I always get Lori's books because they are always excellent. The information in this book is very through and I actually enjoyed reading it.I don't know if I will try to do any of it. The cost of the equipment to do the smoking, grinding and stuffing seem a little overwhelming to me. My husband fancies himself as a can do anything kind of guy. Of course, what he wants to make is blood pudding to have for his proper English breakfast. I am not a fan of blood pudding, so he will have to try this by himself.One of the most interesting things to me was the confit technique. The first time I had Duck confit, I was absolutely sure it was the way the vegetables were prepared. I came home to America and made a very good imitation of the vegetables. So good, that we have them often over chicken.  After I had done so well, my husband informed me that the vegetables were not confit, but instead the duck was. Now I know how Duck confit is made and I understand why it was so delicious.That is one thing I might try to do if I ever get brave enough.Buy this book. The read is worth the money and if you are brave enough to do some of them, I'm sure the outcome will be outstanding.
