The Craft & Culture of Artisan Schnaps reveals the difference between Austrian Schnaps and the Schnapps known to many Americans. Schnaps is made by distilling fruit-much like eau-de-vie, grappa and slivovitz. It is wholly different than its American version which is vodka infused with fruit. Part memoir and part how-to, The Craft & Culture of Artisan Schnaps tells the story of the author's own experience in the Austrian Alps learning, appreciating and making Schnaps. Ross shares his insights and recipes with his readers.

The craft of Italian salumi, now accessible to the American cook, from the authors of the best-selling Charcuterie.

As the sources and methods of making our food have become a national discussion, an increasing number of cooks and professional chefs long to learn fundamental methods of preparing meats in the traditional way. Ruhlman and Polcyn give recipes for the eight basic products in Italy’s pork salumi repertoire: guanciale, coppa, spalla, lardo, lonza, pancetta, prosciutto, and salami, and they even show us how to butcher a hog in the Italian and American ways. This book provides a thorough understanding of salumi, with 100 recipes and illustrations of the art of ancient methods made modern and new.
