This complete course on charcuterie, which comprises cooked terrines, pâtés, and savory pies, from the world-renowned culinary school FERRANDI Paris includes seventy French charcuterie recipes with step-by-step instructions for preparing doughs, sausages, and a variety of meat and meatless spreads.
