Ham: An obsession with the hindquarter

Author(s): Bruce Weinstein

Meat

In "Ham: An Obsession with the Hindquarter", bestselling authors Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough take readers through the wide world of this versatile culinary staple. This globetrotting guide provides recipes, cultural history, anecdotes and info for ham in all its permutations - from Easter lunch to Iberian jamon to classic Southern-style preparations. The book covers ham in its four main categories: fresh, European dry-cured, American dry-cured and wet-cured. The authors share 100 recipes, including ones for Filipino twice-cooked pork, grilled and herbed butterflied ham and even a perfectly spiced (politically incorrect, but delicious) Moroccan spice rub for roasted fresh ham. The book is brimming with content, but Weinstein and Scarbrough anchor everything with their accessible, conversational style and hilarious personal anecdotes (for example, what happens when you bring jambon persille - 'Ham Jell-O' - to a swanky party? Or, how do two transplants from the big city to the countryside go about making their own prosciutto? The answer is not for the squeamish).
