book for the outdoorsman!

Summary: Not what I had hoped for . . .
Review: This slim volume, while interesting, did not provide the depth I had been hoping for. However, what really ticked me off is that the index is horrible. I was particularly interested in a recipe for cold-smoked salmon. There is one in the text, but it doesn't show up in the index. Of course the author also suggests cooking the smoked salmon before eating -- yeah, that would be great on a bagel!

Review: We got this book in the library and decided that it needed to be part of our collection at home.This is a great book for do-it-yourselfers. Those of us that want to take the middle man out, raise and cure your own meat this is the book for you. It also has some great recepies in the back.
