CHARCUTERIE
RECIPES AND TECHNIQUES FROM
THE FERRANDI SCHOOL OF CULINARY ARTS
PTS, TERRINES, SAVORY PIES
Photography by Rina Nurra
For over one hundred years, FERRANDIParis has taught all of the culinary
disciplines to students from around the world. Following the success of our
four previous works published by Flammariona comprehensive guide to
the art of French ptisserie, as well as volumes focused on cooking with
chocolate, vegetables, and fruit and nutsit is now time to explore the
French art of charcuterie. This centuries-old cra oers a whole host of
techniques and creative recipe ideas. Pts, terrines, savory pies, and
stungswhether made with meat, sh, or vegetablesare enjoying a
renaissance and have resumed their rightful place in haute cuisine. This art
is part of the French culinary heritage that FERRANDIParis teachers are
committed to keeping alive.
Both traditional skills and creative innovation lie at the heart of
FERRANDIParis s teaching philosophy. We maintain a balance between
the two through strong ties to the professional world, making our school a
leading institution in the eld.
That is why this book not only provides delicious recipes, but also demon -
strates fundamental techniques and shares expert advice. Anyone who
wishes to explore the inspiring world of charcuterie, whether it be at home
or in a professional kitchen, will nd this volume an invaluable reference.
I extend my warmest thanks to those members of FERRANDIParis who have
brought this book to fruition, particularly Audrey Janet, who coordinated
the project, and Marc Als (Meilleur Ouvrier de France ), Stphane
Jakic, and Frdric Lesourd, chefs at the school who have generously
shared their expertise and adeptly combined technical skills and creativity
to demonstrate the rich culinary potential of French charcuterie.
