Country Ham: A Southern Tradition of Hogs, Salt & Smoke (American Palate)

Growing up in Kentucky, my dad and grandfather cured their own hams. This is part of our culture as well as our kitchen table. This book is an interesting look into what used to be survival for farm families and is now haute cuisine in some of the finer restaurants. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great Book.Seemed very well researched and covered a variety of areas. The discussions with the premier country ham makers was great. Plus there was a section on country ham festivals that I did not even know was a thing, will have to go. If you have a passing interest in Country Hams, this is a well thought out quick read.

more of the story of country ham lite on technique nice read.
